That's a bit of a loaded comment.
It seems extreme to say that parents who don't vaccinate their kids should be criminally punished with child neglect charges. For one, they think they are keeping their kids safe by not vaccinating them. If there is family history of autoimmune disorders, other immune issues, methylation issues, or if they've had a bad experience with vaccines in the past, then I can see why a parent may be hesitant. I don't agree with it, but I don't agree with all this over blown hatred towards these people either. This whole ordeal about villainizing people who are not on "our" side of an argument is where my pushback is coming from here.
We're mot discussing sides of an argument that have little or no impact in reality, like the belief in gawd. We're discussing keeping the public at large from the ramifications of stupid people believing verifiably harmful agendas being pushed by celebrities.
You may believe these people are keeping their kids safe, but they aren't. And, they are putting others in harm's way! If there is a legitimate medical concern over the vaccination, a health care professional would determine that risk far better than mom and dad, even if there's a family history.
Would you be ok with a kid spraying an aerosolised poison around a school as long as it only affected 1 in 10,000 and was only fatal to 1 in 100,000? If you're not ok with that, you shouldn't be ok with a walking petri dish attending school either.

bold mine
Those would more than likely fall into the medical exemption category. I think they are talking about otherwise healthy kids whose parents don't comply with the vaccination law.
