My best friend is an attorney. She says the school cannot make you vaccinate your kids as long as you say its agains’t your religion. If you say that they cannot even question you about what religion you are etc. She has been doing it for years to avoid vaccines for her two kids she thinks are unnecessary.
If people are falsely claiming religious exemptions to avoid having their kids vaccinated, they should be required to produce supporting documentation from their place of worship, typed on letterhead paper, signed, with contact information.
It should not be that easy to endanger everyone’s children by refusing to have yours vaccinated.
Whooping cough is already causing localized outbreaks and killing babies, and there have been several measles outbreaks, all because selfish anti-vaxxers refuse to have their kids vaccinated. Anti-vaxxers could very easily cause a resurgence of polio.
The diseases that vaccines prevent are killers. Infectious disease used to be the number one killer before childhood vaccines were invented. I have absolutely nothing but contempt for those who want to bring back those diseases.
