American Medical QUACK Doctors at AAP want to end religious vaccine exemptions for all children because SICK VAXXED KIDS are their CASH COWS

The Vaccine Industrial Complex wants to eliminate any excuses for anyone not getting depopulation jabs, especially during their plandemics. Case in point: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued a new policy statement calling for the elimination of religious and philosophical vaccine exemptions for children attending daycare and school in the United States. Published in Pediatrics, the AAP’s stance emphasizes that only legitimate medical exemptions should be permitted, citing the need to maintain safe school environments and high immunization rates. The organization argues that allowing nonmedical exemptions undermines public health and contributes to declining vaccination rates nationwide.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has called for the elimination of religious and philosophical vaccine exemptions for school and daycare attendance, arguing that only medically necessary exemptions should be allowed to protect public health.
  • The AAP’s updated policy statement cites concerns over declining vaccination rates and emphasizes that nonmedical exemptions undermine community immunity; currently, 45 U.S. states allow religious exemptions, and 15 allow philosophical ones.
  • Critics, including legal and medical professionals, argue the move violates constitutional religious freedoms and parental rights, referencing the U.S. Supreme Court's 2025 Mahmoud v. Taylor ruling affirming strict scrutiny for policies infringing on religious beliefs.
  • Public opinion is shifting: a 2025 survey shows support for religious exemptions has nearly doubled since 2019, while the AAP’s stance has reignited debates over informed consent, vaccine safety, and trust in public health institutions.

American Academy of Pediatrics Wants to Shut Down Religious Vaccine Exemptions

Dr. Jesse Hackell, the statement's lead author, asserted that participation in public education should be contingent on vaccination, equating the refusal to vaccinate with voluntary exclusion from those settings. While acknowledging that barring unvaccinated children from school presents challenges, he argued that ensuring public health and safety outweighs those concerns. Currently, all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico require vaccination to attend school or daycare, with medical exemptions universally recognized. However, 45 states allow religious exemptions, and 15 permit philosophical or conscientious objections. Only five states—California, Connecticut, Maine, New York, and West Virginia—have eliminated nonmedical exemptions. Massachusetts is now considering similar legislation. The AAP states that medical exemptions, such as severe allergies or immune system disorders, do not significantly impact overall vaccination coverage. By contrast, broad allowances for religious or personal belief exemptions do, contributing to decreased immunization rates. Critics argue that the AAP’s proposal infringes on constitutionally protected religious freedoms. Kim Mack Rosenberg, general counsel for Children’s Health Defense, contends that the policy would effectively discriminate against religious families. She emphasized that compelling families to choose between education and religious values violates their rights. Dr. Michelle Perro, a pediatrician and author, defended the continued need for religious and philosophical exemptions. She cited ethical concerns over vaccine ingredients derived from aborted fetal cell lines and highlighted potential health risks from vaccine adjuvants such as aluminum and polysorbate 80. Perro also criticized the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for shielding vaccine manufacturers from liability, leaving families without legal recourse. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. echoed these concerns in a social media post, pledging to reform the VICP and ensure it fairly compensates vaccine-injured individuals. The AAP referenced historical court rulings to justify mandatory vaccination, including cases from 1905, 1922, and 1944. However, civil rights attorney Sujata Gibson pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2025 Mahmoud v. Taylor decision, which reaffirmed the fundamental right of parents to raise children according to their religious beliefs. Under this ruling, any government policy infringing on those rights must pass strict scrutiny—a standard the AAP’s proposed policy may fail to meet. Public support for religious exemptions has grown in recent years. A 2025 Annenberg Public Policy Center survey showed support doubling since 2019, with 39% of Americans now backing religious exemptions and only 52% supporting mandatory vaccination for school attendance. The AAP acknowledged that no major world religions explicitly forbid vaccination but admitted that many individuals hold sincere beliefs rooted in independent or nontraditional religious interpretations. Still, the organization deemed such claims too complex to interpret effectively in public policy, maintaining that public health must take precedence.
