I agree, with empathy and compassion let us see to it that every child is vaccinated so herd immunity can be maintained.
If someone chooses to undermine that, let it be an attack on America and treated as treason rather than a religious exception.
I value each person enough to want them to be properly educated and vaccinated so they can understand that their vaccination is necessary to ensure that neither they nor they neighbors are killed by the disease.
A child that is not vaccinated is at risk for contracting the disease. His vaccinated adult neighbors may be safe from it, but their 11 month old child is too young for the vaccine and may be murdered by the careless exposure. At the very least, it should be treated as manslaughter. On the other hand, since it is a willful decision not to vaccinate, it could fall under biological warfare.
