A Kaiser Family Foundation study released in December found 30% of parents say they definitely will not vaccinate their kids. State Senator Scott Wiener says about 1 million Californians, ages 12 to 17, are not yet vaccinated against COVID, which is why he's proposing a new law.
"Senate Bill 866, which will lower the age of consent for receiving a vaccine from 18 to 12, to allow our teenagers to be able to protect their health, whether COVID or other serious diseases, to ensure that our schools are safe," said Sen. Wiener, San Francisco Democrat. The bill includes other legal, FDA approved vaccines for that age group. Opponents will be fighting against established legal precedents. "Twelve year olds, already today, go in and receive an HPV or Hepatitis B vaccine without their parents being there. They can receive reproductive health care including abortion and birth control on their own They can receive mental health care," said Wiener.
Co-sponsor, Senator Richard Pan, MD is also a practicing pediatrician. "I'm a parent of teenagers. I want my children to be able to protect themselves," said Senator Pan. Senator Wiener brought in teens who are in groups advocating teen vaccine self choice. "We deserve to protect ourselves and those around us from death and disability and, to so many of us, that means getting vaccinated," said Cady. "Because they can't get the vaccine, teens live in fear of isolation. Not only may they infect their grandparents, younger siblings, but even themselves; potentially missing school, friends and family," said Arin.
Remember y'all voted this fool in office
California want to eliminate parental rights - Mao and Lenin are both very proud.
Absolutely
This guy obviously doesn’t have kids and is completely out of touch. The Dems in California are power drunk
Just wait these socialist are just starting there quest to make you conform.
pregnancy and drinking age lowered to age 10.
Drivers license and age to marry will also be lowered to 12 in California soon.
Gov't signing away ur rights 2 sue Pharma for injuries or death due 2 covid jab. Gov't can't sign ppl's rights away. Unless u live under an authoritarian/dictatorship. But as a backup there is always 'willful misconduct' to sue Pfizer under. B sure 2 tell a friend.
Me and other unvaxxed are not happy about being right. Retweet to save kids and babies.
No
Yeah no.
Yikes the state is now raising children. Scary
Government telling what’s going to happen. Looney Left controlling your life.
No! That decision is between them, their parents and doctor! Ridiculous that we are even talking about this! GavinNewsom STOP the insanity!
Utterly insane. Absolutely no one has the right to put something in my child’s body without my permission.
The answer is no shit faces. Wtf.
No doubt that today, in 2022, many SF/California politicians secretly (or not) admire this monster. We, the ones who've experienced 'socialism' first hand can see it. PS: In 1930-1940s America 'progressive' was a front word for 'communists' or 'communist regime' sympathizers.
Are parents responsible for taking care of them if they suffer adverse reactions or will the state cover all associated healthcare and recovery costs? “You have no say, but all the burden” At least California progressives are consistent.
Can we agree that Scott_Wiener should never be allowed near children?
So glad we moved.
