Senate File 99: An Anti-Vaxxer's Dream

Senate File 99, “an act relating to immunization information requested on a medical examiner investigation form,” is an anti-vax dream. This bill would require medical examiners to document recent vaccination history every time they investigate the death of a child age 0-3. 

The CDC recommends that every child receive ten different vaccinations — sometimes multiple doses — before age three. Literally every child age 0-3 who dies will have multiple recent vaccines in their medical records — and all that information will go into a publically available spreadsheet. Every vaccine conspiracist out there will gleefully point to that list and say, “all those innocent children were given vaccines, and then they died!

You all know which fallacy that is, right? T

his bill is a gift to the purveyors of ignorance and science denial. Contact you legislators and tell them to vote no on Senate File 99
