California DPH Drops the Hammer on Medical Exemptions written by Disciplined Doctors

California DPH Drops the Hammer on Medical Exemptions written by Disciplined Doctors

Comments 7 comments

I have just learned that the California Department of Public Health has contacted all the state’s school districts and informed them that all medical exemptions written by physicians who have been disciplined by the California Medical or Osteopathic Boards are revoked effective the beginning of the coming school year, 2021-2022 (or September 1, 2021, for child care facilities). Here is what the CDPH sent to the schools. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WxHhNDtsJGwQ9_YXTCkDkhTT03_Lrdtf/view?fbclid=IwAR1Gz54L6u71w8dJu6kPxYBWjwTJuDDpKMjuB6geY_p0vaiQGclVLXVAHfE In addition, CDPH’s notice attached/contained a link to a 92-page list of…

Final Hearing Date on Ken Stoller’s Writ Set for July 23rd

Final Hearing Date on Ken Stoller’s Writ Set for July 23rd

Comments 11 comments

We took the first available hearing date for the actual hearing on Ken’s Stoller’s writ of administrative mandate, and the hearing will be on Friday, July 23rd at 10:00 AM. Usually, on these final writ decisions, the judge will issue a tentative decision, the day before the hearing, the loser gets to try to convince the judge why he’s wrong. The judge did issue a new decision on the stay but he didn’t change his mind. Here is the final…

Stoller Hearing Held, Judge to Issue an Amended Ruling (but don’t get your hopes up)

Stoller Hearing Held, Judge to Issue an Amended Ruling (but don’t get your hopes up)

Comments 3 comments

We had the hearing in Ken Stoller’s stay application which started a few minutes late. I don’t think any of you saw it because the instructions changed. It was held in zoom department 1 and not department 17 which is the judge’s regular part. It was a very spirited discussion between me and the judge. He is a very smart fellow but conventional and believes he has a very limited role of review on these administrative mandates. I started by…

Tentative Decision Denies Ken Stoller’s Request for a Stay

Tentative Decision Denies Ken Stoller’s Request for a Stay

Comments 2 comments

Previously, the judge indicated that he would not be issuing a “tentative decision” on Ken Stoller’s Request for a Stay of the Board’s Revocation Order, but we received word earlier today that he changed his mind and would issue one in advance of the scheduled 3:45 PM hearing. We just received it. He denied the request for the stay because he thinks the Board decision seems to be correct, (or in technical terms, we failed to convince him that we…

Stoller Medical Board Case Update: Stay Hearing Set for March 17th

Stoller Medical Board Case Update: Stay Hearing Set for March 17th

Comments 1 comment

We filed our appeal papers with the Sacramento Superior Court late last week (technically, a writ of administrative mandate). Yesterday, we received notice that the hearing on our application for a stay of the Board’s revocation order will take place on March 17th at 3:45 PM via zoom. It will be watchable by the public. I will post details about how to watch it next week. These writ cases are heard by judges who only hear writ cases which usually…

What the Heck is the Harvard Pilgrim Study and did it really say that about the underreporting of vaccine adverse events?

What the Heck is the Harvard Pilgrim Study and did it really say that about the underreporting of vaccine adverse events?

Comments 85 comments

There has been much social media chatter about some Harvard Pilgrim study and how it found that vaccine adverse events and deaths are underreported by a factor of 100. As a litigator in the vaccine field, this is something I have come across and have used, so I thought it might be helpful to some readers to post the study, and maybe clear-up some misimpressions in circulation.  So, here is the study:  r18hs017045-lazarus-final-report-2011(6) For those who just want the highlights…

Cali. Medical Board Orders Ken Stoller’s license revoked as of March 18th 2021; We will appeal!

Comments 11 comments

In an order dated February 16th, the Medical Board of California ordered the revocation of Ken Stoller’s medical license for writing 10 medical exemptions that did not comply with ACIP guidelines, and also for not requesting prior medical records for the patients, and using genetic testing information which was not considered scientifically proven. The order goes into effect on March 18, 2021. We will, of course, appeal (technically called a writ of administrative mandate), most likely by the end of…

Why The Vaccine Concerned Community Should Stop the “vaccines are unavoidably unsafe” Mantra

Why The Vaccine Concerned Community Should Stop the “vaccines are unavoidably unsafe” Mantra

Comments 2 comments

Two years ago, I wrote what I thought was a straight-up and neutral post saying that the Supreme Court never held that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” Here is that post and my in the weeds explanation of what the Supreme Court actually said and did in that case.  https://rickjaffeesq.com/2019/02/16/to-my-vaccine-concerned-friends-stop-saying-that-the-supreme-court-decided-that-vaccines-are-unavoidably-unsafe-it-didnt/  The bottom line is that there is no majority or plurality opinion or decision which held that “vaccines are unavoidably unsafe.” This is just my analysis of a Supreme Court case….

The Short of it on California Medical Exemptions under SB 277, and a bit on the Possibly Soon to be Mandatory COVID Vaccine

I have written many posts explaining California medical exemptions written under SB 277 which was in effect from January 1, 2016, until December 31, 2019.   See http://rickjaffeesq.com/2019/09/23/caesar-has-spoken-the-cali-department-of-public-health-provides-answers-to-some-of-your-questions-about-vaccine-medical-exemptions/ http://rickjaffeesq.com/2020/06/10/will-my-childs-california-permanent-medical-exemption-be-valid-next-year-if-she-changes-schools/ I keep on getting questions about it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or capabilities to respond to questions of individual families, so let me lay it out as plainly as I can once again with some caveats. If your child had a medical exemption written during the time was SB 277…
