BY AVERY ANAPOL - 03/01/19 09:35 AM EST
State Rep. Kelly Townsend (R), in a lengthy Facebook post on Thursday, warned that measles outbreaks are going to result in Arizonans having to give up our liberty, the very sovereignty of our body.
I read yesterday that the idea is being floated that if not enough people get vaccinated, then we are going to force them to, she wrote. The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather, Communist.
The post came as Gov. Doug Ducey (R) said the state is pro-vaccination and said he would not sign any bills that expanded vaccine exemptions passed by the states House Health and Human Services Committee.
That proposed policy change comes amid multiple measles outbreaks and reported cases in at least 10 states.
Townsend claimed that her daughter has been injured by vaccines and urged Arizonans to educate their families about the fundamentals of liberty.
Townsend signed her Facebook post: Live free or die.

(28,078 posts)we have a state Representative (Bill Zedler, Republican) who is pushing legislation to allow people to opt out of vaccines who says
They want to say people are dying of measles. Yeah, in Third World countries theyre dying of measles, Zedler said, the Texas Observer reports. Today, with antibiotics and that kind of stuff, theyre not dying in America.
No word if anyone has explained to Zedler that measles is a virus.
