Spotty Logic: Mandated Chicken Pox Vaccine for school

1. The chicken pox is a benign, self limiting childhood illness. 99.9% of children suffer NO complications and gain life-time immunity. Not a single Idaho child has died from the disease (or complications) in more than a decade.
2. CDC reports that the Chicken Pox vaccine is NOT effective long term adding a second dose due to waning immunization rates.
3. Chicken Pox vaccines can cause serious injury or even death. 1 out of every 1,481 children administered the VACCINE suffered adverse reaction.
4. Complications from the chicken pox disease are EXTREMELY RARE. 12 individuals per Million will have complications. Its a vaccine for convenience rather than for a deadly childhood disease.  Designed to keep parents at work and children in school but Medical Reports now show its not cost effective.

1. Benign Childhood Illness experienced by the entire population as children PRIOR to 1995.

For 99.9 percent of healthy children, chickenpox is a mild disease without complications. However, up to 20 percent of adults who get chickenpox develop severe complications such as pneumonia, secondary bacterial infections, and brain inflammation (which is reported in less than one percent of children who get chickenpox). Most children and adults who develop these serious complications have compromised immune systems or other health problems.

2. Chicken Pox Vaccine NOT effective long term with ‘immunity waning’ so that CDC now suggests a second dose. <source> 2

We give our children the chicken pox vaccine. This vaccine required by many schools and daycares carries a limited protection from the illness and is not guaranteed effective. The vaccine itself contains a LIVE VIRUS which is KNOWN to spread chickenpox to others.
How Effective is the chicken pox vaccine?

• Chickenpox vaccine effectiveness is reported to be 44 percent for any form of the disease and 86 percent for moderate to severe disease;

Consider this. 

Most concerning is that Chickenpox is much more serious when caught by previously unexposed adults, when it can lead to pneumonia.

Mass use of chickenpox vaccine by children in the U.S. has removed natural boosting of immunity in the population, which was protective against shingles, and now adults are experiencing a shingles epidemic.

From the story above its obvious, the vaccinated individual could spread the disease to the immuno-compromised, who can develop septicaemia or meningitis. 

Its worth noting chickenpox illness is more of a concern of economics than of deadly outbreak. Children are banned from childcare during the long course of the contagious window of chickenpox, a parent has to take up to a week or more off work to look after their afflicted kids at home.  The CDC and local health departments use the ‘time from work’ reason to have children vaccinated.

5. Is the Chicken Pox Vaccine itself dangerous? YES.
Some children will have life long injury from the vaccine itself.

Chickenpox vaccine is already associated with adverse effects in one in 1,481 vaccinations.1

Using the MedAlerts search engine, as of September 30, 2015 there had been 3,358 serious adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) in connection with chickenpox and varicella-containing vaccines since 1990. Over half of those serious chickenpox vaccine-related adverse events occurring in children six years old and under. Of these chickenpox-vaccine related adverse event reports to VAERS, 161 were deaths, with over 60% of the deaths occurring in children under six years of age.
