In 2012, then California Assemblyman Dr. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento)¹ assured Californians that a bill he sponsored (AB2107) to increase child vaccination rates in the state would not remove parental rights to make vaccine choices for their children.

Now a state Senator, he’s singing a different tune. This year he worked with attorney Senator Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica) to fast track a bill (SB277) through the state legislature

The bill would make it virtually impossible for California children to attend daycare or get a school education without receiving more than 40 doses of 10 federally recommended vaccines or filing a medical vaccine exemption granted by a medical doctor.

If the bill is made law, parents and their children will pay a hefty price. As Dr. Pan stated on his Facebook page² on June 9:

“it is time for all state legislatures to step in… Yes, parents have the right to refuse vaccination for their children, but to protect other parents’ and children’s rights, these families must then accept the consequences of their decision: no admittance to public preschool, school, college, or workplace. [Emphasis mine]

That’s right; unless you vaccinate your child, he or she will be denied a school education from preschool through college. You’ll have no option but to homeschool.

And, it sounds like Dr. Pan is not going to be content with preventing children from getting an education but is also going to lobby to deny employment to adults unwilling to comply with federal vaccine recommendations.

How can this occur in America, “land of the free”? It is with a shudder I realize that my satirical April Fool’s article, “US Government Rolls Out Mandatory Adult Vaccination and Tracking Program“, is becoming more frighteningly real with each passing day.

Many of my readers were outraged after reading that satire piece. They didn’t realize it was a joke until they read my disclaimer at the end of the article because it hit so close to the truth.

That really says something about the growing discomfort with and deteriorating faith in oppressive and ineffective public health policies and laws.

Threat of Forced Vaccinations May Unleash a New Wave of Activism

If SB277 passes, I believe California will experience a traumatic backlash, as parents will have no recourse but to shrug and comply, or flee like refugees to states where some semblance of medical choice and parental rights still exist.

As noted by co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) Barbara Loe Fisher during her recent Sacramento rally speech opposing SB277:

“The right of the State to tell us what to do to our bodies and the bodies of our children ends where our right to protect our lives and our children’s lives begins.

No liability-free doctor inside or outside of government should be given the power to punish us if we choose not to play vaccine roulette with liability-free vaccines.

We believe every life is important. We will not look the other way while those of us vulnerable to vaccine injury and death are being sacrificed in the name of the greater good.

When the State considers one of us to be expendable, then we are all considered expendable.

We will not give up our human rights for our civil rights. We will not give up the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking in order to exercise our civil right to an education and medical care and employment…”
