I don't think it's far fetched.
My wife caught chicken pox as an adult because Fort Worth's school district used to allow parents to get religious waivers for vaccinations super easy. Well, after a mini-outbreak of chicken pox in a couple schools the waivers became tougher to get.
My wife was substitute teaching at the time and that's how we learned about how easy the waivers were to obtain. After some substantial bitching about the lost wages and the mini-outbreak, the waiver policy changed within a school year (apparently we weren't the only ones bitching).
Shit pissed me off that assholes were sending their unvaccinated kids to school because they're ****ing morons and didn't believe in vaccines or believed shit like BigDaddy.
