"2,500 Children Could Die" — Doctor's Powerful Testimony Against Arizona HCR 2056

Описание: 🏛️ Dr. Zaid Fadul, a family physician, Air Force flight surgeon, and father of four, testifies before the Arizona House Health & Human Services Committee on behalf of the Maricopa County Medical Society (MCMS) in opposition to HCR 2056 — a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish a fundamental right to refuse medical mandates in Arizona.

In this powerful testimony, Dr. Fadul breaks down why this bill could handcuff public health officials during emergencies like the current measles outbreak sweeping the nation. With nearly 1,000 measles cases already reported in 2026 and the U.S. on track to lose its measles elimination status, the stakes couldn't be higher.
