CO HB19-1312 School Immunization Requirements

[BladesNBarrels]

Just tuned in.
I don't know when vaccinations to go to school became optional.
In the 50's when I was in "grade school" in Salt Lake City, the whole school population was part of the testing of the Polio Vaccine.
Half the population were vaccinated with the vaccine, and half were the test group that got a vaccination, but without the vaccine.
The next year after the vaccine was accepted, the group in the test group got vaccinated again with the real vaccine (Yep, I was one of those.)
There wasn't a choice, other than leaving, that I was allowed.
And yeah, after mandatory vaccinations of all school kids, Polio disappeared for a long time.

That's one of the ones coming back now in a slight different form (posted some of this info on page 6 from a different source)...

Strikes me as completely ridiculous that we imposed the risks of an intervention (vaccine) on children*, to eradicate a disease, only to have open borders globalism resurrect that disease. What was the cost and risk for?

Yes, this may not be the Polio we knew, but it might be an evolution of the Polio we would have known without vaccination and we're seeing anyway. TB is the same animal from my understanding.



* at the time we had no idea what the long term risks would be, like just about anything that takes time to study.

Democrat votes, of course.

Well I'm pretty sure Boulder moms killed this bill. Seems to be a contradiction in their ideology.

The Dems aren't listening to the freedom crowd and frankly don't need any GOP support. Given that the bill had a GOP sponsor, the support must have been so weak that is mitigated any "bipartisan" support.
