I never said they were being treated as an exception, not a rule, I said that Covid as a disease was an exception, not the standard by which we hold vaccinations in general. Have you ever had to show your measles vax to get into a restaurant? The policy where students coming into the school system from elsewhere having more time to provide their proof of vaccination is not a new policy and has been around for a while. The specific problem right now is the number of migrant families who are entering the system, which means that this policy is being scrutinized due to the issues that are arising. As I said in my original comment, I’m not here to discuss whether these students should be allowed to attend school until they can provide proof of vaccination, but if they don’t provide that proof within 30 days it’s moot anyway since they will not be able to attend at that point, having not met the standards (the same vax standards Ur precious kids are held to) within the time limit that students coming from elsewhere are given.

But go off and sue the school system because your kids are “forced to vax” and others are not if that’s what you still believe

Covid was the exception, not the rule. This policy isn’t new. However, in my original comment I said whether they should be allowed to attend until vaccinated is another matter entirely. Your original comment seemed much more up in arms that your kids are forced to vaccinate while these kids aren’t, which is not the issue here. Glad we’re on the same page now that everyone is being held to the same exact standard, with one group given more time to meet that standard due to valid circumstances. No need to continue the convo from here.

The rules are different for people coming from other places where the standards might have been different. They are all held to the same standards, just given 30 days to meet those standards. You’re a nyc resident apparently whose children have been attending NYS schools for years. Why would they need the extra time? They should already be up to the standards, right? That’s the point here

As the article states, students transferring from another state, including asylum seekers, have 30 days from the start of the school year to prove they’re vaccinated or start the process. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here. Everyone is held to the same standard, but students coming from other places have a little more time to get things situated.

As is said in the caption, they have 30 days from the start of the school year to prove they’re vaccinated or start the process. They’re not exempt, they’re just giving them time to figure it out. Whether they should be allowed to attend before they are fully up to date is another issue, but they’re not being held to any different standard
