[quote=Anonymous]It’s really a shame - Mississippi and West Virginia have had a long history of being the only two republican led states to stand firm on no exemptions for childhood vaccines except for medical reasons. The other states are California, Maine, Connecticut, and New York. As an MD who worked in Alabama, there were many public health leaders who were envious of the non partisan support for vaccine mandates in those states, which had similar challenges in terms of health access, poverty, and lack of education. The leaders of West Virginia and Mississippi knew that their citizens were particularly vulnerable to preventable childhood diseases if not for vaccines.

Now, the mandates that have stood for 40-50 years are being dismantled. Mississippi has already struck down a ruling from 1979 to disallow personal or religious exemptions. Despite the efforts of outgoing republican governor Jim Justice to save the mandate, the succeeding republican governor, Patrick morrisey signed an executive order to allow them. West Virginia’s and Mississippi’s positions at the top of the table for rates of childhood vaccination are about to tumble.

Anti vax legislators, who are all republican, do not seem to care about childhood morbidity and mortality due to preventable infections. Perhaps when women get rubella and suffer miscarriages/give birth to deformed, blind, and intellectually disabled children, they will reconsider.

And if you need another reason not to move to Florida, the Florida surgeon general whole heartedly supports a bill to get rid of all childhood vaccination requirements.
