"Recent polling suggests that one quarter of Americans now have doubts about the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines following a years-long campaign against immunizations by once-fringe actors." Sadly, those once-fringe actors include Secy of HHS Kennedy. Shame on him.

There should be no religious exemptions from child neglect laws when parents' refusal to seek medical care seriously harms their child. Neither the right to control the upbringing of your child nor your religion should be able to trump your child's safety.
