    Californian crackdown on religion

    Full story here.

    California lawmakers on Thursday approved one of the toughest mandatory vaccination requirements in the nation, moving to end exemptions from state immunization laws based on religious or other personal beliefs.

    The measure, among the most controversial taken up by the Legislature this year, would require more children who enter day care and school to be vaccinated against diseases including measles and whooping cough.

    Those with medical conditions such as allergies and immune-system deficiencies, confirmed by a physician, would be excused from immunization. And parents could still decline to vaccinate children who attend private home-based schools or public independent studies off campus.
    Only 47 more to go
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              Talk about ignorant nonsense.

              Gee, does this mean Alabama and West Virginia, two other states which make vaccines manditory except for medical exemptions, are also "attacking religion"? There are dozens and dozens of countries with manditory vaccination laws because it is great public health policy.

              BTW this only covers kids going to public schools, private schools, or a licensed day care. Sadly, the religious wackos still have an out via home schooling where they can risk the lives of everyone and spread disease.

                At least, home-schooled kids aren't in contact every day with thousands of other kids.

                  Vaccines have been manditory for public school students here since before WW1. What changed is in the 1980's they bowed to religious extremists and anti-science nutjobs and changed the law to allow a personal belief exemption. Doctors and public health officials have been trying to change it back ever since. The new change is that they will, once again, no longer allow a personal belief exemption.

                        The recent measles outbreak that swept across the country didn't start at a school.

                        PS I for one welcome California in finally deciding to abandon liberal nutjobs and follow the path laid down by Mississippi wrt vaccination rules.

                          Jeez Dinner, you've seen my movie haven't you? We totally had to knuckle under to them for the sake of humanity. You can't vaccinate radiation poisoned kids.

                              Some liberals but also lots of religious conservatives.
