Nobody noticed the OTHER bill California passed about Vaccines.

If walking about unvaccinated only harmed yourself I would 100% agree that it should not be imposed on anyone.
 
California has had a few outbreaks of illnesses that are easily prevented from vaccination I'm sure that's why they have tightened up.
Oddly enough most Southern conservative states have the most strict vaccination rules & laws.
 
That seems weird to me. I always thought of California as the place that let you get away with any kind of bullshit, so long as you claimed it was part of your belief system.

The craziest thing was when undocumented aliens would contract something like whooping cough, go to Disneyland and infect a ton of unvaccinated people.

It's a a bad combo and even art majors in the state legislature understood the problem.
 
There are many vaccines which I find perfectly acceptable to refuse en masse without likely public health danger.

Too bad that generally comes along with refusing ones that do have compelling public health interest.

actually the outbreaks were in orange county-ish and anaheim, IIRC. home to rich, white, jenny-mcarthy types who think they know better than hundreds of years of established medical practice that wiped out smallpox, polio, etc.

You can no longer use a religious excuse to get out of vaccinations. You need a medical reason AND it has to be verified by a doctor.

Apparently only Mississippi and West Va. have similar laws.

Wait a second. You can be forced to get a vaccine?

I'm not an anti-vaxer, but people should be able to refuse vaccines for any reason.
 
Just like the Right has its anti science people the left does as well. Unfortunately its around holistic medicine and gmos.

not just outbreaks. kids have died as a result.
 
I am not trying to be mean, but it is a point of enormous misinformation even among the medical community. The answer is 1979 by the way. You might want to look up the rates of pertussis instead and also the rates of immunity among adults and the way that infants who die from the illness contract it.

Still quite rare, but it is something that happens regularly that you can do something about. Your kids are much more in danger if you are not vaccinated appropriately for pertussis then they ever have been from anti vacvers for polio.

This is not a generalisable argument, though. Each illness and each vaccine needs to be understood separately.
 
You could argue the answer is 1999 from that page. Of course, all 162 cases of paralytic polio contacted in the US from 1980 to 1999 came from the vaccine. Whoops!

We use an inactivated vaccine now.
 
Big pharma has a conflict of interest, and they have abused it big time.

And they have zero to do with this conversation.
