Washington's measles outbreak spreads
At least 44 people are now infected with the highly contagious and potentially fatal virus, including 32 children under 10 years old. A dozen new cases have been confirmed since Governor Jay Inslee declared a public health emergency last month. Of those infected, 37 were not vaccinated, thanks to exemptions provided by the state of Washington for non-medical vaccination.
Could this lead to forced vaccinations? A bill was introduced last week that would end exemptions for reasons other than medical reasons. In other words, Washington could soon join California, West Virginia and Mississippi, which already have similar laws.
