you're watching "today in the bay." medical experts are scrambling to inform parents about the values of vaccinations. there is a political side as well. lay the foundation for us, the ground work. what's the connection here? it is a classic, vicky, because it is about the rights of the citizens versus the proper role of the government. that's it. california is one of 20 states that allow parents to exempt their children from vaccinations on the basis of personal beliefs or religious values. last year, about 13,000 exemptions were granted, 80% for personal beliefs. they are very dramatic. 2% of the children in alameda county to more than 8% of the children in santa cruz county. this is data that comes from the department of public health.

>> four times as many kids are not is vaccinated in places like santa clara county. people who have personal or religious beliefs ta vaccinations are harmful. some are saying that it can cause autism. the overwhelming data from the medical community and the government and the general consensus among doctors is that vaccines are safe and that they save lives. at the end of the day, why shouldn't it be up to parents to decide what is best? >> those who choose not to v vaccinate claim that parents have the right to rely on what is right for their children. they rely on a study that falsely connected measles to vaccinations. >> it is understandable, we live in a country that prides itself on individual freedoms and the

rights to choose. is there an argument for vaccinating and the government's rule in protecting health? >> yes, there is. they make the argument from the standpoint of the greater good, it is imperative. not vaccinating children threatens not only their well-being but the health around them. just as the state has a right too establish water quality standards or anti-pollution laws in the name of public health. these folks say the state has the right to protect people from contracting deadly diseases such as measles, mumps. it focuses on the rights of the individual and the rights of the state. >> this measles outbreak, we are into the triple digits nationwide. several cases, nearly two dozen here in california. it is continuing to grow. it has prompted legislative action here in california.

what is the latest? >> it is a hot topic. state senator has authored a bill that would limit vaccination exemptions only for religious belief. that would reduce by 80% but this seems like a done deal. opponents are outraged over  this. they are going to scream that the law is an invasion of privacy, something the government has no right to do. their argument will be countered that those who claim the most important job for government is to protect people from unnecessary harm. it's a classic debate about the role of government. >> right now, you are allowed in california to claim a personal exemption or a religious belief exemption from vaccinating your child. if this were to pass, only exemptions for religious reasons. >> mississippi and west virginia

are the only ones who say only for religious purposes. california would then become the third. >> larry gerston, thank you as always for your time this morning. stay with us. we're back in two minltutes. lotto fever. we will tell you the numbers that will make you a millionaire. i wish we could tell you those. we are going to talk to you about the potential for lightning and thunder and severe threats as we head through the afternoon hours. we are going to detail all of that threat coming up after this. we live in a pick and choose world.
