Arizona governor OK’s ban on school COVID-19 vaccines

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona’s Republican governor has signed legislation that will prevent state health officials from ever adding a COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required school inoculations and bar face mask mandates in any buildings operated by state or local governments.

The two coronavirus bills signed by Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday would permanently block disease mitigation measures that health professionals say are critical to reining in the coronavirus pandemic if case counts again surge or the virus mutates and becomes more deadly to children.

The ban on face masks in libraries, courthouses and other public buildings could also affect efforts to stem the spread of a new airborne illness. Ducey’s office released no comment from the governor when it announced late Friday afternoon that he had signed the two bills along with 18 others.

He did tout the signing of legislation requiring public K-12 schools to devote a portion of the school day each Sept. 11 to teach about the terror attacks that struck the nation in 2001, and a bill that forbids insurance companies from considering a dog’s breed when reviewing homeowner’s insurance applications.

1. I had to read this subject/headline twice

Governors like this are a public health hazard.

Has he not looked at a map of what Covid is doing right now?

It boggles my mind that anyone could be this ignorant.

Now the GQP has injected a political filter into healthcare we can expect more death and suffering as a result. FreeDumb and FreeDumber.

8. The state legislatures that pass this kind of garbage are even bigger public health hazards.

Douchey can't sign this idiotic ban if the bill wasn't put in front of him in the first place. The Arizona state legislature has long been an insane asylum that is being run by the inmates. They're worse than the Governor in the "ignorant and crazy" department. The map is irrelevant to them.

4. The GOP has become a straight up death cult

why not make lead weights required for all swimmers at public pools, or all elevator cables must be made from twisted together toilet paper. Or no govt entity may specify which side of the road to drive on because freedom? These people are evil.
