With California's vaccine bill, children's immunizations and Newsom's word are at stake
Gov. Gavin Newsom is about to show the Legislature and all of us just how much his word is worth.
But soon after being sworn in, Newsom declared a moratorium on capital punishment while he’s in office. The vaccine bill, SB 276, would tighten the state’s immunization law that requires children to be vaccinated against contagious diseases — including measles and polio — before being admitted to school for the first time. Kids can be excused for medical reasons, such as a weak immune system.
Pan told colleagues during the Senate floor debate Wednesday that he’s always willing to work with the governor on legislation, but it’s too late in this year’s session to tinker with his bill. Some parents believe that vaccinations can cause other ailments — mistakenly thinking, for example, that a measles shot can trigger autism, a discredited theory.
One of the “ginners,” Pan says, was Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who lobbied in the Capitol against what he called the “draconian proposal.”“Legislators have had enough,” Pan said. “It didn’t matter where they were on the bill.”
