Governors in California, Oregon and Washington said their states would work together on vaccine guidance in a time of turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
California, Oregon and Washington announced plans on Wednesday to form a “health alliance” that would coordinate vaccine recommendations for the three states at a time of unparalleled turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal agency responsible for issuing vaccine guidance for the country.
The alliance is intended to provide residents with scientific data about vaccine safety and efficacy, and to issue guidance on vaccines for respiratory illnesses like Covid and the flu, as well as an array of childhood immunizations.
In a joint statement, governors of the three states said that the C.D.C. had become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science, ideology that will lead to severe health consequences.” The agency has lost thousands of employees since January, most recently its director.
The governors said the new alliance would protect against what they called the “politicization of science” by helping families, medical providers and vaccine manufacturers plan for the future using “consistent, science-based recommendations they can rely on — regardless of shifting federal actions.”
The announcement did not address an array of brewing questions. Among them: whether health insurance plans would cover the cost of vaccines that were recommended by states but not by the federal government; whether primary care doctors and pharmacies could face repercussions for providing them; and whether states may continue to require certain vaccinations if they are no longer recommended by the C.D.C.
Western states formed a similar working group during the peak of the Covid pandemic to boost public confidence in vaccines. States in the Northeast...

mRNA is not a vaccine.
Death States...killing fields.
We’ve got to remember this. We the People need to destroy everything the far left lesbos, trannies and fags try to accomplish when they retake the country. I mean totally tear this country they are building down and leave it in ashes.
Pretty sure the states cannot supersede a federal agency in this matter. Funny how these clowns are all about state’s rights when it suits them.
A new embrace of federalism!
California’s draconian shot requirements got my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to move from Santa Clarita, CA to Oklahoma. He’s a metallurgist. the kind of guy who would be useful in a civilizational breakdown scenario.
The courts and many states are slow-rolling this administration at least until November 2026.
bttt
Great let the states do it. Then the people can sue Big Pharma for a non-approved vax.
Getting rid of those three is a good way to maintain an even number of 50 states after Yukon, Sas and Alberta join.
I can’t understand why the Left still is so politically invested in mRNA vaccines
The Covid fear already peaked 4 years ago. Americans aren’t taking the Covid vax, so its already a political loser. Moreover, RFK’s NIH/CDC has already begun to end money for mRNA.
So why do these woke urban lefties have such arousal over proting mRNA vaccines?
Control over people is the real goal.
So you can now sue the be-phooookin-jee-beeeebies out any State that mandates it.
They don’t get immunity.
I suspect that "recommendations" will quickly become mandatory if you want to keep your job in these three states.
And of course Washington, California, Oregon, New York, Vermont, and Colorado, let you compost your body after death to be transformed into nutrient-rich soil for environmental use.
Our communist friends banding together to kill more people.
Sadly, there will be several thousand believing this BS.
I don’t approve of Yukon, Sas and Alberta joining the US, but if we could swap for CA, OR & WA, it would be a huge win.
At least the provinces aren’t full commie yet like the three states.
Nah, just disenfranchise the blue coastal counties and "sanctuary cities" due to illegal alien election fraud. And they should yank all their federal funding while they're at it.
We should keep all the rural counties. They're good people.
Interstate pacts are illegal without the consent of Congress.
The leftist governors said they want to help families....The politicians are concerned about our safety! They care!
Geezzuz...People are still buying what these corrupt misfits are peddling? Hard to believe.
