The San Diego School District’s Attack on Medical Exempitons

The San Diego School District’s Attack on Medical Exempitons

Comments 2 comments

Since the passage of SB 276/714 there have been reports that random schools have been rejecting medical exemptions (“ME’s”). Before the pandemic, the San Diego School district hit the radar screen on the issue because of Medical Board subpoenas issued to obtain the student records of the vaccine medically exempt. That wasn’t completely successful based on a lawsuit filed (but I lost track of that case, so I do not know for sure). Then I started hearing crazy stuff like…

Digging into the Moderna Vaccine Clinical Trials Protocols and Results

Digging into the Moderna Vaccine Clinical Trials Protocols and Results

Comments 13 comments

Moderna has just announced that its RNA based vaccine is starting a phase 3 clinical trial with 30,000 subjects, so I thought it might be useful to take a look at the publicly available information about the trial, and how they got there. Let’s go logically and chronologically and start with the phase 1 safety study. The Phase 1 study A phase 1 study is a safety study. They usually have relatively few subjects, and different doses are given because…

The Kennedy-Dershowitz Debate: Must See TV!

The Kennedy-Dershowitz Debate: Must See TV!

Comments 2 comments

A few days ago, the Bobby Kennedy/Alan Dershowitz debate was released. As a lawyer involved in the vaccine issue, it was very heartening to see such a high quality debate on the subject. It was very enjoyable to watch these two extremely smart, deep thinkers talk about these issues with open mindedness, clarity and mutual respect for each other, and for the opinions of the other with which they did not agree. I can’t personally recall anything like this ever…

Will my child’s California permanent medical exemption be valid next year if she changes schools?

Will my child’s California permanent medical exemption be valid next year if she changes schools?

I answered that question a few times in other posts dealing with medical exemptions and their future viability in general. However, I figure it is time to do a post specifically on this question, so here goes: The Law (and the good news) There is nothing in current California law (and that would be SB 276/714) which states or implies that switching schools within a grade span causes an otherwise valid SB 277 grandfathered medical exemption to become invalid. The…

Will Your Child’s Cali. Medical Exemption Be Good When Schools Reopen in the Fall?

Will Your Child’s Cali. Medical Exemption Be Good When Schools Reopen in the Fall?

I have been getting that question a lot lately. It is understandable with all that is going on. The answer is that I don’t know and I don’t think anyone can know for three reasons. First, Senator Pan had to give-up some important ground at the end of the last session, via SB 714 which watered down some of SB 276’s more onerous provisions. The biggest problem (from the regulators’ point of view) with the current SB276/714 law is that…

What Could Be Next in the California Legislative Vaccine Front

What Could Be Next in the California Legislative Vaccine Front

Supposedly, the legislative session is going to restart on May 4th. But whenever it continues, I would expect Senator Pan and his allies to clean-up and fix the slippage which resulted from SB 714’s amendment of SB 276, and to take advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there is not a vaccine for the disease right now, there surely will be, in a year to eighteen months as is the general (possibly) optimistic estimate, or maybe even sooner. Because it…

Medical Board Claims that “Evidence of Vaccine Safety and Vaccine Safety Data is Irrelevant” to the Stoller Case

Medical Board Claims that “Evidence of Vaccine Safety and Vaccine Safety Data is Irrelevant” to the Stoller Case

Comments 0 Comment

from the gogetfund me update, which I couldn’t post from my web site due to something suspicious. Under SB 277, a physician is permitted to issue a medical exemption if she determines that immunization “is not considered safe” for the patient. I confess to perhaps naively thinking that we could defend the Board’s case against Dr. Stoller by showing why he did not consider immunization safe in the 10 patients involved in the Medical Board’s accusation against him. To that…

Tommorow, the ALJ will tell us whether we get to present evidence justifying ten SB 277 medical exemptions that Ken Stoller issued which stated that immunization was not safe for these children. Yes, it is surprising that we might not be able to present evidence on vaccine safety since vaccine safety (or lack thereof) is the actual statutory basis for writing medical exemptions under SB 277. But maybe special rules apply to cases involving vaccines, or maybe it is the…
