WA worst in vaccinations

You’ve already seen it on Slog, but I would just like to express my dismay at Washington having the greatest percentage of vaccination exemptions (6.2%) including non-medical exemptions (5.8% of all children). Those latter ones are the ones done for no reason — not because the child’s immune system precludes it.

The report.

I don’t know the reason for such high numbers of exemptions in this state. But if it’s because of the unsubstantiated belief that there’s a link between vaccination and autism, which was peddled by a fraud, then way to cower to unscientific bullshit, Washington!

What say you?
