In response to former Congressman Bill Sali’s comments about child immunization, Rep. Pete Nielsen, R-Mountain Home, questioned a section in Sali’s proposed amendments to SB 1335 that would have parents give a reason why they’re choosing not to immunize their children. “Frankly, the reason I always gave was no thank you - I didn’t feel that there had to be any reason, I just didn’t want it done,” Nielsen said. “Could that be on that statement?” Sali responded that “religious or other grounds” would likely cover Nielsen’s objections. Nielsen responded, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s nobody’s business. … So I’m having great difficulty with this.”
