Jim Gearhart has a lot of sympathy for parents worried about mandatory vaccines.

Protesting parents managed to get the state Senate to punt on a bill that would have removed religious exemptions to vaccine requirements for public school students -- a get-out-of-shots card legislative leaders say was being abused by people with no real religious objections, at the potential peril of herd immunity that protects us all against dangerous diseases.

Medical exemptions, for students with known health complications that prevent them from safely getting vaccines, would not have been affected by the bill.

"There is something that goes against the grain with the government forcing anything on us," Jim says in this week's episode of his weekly Facebook Live show and podcast.
