A Fall in Vaccinations, but are anti-vaxxers the villains?

It seems that anti-vaxxers are the next target for tech giant censorship, alongside governments proposing mandatory vaccinations.

But a conversation on last week's BBC Question Time had me thinking. The question was should Vaccinations he mandatory. A Muslim lady in the audience made an interesting point.

She was a health worker and she said her job persuading parents to vaccinate their children was difficult because it wasn't clear if they were allowed under Sharia.

I do wonder if religious ideology will be allowed as an exception from mandatory vaccinations? After all, we know that the religion of peace gets everything it asks for, such is it's protected status.

It's all well and good making anti-vaxxers the villains, but if you are going to allow a growing section of the population to opt out of Vaccinations for religious grounds, you risk the rise of the very diseases that vaccinations are supposed to prevent.
