Measels outbreak in Washington sparks vaccination debates... again

An interesting story. Apparently, they (I believe the state of Washington) are now trying to pass a law that prohibits parents from vaccinating their kids for "moral, personal and philosophical" reasons, but still allows parents to deny their child vaccinations based on religious reasons. So lawmakers are, once again, pandering to the religious assholes in order to avoid a shitstorm.

I'm so sick of this nonsense. If Nutbag A cannot opt out of vaccinations for moral or philosophical reasons then why should Nutbag B be allowed to do it for religious reasons?

I can understand wanting to maybe wait on some vaccinations, like the HPV vaccinations which can cause serious health problems in small percentages of children, but to just overall deny your kid the vaccinations that can possibly save their life is absolutely retarded. I'm sorry it just is.

What do you guys think?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
