On Thursday, New York’s state senate and assembly voted to repeal the exemption, which allows parents to refuse vaccinating their school children for religious reasons.
This was prompted by the supposed “worst measles outbreak in decades”.
According to federal officials this year’s measles outbreak has surpassed 1,000 illnesses, out of a state population of 19.5 million, the highest in 27 years (if measles vaccination rates are increasing this could support the claim that more vaccines CAUSE measles outbreaks)...

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the law into effect immediately after the final vote, which will give unvaccinated students only 30 days to show they’ve had the first dose of each required vaccination.
The bill won´t change the existing state exemption for children who cannot have vaccines for medical reasons, like a weakened immune system (why children with a well-functioning immune system would “need” vaccines is beyond my comprehension).

Mississippi and West Virginia also do not allow religious exemptions.
California removed belief vaccine exemptions for school children in 2015, after a measles outbreak at Disneyland of 147 people that “spread across the US and into Canada”.
Maine ended its religious exemption earlier this year.

Politicians are working hard to introduce new legislation to eliminate similar vaccine exemptions in the 45 states that still allow parents to refuse vaccines for their school going children, for religious reasons.

Some parents are contemplating to leave the state of New York over this fascist legislation in the “land of the free”: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...asles-religion
