 Dr Paul Offit thinks no one should have a reason to reject his beloved vaccines.

"The ruling was basically: If you can have a medical exemption, why can't you also have a religious exemption? And that was it. Now, there will no doubt be people in Mississippi who will choose a religious exemption, not necessarily because they have a religious exemption to vaccines, but because they just don't want to get a vaccine. And now this is a loophole that allows them to do it."

 @27fb58c4 Medical decisions are personal. Should not be mandated, end of story. Article ends yet again with trying to pull empathy strings with outright lie - those who want vaccination and get it by their own definition are protected, other people choices should not affect them at all, not affect society at large. We are not a herd, if they want to be in a herd, their choice, I want to be a free man. 
 @27fb58c4 and statistically they are not refuseniks, which is mighty handy, eh. 
 @27fb58c4 these people are obsessed with forcing you to allow them to assault the public against their will. They need to be physically stopped.
