In January, Representative John D. Keenan of Salem, Massachusetts introduced a bill to allow students not immunized to be admitted to schools upon the written request of a parent. After all, if vaccines are effective, then those who take them are protected from those who don't.

PermalinkUnsurprising Poll Results from Massachusetts: Voters Think Obama Sides With the Banks
