committee had about this bill. One senator actually
referred to the bill as “Draconian”. The committee
chair, Senator Carol Lu, advised Pan and his coauthor Senator Allen, not to take a vote and granted
him another week to work on the bill. Instead of
saying Thank you and moving on, they turned to
consult with and get advice from two lobbyists at
the hearing. Turns out, one of them is the senior
lobbyist for the CA Medical Association, and the
other, Jodie Hicks, is a special interest lobbyist who
works for a private company. Her daughter can be
seen in campaign commercials supporting Senator
Pan. It is clear; Pan is taking marching orders from
these lobbyists, something that is illegal according
the CA law.
After postponing the vote in the face of opposition,
the committee decided they would hold a “voteonly” hearing the following week and not allow any
testimony from the opposition. During the week,
they removed a Senator who was in strong opposition to the bill, and added two more Senators,
one of which was Senator Bill Monning, who had
already voted yes on the health committee. This
also gave Senators Pan and Allen a week to lobby
the other senators who had concerns and silence
them before the vote only hearing. Coincidentally,
Vermont did the same exact thing when faced with
opposition from the community. They decided to
hold a vote only hearing and passed it anyway. It
is clear our legislators are motivated by more than
community interest. So what could it be?
It’s about money and lots of it. The problem isn’t
unvaccinated children, it’s Big Pharma and their
desire to get your money. Senator Pan has accepted
over $63,000 in campaign donations just from
pharmaceutical organizations. Several of these
senators have received monies in the same way and
this is a clear violation of ethics.
All these Draconian bills occurred on the heels of
the CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson,
being granted immunity by President Obama. Dr.
Thompson admitted the CDC has known about
and covered up a link between autism and vaccines
for the last 13 years. Add to that, a whistleblower
from Merck, who states they lied about the efficacy
of the mumps vaccine, and the fact that every single
pharmaceutical company has pled guilty to fraud in
the last few years.
Last week, despite considerable opposition, once
again, sb277 flew through the judiciary committee
with a 5 to 1 vote. It seems sb277 has blown effortlessly by three committees, but these Senators
may have an uphill battle getting this bill passed as
the CA Constitution grants every child the right
to a public education. Children with HIV/AIDS,
Hepatitis B, and Tuberculosis are all allowed to
move freely in society and attend school without
question. These contagious children play sports,
climb the monkey bars on the playground, and eat
in the cafeteria, all freely. In fact, they are protected
against discrimination and confidentiality laws regarding their disease status. The US Dept of Education Office for Civil Rights states “Discrimination
based solely on the fear of contagion is discrimination.” How can Senator Pan justify denying healthy
children, who are not contagious, their rights to an
education, based on the false assumption that they
may “someday” get a rare disease and become contagious? This is not exercising the least restrictive
means to allow for children to be educated in the
state of CA. This is segregation and discrimination
on a minority of the population. As we all know,
separate is NOT equal.
If these laws pass, the state will be able to coerce
parent’s who cannot afford to quit their jobs and
home school into vaccinating, which includes
known risks up to and including death. The only
other option is to allow their children to be truant.
Thus, the state is making the conscious decision to
murder and maim some children, no matter how
few, who cannot qualify for a medical exemption
even though they’ve had a past vaccine reaction.
This is all to protect children in school who are 95%
or more vaccinated (protected). There are only 2.5%
of children in the state of CA with a personal or
religious exemption to vaccination at present.
