'Leave my family out of it': Nurse turned lawmaker gets death threat over controversial vaccine bill
Visitors head up the stairs in the rotunda in the Colorado state Capitol on Thursday in Denver. By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 2 at 7:53 PM Kyle Mullica, a freshman member of Colorado’s House, came into office this past January with a sense of mission.
Mullica, a Democrat who represents a district in the Denver area, said he started looking at options to improve this. This week, a bill he sponsored to tighten vaccination protocols for parents raised hopes among public health groups. It died in the state Senate on Thursday afternoon. The Colorado bill comes amid growing concern about how widely anti-vaccination efforts are spreading around the country. More than 700 people have been sickened by measles this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — the largest number in 25 years. More than 500 of those infected were not vaccinated.
“This is just trying to address the convenience exemption that we see in Colorado,” said O’Leary, who advised proponents of the bill. “It’s still more effort to get your kid vaccinated than to not.”
