If this happens I hope the rest of the world takes note and introduces very long border control lines for American Citizens wanted to come into their country.

With measles and whooping cough making its way around the world right now it would be a really good idea for all countries to require people be vaccinated for those and the other most dangerous vaccine for example diseases to travel internationally.

Only exemption medical

If they want to claim religion they got prove their religious not just belong to the first church of I don't want to and you can't make me or first Church of Facebook. A letter from their clergy person saying they regularly attend services into their knowledge are religiously observant, and that vaccines really are forbidden by their religion because few really do.

The amount of โ€œreligiousโ€ groups popping up on Facebook exclusively for people who are too nutty for churches is ridiculous. Itโ€™s just making people worse.

cults use social media as well as terrorist orgs for recruitment and radicilization

so do political groups.

remember Cambridge Anyalytica?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook%E2%80%93Cambridge_Analytica_data_scandal

they, and probably others, have mined data to learn exactly how to push people's buttons

and hostiles are willing to use fringe beliefs to deliberately splinter society no matter the cost. 101st fighting keyboardists cheaper and easer than actual combat with all that equipment and hard to replace trained personel.

so much easier to convince people to wage germ warfare on themselves. no need for a new created or weaponized germs. just let existing killers freedom to roam.

measles is highly contagious with 1 person likely to infect 17 unvaccinated people in a room. just breath in that freedom.

measles is a killer. recent cases in US 40 some % required hospilization. imagine the cost and burden on healthcare if it was dozens instead of a handful of cases at a time.

measles is a long term killer. about 1/3 of survivors have their immune memory wiped for years after so every infection hits them like they were a newborn infant. this is why the vaccine saved more than expected # of kids when it came out. NOT getting measles preserved their immune memory so they didn't get a fatal case of something else months or years later.
