Vermont Parents Avoid Vaccinating Their Kids

佛蒙特州的家长们反对为孩子接种疫苗

Vaccinating your kids, the vast majority of medical professionals agree, is definitely a good thing to do for their health and the health of everyone else’s kids.

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 vaccinations because of “philosophical objections.”

防止父母以“理念上反对”为由拒绝给孩子接种疫苗。

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。

The Associated Press spoke to a Montpelier couple, Shawn Venner and Aedan Scribner,

美联社采访了蒙彼利埃的一对夫妇，肖恩.文纳和埃丹.斯克里布纳，

who say that people might consider going one step further:

他们称人们正考虑采取进一步措施：

发明新的宗教以维护孩子们拒绝接种疫苗的权利。
