Vaccine Mandate Won’t Pass in Wisconsin

Excellent.

In January two Democratic senators announced bipartisan support for a proposed bill that would require all sixth-grade girls to be vaccinated against the virus that causes cervical cancer.

But since then, social conservatives and medical groups have opposed the mandate, some Republican cosponsors have withdrawn their support and the chairwoman of the Assembly health committee has declared the proposal dead on arrival in that chamber.

“If the legislation comes before my committee, it’s not going anywhere,” said Rep. Leah Vukmir, R-Milwaukee, the Assembly health committee chairwoman.

Thank goodness that the Assembly still has people like Leah Vukmir in it.
