[Hac-announce] Monday's Discussion Meeting on vaccines

[Carol Siddall]

Since we've been told to stay home until April 22 (for now), let's have 
this discussion online! If we like meeting this way, we could meet more 
frequently. I've got more topics up my sleeve (and they don't all have 
this much reading).

Here's the link and a phone number if you don't have a computer. You'll 
need to either use a microphone and speakers or phone in. A webcam is 
optional.

Or by phone at: 716-293-7767 and you'll need this PIN - 25266

Do you think abolishing religious exemptions to vaccines is a good idea? 
Here are some articles on the issue. This one 
(https://journalistsresource.org/studies/society/public-health/child-vaccinations-religious-exemption/) 
is an article about California's experience. This one 
(https://www.ncsl.org/research/health/school-immunization-exemption-state-laws.aspx) 
is a summary of states with exemptions (dated January 2020). This one 
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5141457/) is a scholarly 
article investigating the validity of religious exemption claims. Come 
prepared to share your thoughts and reasoning.

Hope to see you online!
