“From the AP: ‘Sabrina Rahim doesn't practice any particular faith, but she had no problem signing a letter declaring that because of her deeply held religious beliefs, her 4-year-old son should be exempt from the vaccinations required to enter preschool.’ ”
Ed Cognoski responds:The good news is that the number opting out is less than 1/10 of 1 percent, so only a tiny number of parents are making this fear-based decision. Nevertheless, if after parents are given the facts, they still want to opt out, they should have that choice and they shouldn't have to hide behind a religious excuse to do so. Atheists should be allowed to be just as irrational as believers in God.
