Earlier this week, the representatives took a bill to eliminate the requirements of the vaccine for public virtual schools and expanded that also eliminated state vaccine requirements for private and parocial schools in West Virginia.
Today, the representatives again voted to expand the bill – amending the parents to allow parents to allow their children to get out of vaccination requirements in any school in the state.

“For people across our state who have a religious belief that objects to these vaccines, this is the appropriate way to do these people, to implement the US Constitution and West Virginia the Constitution equally,” Delegate Todd Kirby, R-Relle, sponsor said that the sponsor of the revision said that is going on for the circuit judge.
The amendment was adopted on 58-37 votes after an hour-long debate on Friday afternoon. There will be a passed vote in the next House for the bill.
The House Bill was first introduced as 5105, the education system had only one operative line to change the state law related to vaccination requirements: “Any child will be exempted from the requirements of this article to virtual schools, virtual schools.”
Now it has been widened twice.
Shortly after the latest step, Kanwa-Charluston Health Department distributed a written opinion by Health Officer Steven Ashnaur.
“If you are anti-optimization, you are a supporter. Its as simple as that. If you are opposed to, you want to weaken or eliminate the laws that protect all our children. There is no other way to see it, ”Ashenore wrote.
“Speak, West Virginian, and tell our MLAs what I say to politicians for polio.” This sound avoids argument as to why no one would want to weaken childhood vaccination laws. ,
The prevailing side of Friday’s argument on the house floor strengthened religious beliefs in vaccination decisions, citing some vaccine development using fetal tissue in development.
“We need to protect religious freedom in our kingdom,” said the representative Chris Pret, R-Kanwa, who is running for the state Senate. “Mountaineers are always independent where it comes to religious freedom.”

Other representatives argued against the inauguration, saying that society is safe from disease when there is widespread protection against the spread of the disease through vaccines.

“We have law because we have only vaccines that provide public health protection if most people are vaccinated,” said D-Mongalia, D-Monongalia.
“You are not just protecting your child by deciding to vaccinate. You are protecting your neighbors. You are protecting your grandparents. You are protecting other children who are immunocomomized and are not able to take the vaccine. So there is a reason. ,
So far, the West Virginia Department of Education claims that the most effective school-entry vaccine in the country is one of the lawsable laws to be stopped: “Vaccination laws have proved to improve attendance rates for students and employees, while children are healthy, safe and ready to learn.”
For the first time, students from West Virginia, who enter the school, should show evidence of vaccination against diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, polio, measles, kanthamala, rubella, varichela, and hepatitis B unless proper exemption is given unless properly.
Khasare has recently seen a revival in the news with the status of a primary school in Florida, which experiences measles cases among six students.

Delegate Brandon Steel, R-Railley, recently cited a journey, which he asked for a visit to Virginia that he did not see with his eyes, who was suffering from communicative disease.
“Let me tell you that what I did not see was seen in hospitals filled with measles and kanthamala children,” Steel said. “Or children are lying on the streets surrounded by polio.”
Mike horby
Delegate Mike Horbby, R-Barkle, talked about his early years in Zimbabwe as he argued against opening the vaccination exemption even more.
“I grew up in a third world country, and I have seen polio for the first time,” he said. “The way it is with a global journey and with recent outbreaks of measles in states and polio in other states, I don’t think it’s the right time not to vaccinate our children.”
