If I was @CDCDirector or @Surgeon_General I would prevent future #measles epidemics in WA-OR by meeting with lawmakers to educate them on why they must close hateful anti-child #vaccine exemptions. I would then fly to the 16 other states allowing similar exemptions to do the samehttps://twitter.com/CDCDirector/status/1054399487198801921 …
Dr. Redfield and I, along with @SGottliebFDA @HHS_ASH and all of @HHSGov educate about vaccine safety and efficacy whenever we can. But most of opposition / opt out discussions are at local/ state levels, not national . We ALL must do our part to educate. #VaccinesWork
As a former state health officer I can tell you most politicians believe in vaccinations, but also respond to constituents. When scores of people against vaccines call / visit legislators descend on the Statehouse, and few to none show up to defend vaccines, this is what you get.
I pledge to keep fighting but can’t be everywhere, & also don’t carry the same weight with your local legislators that YOU do. So when you wonder why so many states have opt opts, also ask yourself when was last time you / colleagues spoke w your local legislators on vaccines.
Large #measles outbreaks in #Washington & #NewYork + several others in unvaccinated communities. @WHO declared vaccine hesitancy a global health threat; @GovInslee declared state emergency. @Surgeon_General declare national #PublicHealth crisis. #VaccinesWork #PutKids1st
