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.

If the people in power didn't agree to prop up religion it would have already died out.

Not vaccinating your child should be a felony offense, where the punishment is 2 years in prison and you lose custody of your children. This shit has gone way too far.

People will believe ANYTHING, and they will commit to the point where they can't back down.

It shouldn't be allowed.  "Religious reasons" is just another name for "philosophical reasons".
The only exemptions allowed should be for medical reasons, which have been verified by a qualified physician.

Everybody has the right to believe what they want; they don't have the right to use their beliefs as an excuse for putting their neighbors at risk.

I think people should be allowed not to vaccinate their kids.

But those kids should not be allowed contact with other children in parks, schools, events or any public places.

Mothers have a right not to vaccinate, and the society has a right to protect itself.

There is no debate. There are only assholes selling conspiracy to gullible people. Just like big oil companies and car companies don't want to face the fact our species is causing global warming.
