re: #361 Dark_Falcon

I’d not want that last. My own read is that the current SCOTUS would overrule the law you propose. I doubt it would be 5-4 either, as I can see Justices Breyer and Sotomayor voting to overturn on religious freedom grounds. The law’s only real defenders would be Justices Kagan and Ginsburg.

And even if the law was approved, its passage might well result in the situation seen in Pakistan, with those giving vaccinations in fundamentalist communities simply simply shot dead from ambush as “agent of Satan”. That happens and the government would have to use the sorts of “iron fist” solutions that no one in America likes.

I think a LOT more would have to happen in this country besides passage of a law like that before fundies start shooting because of vaccinations. Like total social breakdown. Not gonna happen.
