Let's talk about #vaxlaw & exemptions. I grew up in a state that didn't allow personal belief exemptions, just medical & religious beliefs. Like many other #antivaxxers in that situation, my parents claimed religious exemption.
We weren't particularly religious & our religion wasn't actually #antivax, but my mom explained that that's what she had to say, because our state didn't allow personal belief exemptions. #vaxlaw
I'm sure my parents weren't trying to teach me that it's ok to lie & break the law & use #religion instead of treating it like a sacred doctrine of #faith, but those were the lessons I learned from the experience. It made me feel icky inside. #vaxlaw #parenting
I never said these things to my parents. Kids will learn things from you that you didn't mean to teach them. They will take things to heart that you might never know about. #Parenting is hard.
