西弗吉尼亚州州长因允许学校免疫规则的宗教豁免而面临强烈反对。 West Virginia Governor faces backlash for allowing religious exemptions to school vaccination rules.

西弗吉尼亚州州长帕特里克·莫里西(Patrick Morrisey)因其行政命令允许学校疫苗接种的宗教和道德豁免而面临批评,尽管州法律只允许医疗豁免。 West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey faces criticism for his executive order allowing religious and moral exemptions to school vaccinations, despite state law only permitting medical exemptions. 该命令于1月签署,遇到了争议和法律挑战。 The order, signed in January, was met with controversy and legal challenges. 一位舆论作家Kercheval认为,Morrisey越权了,指出立法机构没有修改法律,《宗教平等保护法》没有授权省长作出这种修改。 Kercheval, an opinion writer, argues that Morrisey overstepped his authority, noting the legislature did not change the law and the Equal Protection for Religion Act does not empower governors to make such changes. Morrisey的指令指示各州尊重宗教豁免,尽管强制性接种法没有改变。 Morrisey's directive instructs counties to honor religious exemptions, though the compulsory vaccination law remains unchanged.
