http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/senate-advances-religious-exemptions-for-vaccinations/article_10580acd-7da6-5560-bbdf-cea3c58094a1.htmlCHARLESTON - A bill that would establish religious exemptions from state vaccination requirements passed the Senate Education Committee on Thursday.
Senate Bill 537 would make a simpler process for West Virginians to establish grounds for medical exemptions to vaccinations and would allow them to establish religious exemptions from having to receive vaccinations to attend public or private schools or obtain a job if vaccinations are mandated by their employer.
...
Currently, any student attending a public or private pre-K-12 school in West Virginia must be immunized against chickenpox, hepatitis B, measles, meningitis, mumps, diphtheria, polio, rubella, tetanus and whooping cough.
State law allows for parents and guardians of West Virginia students to get medical exemptions from vaccinations through a defined process. No other means of exemption from vaccinations are available in West Virginia.

Shit was bad.
Kids are going to get killed.
Please wake these people up.
They won't be satisfied until all the prayer in the world does nothing to stop THEIR kids from writhing in pain and dying.

...religious exemptions from having to receive vaccinations to attend public or private schools or obtain a job if vaccinations are mandated by their employer.
Seriously? Health care workers who can be hired without required shots and immunizations?
How stupid is that?
Prayer is not a health care plan, people. It just isn't.
