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.
As a state legislator, I ask your leadership to restore #CommunityImmunity to our country again, and I will help. Diseases don't recognize state borders. #science #VaccinesWork @AmerMedicalAssn @PublicHealth @AmerAcadPeds @aafp @ACPinternists @Vaxyourfam
Thanks for leading the charge here in California! Hope you continue to serve as an insipiration for us (including me) here in #Sacramento #VaccinesWork
Dr Adams you are wrong about this- get on TV and online today. Ask your predecessor how it’s done. He knew how to do this job.
I strongly disagree, Julie. School entry vaccine policy is set at the state level. Making exemptions harder to get, as California did in 2015, took political will.
This is a weak reply. The US Surgeon General’s office could carry a lot of weight to highlight better public health policy by meeting with state officials, including Governor & head of state health depts. Start in WA.
Dr. Redfield, Your should be in the forefront of advocacy on measles at a critical juncture. Instead you have been silent and nowhere. Peter Hotez is completely correct. If you are uncomfortable leading this work, you should consider leaving it. Nothing can be more important.
How do you plan to counter active misinformation?https://hub.jhu.edu/2018/08/24/russian-trolls-bots-spread-vaccine-misinformation/ …
your boss is an anti-vaxxer. when was the last time you spoke with him about vaccines?
