Score one for Governor Jerry Brown and the California legislature: they have just banned personal and religious exemptions from the standard vaccination series.  And score one for science!  Because vaccination works, and prayer doesn't.

EDIT: Fixed the link

The anti-vaxxers are already trying to repeal it. 

But hey, at least it got them to gather 'round.  If everything works out, they'll all come down with some easily preventable disease and eventually put two and two together.

Happy to see this, kudos to them for making the logical choice. Can you believe Mississippi and West Virginia are the only other states that do not have exemptions for religious or personal reasons?

Somehow I greedily want the anti-vaxxers to "see the light" by getting sick by a disease there's a vaccine for. A taste of the cost of their ignorance.

BTW, why do you have a link to the New Horizons in the OP?

Good news!

Anti-Vaxxers are basically saying "I'd rather have a dead kid than an autistic one"  (While ignoring the fact that vaccinations don't cause Autism)
