Whatever happened to this "forced vaccination" bill here in Hawaii?

It was never a bill. It was a resolution that was passed by the county council 7-1 with one council person being absent.

Resolutions have no force of law although every 'whereas' must be a fact and must be provable. Resolutions are sent to the state to be discussed (or not) in committee. We were considering home-rule as a way to protect people who did not want to be vaccinated. This was in response to the Avian bird flu hysteria which never materialized as an epidemic that was going to consume the whole population.

The issue was brought to Emily Naeole's council office by a group of concerned parents who were afraid that their children would be subjected to forced vaccinatios in order to go to school. So we looked into the matter, contacted Dr. Pang and other researchers, who gave testimony on the dangers of vaccines who have been working on this for a long time. They were considered experts and flew to big island at their own expense to testify in front of the council.
