"California has one of the strictest compulsory vaccination laws for schoolchildren in the nation, but Senate Bill 276 by Senator Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) would eliminate almost all vaccine medical exemptions, allegedly to crack down on fraud. Under this bill, State bureaucrats — not physicians –would be in charge of deciding whether children may receive medical exemptions and thus whether they can attend school."

"Proponents of SB 276 argue that doctors are granting many fraudulent exemptions. Indeed, Chemerinsky noted that he believed doctors were granting medical exemptions in “disturbing quantities.” The fact is, even without the adoption of SB 276, the Medical Board of California is investigating doctors for potentially fraudulent exemptions. Of the cases that the Board has investigated to date, there have been no fraudulent medical exemptions found. The idea of rampant fraud is a scare tactic to advance SB 276, and a fantasy."

"The bills would order the California Department of Public Health to investigate and discipline doctors who grant more than five medical exemptions in a year, in schools with immunization rates under 95 percent."

Another reason California is terrible

In addition... the laws will now invalidate permanent exemptions for every child that was granted an exemption, if the doctor that granted the exemption is facing disciplinary action. Sooo... let's say your kid gets the MMR shot and has a seizure and almost dies, so your doctor granted an exemption. Your doctor is then investigated by a California bureaucrat and they decide to discipline them.
Well... looks like your kid is screwed.

Fascism is here.

I'm assuming this law will only effect children that are citizens.

that's the purest definition of #insanity...

I'm going to have to revise line 1c) after reading this....

in all seriousness, that's outright disheartening that could impact the country on a scale never seen....
