"The science is clear: Vaccines are safe and efficacious."
Nothing is 100% safe. So when they say something like this, it's pretty scary. I don't think it's causing autism, but some people do have ill effects due to vaccines.

Let's continue down that path. Since nothing is 100% safe, we ought to choose the most safe option. And since we're talking about government policy here, it's not about what's safest for your kids, but what's safest for everyone. So what's safer, vaccines, or measles?
I think rlpb had it right elsewhere in thread - this is about a tragedy of the commons. Anti-vaxxers don't want to ban vaccines, they want to be the only ones not taking them.
This isn't the point. The point is that from this ruling, a person would assume that it's completely safe with no chance of any ill effects. I've even seen a few posts saying that any ill effects are "old wives tales".
Here is a good list:

From the CDC, which is a good source. Some of these could cause serious problems.

Who said anything about anti-vaxxers?
If people in this world are foolish enough to believe that the things Dr. OZ talks about on his show will cure something (I watched the show many times and he has never actually said this), this ruling is pretty dangerous.
A piece of legislation that hasn't even passed yet is not the same thing as a court ruling.
I guess you missed this part?
No.
It is a bill that passed in the Senate. It still has to pass in the Assembly to become law.
Not a court ruling and not yet a law.
It almost makes me wonder if the drug companies are behind many of these laws.
I am also unaware of a "vaxxor movement."
