Oppose Iowa Legislature Bill HF 2171 That Seeks to Eliminate Vaccine Requirements in Public Schools

I have been reading the public comments on the Iowa Legislature bill HF 2171 that, if passed, would eliminate the requirement for vaccines in public schools against many diseases such as poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, rubeola, rubella, and varicella. People are overwhelmingly opposed to it and it’s beyond me how it got past the first funnel.

I’ve added some photos documenting the history of polio from the University of Iowa Health Care Medical Museum.
