Article sadly shows how partisan vaccination policy can--but shouldn't--be. CO bill will simply req parents wanting to opt-out to get signed doc from a med. professional or watch online vid. Yet GOP Sen. cites concerns. This is literally informed choice.https://www.cpr.org/2020/02/03/gov-polis-says-hell-back-new-regulations-for-vaccination-opt-outs/ …

Well, yes. I call those antivaccine dog whistles and have been writing about them for at least five years, when they became particularly prevalent during the push to pass SB 277 in California.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/01/23/dr-bob-sears-perfecting-the-art-of-the-antivaccine-dog-whistle/ …
