I'm not quite so vexed with the situation. I and my siblings and virtually everyone I grew up with (I was born in 1956) had all the measles, mumps, chicken pox, all the crap you get vaccinated for these days and we all survived. I don't go so far as to believe that the world won't survive without vaccinations and I am particularly ticked off over the chicken pox vaccine crap - just a TM like move on the part of Merck.

Those who choose to ignore the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. I liked this bit: Movement members say it is not a religion, but stresses "natural" methods of staying well. Followers are urged to eat nutritious foods, exercise regularly, meditate and take other steps to maintain their health. Yes, I can really see the world's viruses respecting their healthy lifestyle and twice daily practise of meditation. Still, there's always the yagya programme as a last resort. Then there's the triumph of irrational thinking over common sense: Leila Montgomery is one of the Maharishi school parents who obtained a religious exemption to avoid vaccinations. Montgomery's 9-year-old son, Dil, is a third-grader at the school, and her 18-month-old daughter, Lyra, will soon start preschool there. Montgomery said her application for the exemption wasn't based on an organized religion's teachings, but it was sincere. She defines her religious belief as "my ability to listen to my inner intuition." She added: "I believe science is not my God." Montgomery said her children never get sick, and she credits good nutrition, exercise and other healthy habits. She doubts vaccines are as effective as promoters claim. She said she's not overly worried about her kids contracting diseases such as measles. "I don't live my life in fear," she said. Maybe not, but she'll live her life in sorrow if her kids die of measles. I almost hope these deluded idiots get what they're asking for but a lot of other people will get ill when diseases like measles come back. It's an astonishing yet true fact, you may not be ill now but you may get ill in the future. Maybe this woman is so brainwashed by her lack of real world experience she actually thinks her children's current good health is an indication of their future good health? I wish her luck... I also blame the prevailing stupidity of the TMO and it's "prevention is better than cure" meme that puts having a perfectly balanced pulse ahead of anything else when it comes to health management. Oh, and eating seasonal organic vegetables. That's a big plus in the fight against contagious diseases obviously [eye roll]. PS I think that "I believe science is not my God" is the dumbest statement I've ever encountered..
