I couldn't get my kid into daycare or preschool without proof of an MMR vaccination , how did these parents pull it off?

My information may be outdated, but Ohio Revised Code had a provision that allowed a parent to opt out of mandatory vaccinations, if the parent/guardian claimed a 'medical, religious, or philosophical exemption'.

Religion wants to be part of this then religion needs to start paying taxes

Never mind that there are hardly any religions that actually forbid vaccinations or bathing or any other standard medical practices.

Also stop imposing their beliefs on children. If they're not old enough to choose for themselves, then they are not of a religion.

..sooo that kid can do whatever they want in life and they’ll go to heaven?

What about this 4 yr old, if he dies will he go to heaven? He wasn’t dunked yet.

I love religious rules.
