# Oakland County Woman Ordered To Jail After Refusing To Vaccinate Her Son

Filed Under: Ferndale

PONTIAC (WWJ) – An Oakland County woman has been sentenced to seven days in jail after refusing to comply with an order to vaccinate her 9-year-old son.

The order was handed down in Oakland County Circuit Court Wednesday, at which time Judge Karen McDonald also announced that the boy would be vaccinated today.

In explaining her decision, McDonald pointed out that Rebecca Breedow of Ferndale, together with her attorney, signed an order in November, 2016, agreeing that the child would be vaccinated. McDonald said that there was never an appeal of that order, and that Breedow never asked to have the order set aside.

The court order stems from an earlier custody hearing where the boy’s father said he wanted the vaccinations for the child. Breedow told WWJ that she objected to grouping the shots together. [Get more details about the case].

Breedow’s husband, Gary Breedow, disagrees with the judge’s decision.

“I think it’s horrific; to me it’s a worst case scenario,” he said. “For a mother who has done and followed all of the state exemption laws, never had her voice truly heard in this court…I think it’s absolutely horrible.”

Michigan is one of 17 states that allows for medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions from vaccines.

Rebecca Breedow has said she believes McDonald was motivated by her own pro-vaccine beliefs; and her husband says they will appeal.

Tasha Shurgin was among protesters gathered outside the courthouse. How does she feel about the outcome?

“I don’t think that going to jail is ever good, but I think it’s important that people stand for what they believe,” she told WWJ’s Charlie Langton. “I don’t think she could life with herself; I know I couldn’t live with myself if I was forced to make a decision that goes against everything I believe in.”

The boy is now in the custody of his father.

   Decisions about what this country is going to look like in the future are about to be made. Why not simply take the child, shoot him up, give him back? Done. Why bother going through some kind of ‘process’ which is only designed to have the same exact effect?

   Looks like a solid ruling to me on the following points:
   *Rebecca Breedow signed an order in November, 2016, agreeing that the child would be vaccinated.
   *the boy’s father said he wanted the vaccinations for the child.

   People forget this child has a father. His opinions count as well.

   So, here’s a question, if vaccines work, why are they afraid of an unvaccinated child?

      Because unvaccinated children are the disease vectors exposing children who are too young for the various vaccinations such as newborn babies, very young children, elderly (who’s vaccinations have weakened over time) and those that are otherwise subject to suppressed or compromised immune system.

         I wasn’t going to bother commenting until I saw this completely unscientific response from Jaret Hill. Please do some research rather than just spouting off some untruth. 1) read research about shedding from live virus vaccines, 2) please link research that shows that unvaccinated children harbor more disease than vaccinated children, and 3) why are there disease outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations (even 100%?).

   Vaccines save countless thousands of lives yearly. Giving many at the same time may overtax the immune system but overall, unvaccinated children are a public health menace.

   Horrific. I don’t trust today’s vaccines at all. Big Pharmaceutical and Big Medicine are designed to protect their own profits, not us.

   If everyone else is vaccinated what is the big deal? Only the un-vaccinated get sick right???

    pro-vaxxers cloud the issue by ignoring the harmful additives in vaccines.
    when you point out the dangers of mercury and squalene, they say “but, but, but… POLIO!”
