"We've seen just in the last 3 years, that the number of people who are applying for and getting religious exemptions has doubled--just in 3 years."

"If we want to protect the vulnerable, like Dr. Jacks' children, then immunization needs to take place to do that."

"Here's a pretty stunning one from 2006. In States that had higher bars for exemptions, they were 50 percent less likely to have whooping cough outbreaks."

"We have to decide, as a community, do we want to protect the most vulnerable among us, or do we want to provide choices and options for protection?"
