Raise Arizona& nbsp; is a fiction film. Increasing vaccination rates in Arizona is a necessary thing for real. So what do you think the state legislature of Arizona should do?
Before answering this question, here is a reminder of what is happening outside of Arizona. The number of cases relating to the measles outbreak in Washington is now 65 years old. The Washington State legislature is currently considering two new bills that would remove parents the option of not being vaccinated against vaccination. "philosophical" reasons. In Madagascar, since last September, more than 900 people have died as a result of a measles epidemic due to low rates of measles immunization.
With all this under consideration, here's the question again: what do you think the Arizona legislature should do? What would you say to three bills that would broaden the vaccine exemption categories and make it easier to obtain a vaccine exemption by removing the current requirement for parents to sign a Ministry of Health form, as reported by Stephanie Innes for the Arizona Republic?
Huh? & Nbsp; The Grand Canyon is perhaps not the only big moat in Arizona. Pushing these three bills would seem to be a & nbsp; huge gap between what is done and what is really needed. Washington State has had to declare an emergency situation across the country and has already spent more than $ 1 million in taxpayers' money to deal with the measles epidemic. All scientific evidence suggests that lower vaccination rates in Clark County, Washington State, led to the outbreak. As a result, in Washington, the focus has been on the need to increase vaccination rates.
One would think that other states, like Arizona, would learn from the example of Washington and look for ways to increase vaccination rates. After all, nothing else, no supplement, no special diet, no homeopathic remedy or chiropractic maneuver is close to the vaccine to prevent outbreaks of measles and measles. You can look far, wide and on Facebook and you will not find anything else to replace the vaccine. It's apparently what a mother was doing when she asked & nbsp;the "Natural Health Anti-Vaxx"& Nbsp; Facebook & nbsp; group the question presented in the following tweet:

In addition to all that, Arizona could have the lowest vaccination rate in the country against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), with 84.1%, according to a poll of & nbsp; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) & nbsp;like Claire Cleveland and Jessi Schultz have reported for the& nbsp;Cronkite News Service. & nbsp; Such a rate would be well below the critical 95% vaccination threshold needed to prevent the measles virus from spreading more easily in a population. as I described previously for Forbes. & nbsp;
Nevertheless, Nancy K. Barto, a Republican member of the Arizona House of Representatives, sponsored House Bills 2470, 2471 and 2472 that could end further reduction of vaccination rates in Arizona. & nbsp;Paul Boyer, a Republican member of the Arizona Senate, co-sponsored the three bills, which were voted by the Arizona House Health and Social Services Committee on Thursday, by 5 votes to 4. The five members of the House of Commons committee voting for the bills were Republicans and all four voting against were Democrats. If the vote in the general legislature (where Republicans hold the majority in the Senate and House) follows similar party lines, the trio of bills is likely to be passed.
Bill 2470& nbsp; essentially, it would be easier to obtain a vaccine exemption by amending the current wording of the applicable law in Arizona. This will certainly not help to increase vaccination rates and may reduce them, which will further aggravate the problem of low immunization coverage and the risk of epidemics. This is exactly the opposite of what is contemplated in the Washington State legislature, as described in this news segment of KING 5:
Speaking of problems that worsen. Doctors are already overloaded with paperwork, expenses, & nbsp;based on a study that I've covered for Forbesabout two-thirds of their valuable time stirring and filling forms. Well, doctors in Arizona, get ready for a potential paperwork. & Nbsp;Bill 2471& nbsp; ask doctors and other health professionals to provide more information on vaccines, beyond what they already provide, before administering a vaccine. Legitimate scientific and health organizations, such as the National Library of Medicine, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the CDC, and the World Health Organization, already provide a plethora of medical services. information on vaccines. allows you to access this information. & nbsp; In addition, you can always ask your doctor or pharmacist for this information if you wish. Requiring that your doctor provide additional information routinely will create more paperwork and potentially more waste.
In addition, why make this vaccination requirement an intervention that has a lot of scientific evidence for its effectiveness and safety and not other health interventions? For example, a New England Journal of Medicine study It is estimated that approximately 23,000 emergency departments occur each year in the United States due to adverse events related to dietary supplements. As I wrote previously for Forbes, studies have found unapproved ingredients in a number of different supplements.
Bill 2472& nbsp; also has the potential to add more problems. This bill wants to give patients the opportunity to undergo an antibody titration test to verify their immunity prior to the administration of a vaccine. The problem is that antibody tests are certainly not perfect measures of immunity. They are just testing what may be in your blood that day and not in the future. False positives are possible, especially for rare diseases because others have been vaccinated. For example, other viruses can lead to a positive IgM test for rubella. False negatives are also possible. & Nbsp; Your test may be negative, even if you are protected. Then there is the cost of these additional tests.
If vaccination rates remain unchanged on the basis of the CDC survey or, worse, even lower, Arizona could very well result from what is currently happening in Washington. And as often with movies, the sequel could be worse.
