Are all the anti-vaxers homeschoolers?

I thought ever school district in the country required you bring in your "papers" LOL before they start-

For example, my girl starts kindergarten this fall-

Parents, please bring with you:
•Birth Certificate
•Social Security Card
•Proof of Residency
•Proof of Current Immunizations
Immunization Requirements
Please visit the Health department for information.

So are these anti-vax idiots not only causing harm to their kids but having to home-school thus "teach" them as well? That becomes an even more scary thought......

Neither state allows exceptions for religion or philosophical reasons.

There's the problem. States allowing exceptions that are other than medical necessity.

Medical necessity is the only valid reason to refuse vaccination. Everything else is pure, unadulterated bullshit.

I'm sick of the stupidity in this country. If we don't stop it, it's literally going to kill us. It already is, as a matter of fact. I don't know what I'm going to do if it gets any worse.

I volunteer at a free flu clinic every year. We screen people for known factors that would increase risk from the vaccine. Every organization that does vaccines should screen people anyway
