There’s A Measles Outbreak In Washington State. These People Just Protested A Bill That Would Require Them To Vaccinate.

Hundreds of people gathered in Olympia, Washington to protest a bill that would require them to vaccinate their children against measles.

In other words, these people demanded their “right” to decide whether to protect their own children from a highly contagious disease. There is currently a measles outbreak in Washington State, with more than 50 cases currently being treated, according to CBS news. State lawmakers proposed a bill that would remove the ability for parents to decide not to vaccinate their children due to philosophical concerns. CBS reports that 32 other states already have such laws.
