Well, now, this is more than a little obstreperous on the part of Bishops.
This from the D. C. area:
...Clark said she knew she would need to seek an exemption in order for her daughter to be at school.
Her
daughter’s physician wrote a note, and the family applied for a medical
exemption for the missing vaccine, which was approved by the local
Catholic school.
This year, she knew she would need to reapply for the exemption, and she did.
But this time, it was denied....
The Archdiocese refused to explain the change despite the fact that its policy manual apparently allows for exemptions.
The list goes on:
...Conscientious objections or waivers, which
may be permissible for attendance in public schools, do not qualify as
an exemption in Catholic schools in Texas,” Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller told Texas reporters this month.
In
West Virginia, Bishop Mark Brennan told reporters that as his state’s
legislature considers allowing private schools to set their own vaccine
standards, the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston month pointed to “not
going to change our practice. We will be requiring the normal set of
immunizations for children in our schools.”...
Here's a bit of wry humor: a Bishop (Brennan of W VA) making up stories about efficacy:
...Vaccinations have a more than two centuries track record of really helping to improve public health...
And yet, some vaccinations do no such thing, Excellency. Care to comment?
Back to the D.C. mom:
...Clark said she is not convinced that the
safety studies conducted on vaccines are sufficient in gauging potential
long-term effects, such as the development of chronic diseases.
“To
my knowledge, none have been studied for safety over six months. So do
we know the long-term effects?” she asked. “Are we shifting acute
disease to chronic disease?”...
No doubt Bishop Brennan has a scientifically valid and proven response. Right?
The US Bishops find themselves in the hole and insist on continuing to dig. Their Catholic Charities immigration-grift is exposed, as is their "Human Development" Alinsky-worship. Now they will play Surgeon General, too?
Well, nobody said that a miter makes you smart.
