绝大多数的医学专家同意为孩子接种疫苗,认为这绝对是件好事，为了自己孩子的健康也为了别人家孩子的健康。

In line with this scientifically-backed thinking, Vermont passed a law earlier this year

在此科学思想的支持下，蒙特利州今年年初通过了一项法律，

that prevents parents from skipping vaccinations² because of “philosophical objections.”

But here’s the loophole: parents can, however, still refuse vaccinations on the basis of “religious beliefs.”

但是这项法律存在漏洞：父母仍然可以根据“宗教信仰”拒绝接种疫苗。
