Specifically, the proposal—the Medical Freedom bill—would have given parents the option to exempt children from required vaccinations based on their “conscience.” The state already allows for medical- and religious-based exemptions.
So, this bill wouldn't really change anything. Currently, if a parent wants to avoid vaccinating their child, they can just claim that it goes against their religious beliefs, whatever those are. Enforcing religious norms would go against the First Amendment, so your religious beliefs are whatever you say that they are. This law is based on the honor system.

They probably have family that got measles or something, that's my guess. It only gets to them when they get personally effected.
