Arizona lawmakers are pushing vaccine exemption bills

The bills cleared the House's Health and Human Services Committee on a 5-4 GOP-led, party-line vote, and head to the Rules Committee on their way to the floor.HB 2470 adds a religious exemption to the existing law requiring vaccinations, and carries an amendment that would eliminate the requirement for parents to fill out an exemption form that informed them of potential consequences of not vaccinating their children.

Vaccines Fast FactsTinney also worries that HB 2472's antibody test might have the possibility of yielding a"false positive," for instance showing that an individual had been exposed to a pathogen, even though he or she hadn't developed a full long-term immunity.

If your vaccine works so well why would you be worried about non vacc? The only answer is 'because it doesn't'. And you'd be right in thinking that when by their own admission the flu vacc is just TEN PERCENT effective, and furthermore flu vacc people are SPREADING INFECTION.

This is incredibly stupid.

Such a bold step! Herd immunity is for sheeple!

Your photo choice is wierd.

The photo attached🙄

This is not an issue with two equal sides. Why are you supporting the irrational and dangerous one with your photo selection?

Good way to support local (funerary) businesses!

Stay the hell away from Arizona. arizona

JFC! Where do you get these pictures!

VHe maybe could replace that picture with kids dying of measles and mumps in Third World countries

Making it easier for fools to not vaccinate their children is astonishingly irresponsible. They should be looking for ways to increase vaccination rates

Unless a person has an immune system disorder, everyone should be required to be vaccinated. State politicians need to think more about public health threats and less about those who object and have no concern for public health.

Really CNN? I think this image is biased, don't you? so strange that media chooses not to show pictures of children in hospital beds, in ICU on ventilators.

All thst info is on the papers your given when you inoculate your child.

Wtf!

Who are the constituents or lobbyists these legislators are catering to? This bill is NUTS. Do Arizonans actually WANT outbreaks of contagious diseases?

So in effect, this law says that doctors have to say ’this may hurt a bit’ twice now. There is no other ”potential harm”.

Jesus Christ...

Astounding stupidity. Apparently, one major measles outbreak isn’t enough... VaccinateYourKids VaccinesWork antivaxxers are one of the greatest public health threats of our time!

This makes us sad. Vaccines work. So why is this happening today?

Antivaxxers are by definition, mental disease ridden people. Just awful to hear about their condition. Wish there was a vaccine to rid antivaxxers.

OH. MY. GOD. We're going back to the dark ages.

Why are people so stupid.

Ok everyone just skip AZ, the epidemic state.

We live in a world where science isn’t believed, but people’s feelings are ruling their decisions. Willful ignorance is so dangerous.

cecede

Natural selection

Forward Into The Past.

Oh, and why don't you include a picture of a terrified kid getting a vaccination? You know, just for that extra oomph. JFC

That is moving in the opposite direction to protecting our children. What is it with this weird conspiracy that vaccines are bad for you. They save lives.

Am I the only one noticing that the adolescent in the picture is WAY to fucking old to be acting like that about a shot? My (just turned) 5 year old? 4 in a row, both legs at once, nary a tear. Life is going to be hard for you little one, especially if growing up in Arizona now.

AZ against public health. Terrible, absurd.

Ask the parents in Vancouver, Washington about the measles outbreak this year and whether vaccinations are good to have. Arizona is going the wrong way.

Back to the past.

Once a fear-based body of fabricated 'facts' gets traction w/a gullible group of people, RW propaganda machines go into high gear.

🙄 backwater country...

dihoppy I’m fine with this. All these ignorant anti-vaccers will slowly but inexorably remove themselves from the human gene pool.

We should allocate funds for a wall on the northern, eastern, western borders of Arizona

Arizona a quarantine state.

FakeNewsMedia cnnfakenews CNNFakeNews all vaccines do is save lives.

AZ is all about individual choice: do you want your kid to die from bullets fired into the air, or from hideous disease? Freedom!

Thank you Arizona, for endangering the lives of schoolchildren. First, killing newborns, now possibly killing children with diseases that could be prevented.

Omg America come on

Yet another state I won’t move to.

VACCINATE YOUR KIDS AND YOURSELF!!! Old disease epidemics were eliminated for a reason.

Can't wait until a measles outbreak affects Spring Training in a couple of years and MLB has to pull their teams because Arizona anti-vaxxers like NancyBarto don't understand how science and health work.

Is the picture of a girl getting treated for a vaccine preventable disease?

i wonder if this will be like the politically motivated 'abortion harms' legislation that pushes outright lying to vulnerable people.

assbackwards

Why should the world suffer fools that deny the value of vaccines and immunization? Fools that would have polio small pox etc ravish the world. I remember wheel chairs, iron lungs, empty school desks. Idiotic fools

I think Trump’s wall should be built around Arizona. This is a real national emergency in the making.

This country has gone completely off the rails

Vaccine harm? nahhhh !

This is a bad idea .......it worked for 70 years ..now it doesn’t? Playing with fire ..kids will die .....

So glad I fucking don’t live in that state anymore!!!!

Not vaccinating your children from fatal diseases is child abuse. You have no right to endanger the public because you’re an ignorant parent.

How stupid can they be?

Why don’t they synthesize a way to numb the area like mosquitoes do so not only it doesn’t hurt, but you don’t even realize it happened? 🤔🧐

Fine but their should be a state waver so tax payers have no financial liability for the consequences of these parents actions.

Making Americans Die Again?

And we wonder why health care is so expensive. A few years from now the emergency rooms will be packed.

So wrong. Get some real info. Pediatric nurse 30 years. Do I have to switch to MSNBC? This is bullshit. Survey Pediatricians.

Well, they along with all the antivaxxers should be had up for assault if anyone is injured because of their actions. Oh yeah, if anyone dies, they should be tried for manslaughter

Well that seems like an awesome idea after a winter full of measles outbreaks. 🙄

Stop the pharmacide ! Believe moms not pharma ceos all of which are FELONS! phascism

Good grief Arizona what the F is wrong with you !

NONE OF WHICH ARE AUTISM

😑

CNN who?

That’s ok. I’m vaccinated and there’s just too many people in the world so the herd needs to be thinned any way it can.

The stupidity of some people is truly amazing.

VACCINATE YOUR KIDS!
