Councilman Questions Vaccinations

Three days after the Spokane Regional Health District asked every adult and child in the region to get vaccinated against measles, health board member and Spokane City Councilman Mike Fagan questioned the use of vaccines and said recent outbreaks of contagious disease are linked to illegal immigration. “LOTS OF CONTROVERSY ON WHETHER OR NOT GOVT SHOULD MAKE VACCINATIONS MANDATORY,” Fagan wrote Saturday on his personal Facebook page, where he has more than 1,000 friends. “I believe that more will rise to the surface as the vaccination debate heats up. Kind of like the global warming thing, one day there is, and another day there isn’t. Only science will tell.” On his page, Fagan, who has been clear in his skepticism of climate science for years, posted an article from PubMed.gov that purportedly showed a link between the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism in African-American males/ Nicholas Deshaies , SR.
