Ayup, and all last measles epidemics hit directly and only in that very bible belt. It used to be epidemics hit big cities, especially those with harbours. Now it hits disconnected rural areas.
No. It’s just that you shouldn’t have to claim religion to get these accommodations. Everybody should have the same rights, regardless of whether they are religious or not. Nobody should get better rights by saying “my religion says”. Nobody should get worse rights, either.

Note the difference between “my religion” vs. “the religion [insert religion here]”.
NONE of the major religions actively oppose vaccination. It’s always the ultra-conservative splinter groups… i.e. the fringe elements.
I think we should just dump religious exemption, period. And those who took philosophical exemptions have to do something to make up for it, much like conscientious objectors being given alternative service options. Like MUCH higher insurance premiums, or lesser coverage on Medicare or something. Deliberately putting oneself at risk of COVID should have consequences apart from risk of COVID itself.
