California Bill Would Require All School Kids To Have Covid Jab

A proposed California law would prevent parents from invoking personal beliefs as a reason to not vaccinate their children against Covid.

State Senator, Dr Richard Pan introduced the ‘Keep Schools Open and Safe’ Act on Monday, which would nix exemptions from Covid vaccination based on personal beliefs.

“We have an opportunity here to keep kids safe,” Pan said during a California Medical Association news conference.

Under current state law, personal belief exemptions must be allowed for any newly required childhood vaccinations unless the legislature passes a law banning them.

Pan said removing the personal belief exemption loophole for the “safe and effective” covid shots ensures that “every medically eligible student attending school in person is vaccinated.”

RT reports: Pan, a pediatrician who represents an area in Sacramento, said the pandemic has caused “disruption, anxiety, and trauma” for families in the state, and this legislation would bring “confidence and certainty” to them. 

“What we’re saying is that if you choose not to vaccinate your child, there’s a consequence,” the senator told the San Francisco Chronicle, as he defended the bill.

The proposal from Pan would also require all students from kindergarten through 12th grade to receive Covid-19 vaccinations beginning January 23, 2023 if they want to have in-person classes. The only way for unvaccinated students to still go to school at that point would be to obtain a medical exemption.

A vaccine mandate for school children was put in place by Governor Gavin Newsom. The mandate, in its current form, envisions both medical and personal belief exemptions, and is set to take effect later this year.  

Pan acknowledged that his proposal goes further than Newsom’s, insisting that his law, if passed, would expand on the governor’s order.

“Gov. Newsom got out front, he issued his executive order, but a state law would make it much more certain and less likely to be challenged in court,” he said. 

The question over a potential state law requiring vaccines for minors is one of multiple legal battles in California related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Another member of the California State Senate previously introduced a bill that would allow minors over the age of 12 to receive vaccination without the consent of their parents. 

Weiner claimed when introducing his proposal that children in the state are being blocked by their parents from being vaccinated.

  1. The evil of them is just unimaginable. California is considered to be the lead state for the world That’s because or why that’s where they legalised worshipping satan.

  2. If California cared about its children then they wouldn’t be last in education. All this will do is drive anyone that can flee out of the state. The poor, the dumb and the SJW’s will gladly poison their children.

  3. This garbage is UNlawful/UNconstitutional & constitutes crimes against humanity. Pan & the rest of the cabal crowd need to be arrested for their treason against Californians. Is there any courageous sheriff in CA who will do this?
