Doctors descend on the Capitol to oppose making vaccination opt-outs easier

Bill opposed by medical groups; supported by parental rights, “anti-vaxx” groups

To the dismay of the medical community and the delight of Alex Jones fans, the House Public Health Committee held a hearing today on a bill aimed at making it a whole lot easier for parents to opt out of vaccinating their children.

House Bill 1124 by Rep. Matt Krause, R-Fort Worth, would strip the current requirement that parents file an affidavit to obtain a vaccine exemption.

Parents would simply be able to print a blank vaccine exemption form on school district or the Department of State Health Services websites and fill it out.
