We need to consider every vaccine as an experiment since the whole vaccine schedule has never been tested on children in a long-term, organized way. Additionally, the new law in California states that new vaccines can be added into the schedule, and then required for “any other disease deemed appropriate by the department, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.” In other words, the number of vaccines required under SB277 may look very different in years to come than it does today.
2. This new law is discriminatory. There are people who can afford to move from California or home school to avoid forced vaccination. But for most, neither of these are options. The law disproportionately affects those who are economically disadvantaged.
3. There are financial conflicts of interest behind the genesis of this law. It is no secret that pharmaceutical companies, the very companies who stand to benefit financially from vaccination policies, have lobbied the California legislature heavily. Pharmaceutical companies and the trade organizations representing them have made contributions to the campaigns of legislators who, in turn, support their efforts to give our children more vaccines.2 Couple this with the fact that pharmaceutical companies and the doctors who administer vaccines cannot be sued for bad outcomes due to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986,3 and the blatant corruption is impossible to ignore.
I encourage everyone to fight this latest assault on our health freedom and health choices. Our liberty and our lives are at stake. Whether you wish to accept or decline vaccines, we need to maintain freedom of choice. I urge everyone to contact their state legislators and their senators and congressmen to express their views. Now that that SB277 is law in California, it is only a matter of time before a similar bill will come to your state.

Written by Janet Levatin, MD
Dr. Janet is a pediatrician and homeopathic physician who was in private practice in the Boston, Massachusetts area for almost 25 years prior to joining our center.
Dr. Levatin attended college at the University or Rochester (NY), and medical school at George Washington University School of Medicine. She completed a pediatric internship and residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1986.
Throughout her training Dr. Janet disagreed with much of what she observed in conventional medical practice, including overuse of medications, unwholesome hospital nutrition, and virtually nonexistent methods for true prevention and health promotion. Since seeing more than one case of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) after infant vaccination in the 1980s, she has been an outspoken physician against the over-vaccination of children.
Over time Dr. Janet researched the use of midwifery/home birth, chiropractic, oriental and herbal medicine, and nutrition to promote the health of children. Ultimately she settled on homeopathy as her primary treatment modality. She received much of her homeopathic training through Luminos Homeopathic Courses, Ltd., one of the world’s premier homeopathy training programs, and has been certified as a Homeopathic Master Clinician for over 10 years. Dr. Janet also incorporates herbs, common-sense nutrition, and supplements into her therapeutic regimens.
Dr. Levatin is spectacular. I am so happy that we have found a real doctor for my grandson. I know that he is getting truly good care and that they are line with our beliefs and wishes. I am going to make an appointment for myself soon. Thank you Dr. Levatin.” ~ Grandparent of Adam Khatib
