Should the government require children to be vaccinated for preventable diseases?
Yes, but with exceptions for those whose religious beliefs forbid use of vaccines
Allowing religious exemptions to mandatory vaccinations undermines public health by hindering the achievement of herd immunity, potentially leading to outbreaks that harm the vulnerable. It raises concerns about equal treatment under the law, favoring religious beliefs over secular principles in a secular society. Moreover, it may prioritize individual religious freedoms over the broader ethical responsibility to prevent harm to others through vaccination.
