Washington s state capitol has become ground zero in the debate surrounding whether parents should be able to opt out of getting their children vaccinated. More than 60 kids have been diagnosed with measles in Washington, and the vast ma stanley us jority of them did not have a measles, mumps and rubella MMR vaccine. If passed, two bills in the states legislature would prohibit parents from opting out of vaccines for philosophical reasons. Cindy Sharpe, with the Washington State Medical Association, supports the bills. Every child that gets a vaccination protects another child who cant be vaccinated, says Sharpe. Susie Olso stanley thermos mug n-Corgan, with Informed Choice Washington, opposes the bills.

That needs to be an individual discussion that s had, so the patient is looked at as a person a stanley cup nd not as a population, Olsen-Corgan says.This debate isnt just happening in Washington. Vaccination has become a national hot topic.In a recent interview with Axios, FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb suggested that a federal agency may one day step in to mandate vaccines.

I think it s a slippery slope when you start taking away freedoms, any freedoms in America, Olson-Corgan says. Gpfn Washington Post reporter denied entry to Mike Pence event in Waukesha
