They are nutjobs. Vaccines do not cause autism and religious exemptions are claimed just so parents can avoid vaccinating their kids.
Despite your belief that vaccines are a bad idea, the fact remains that vaccines have saved millions and millions of lives. Vaccines have eradicated smallpox and polio for example. I guess you think thousands of children in iron lungs are a good idea.
Thankfully, less and less people are buying your line.
