Can I sue Senator Richard Pan for doing his job as a California Legislator? THAT WOULD BE A HARD NO!

I’ve been asked this question a couple times recently as the frustration of the Vaccine Concerned grow as SB 276 winds its way through the California Legislature, so a public answer might be in order. The job of legislators is to propose and pass legislation. It doesn’t matter if a small minority or even a large majority of citizens don’t like a particular bill or law, or think its unfair, horrible or even murderous. The process is the process, regardless…

My last post “Go Big and Go Smart or Move Out of State” generated some sharp disagreements (at least on my Facebook page), but that’s not a bad thing. These issues need to be discussed, but quickly, so that action isn’t delayed. here is that post: http://rickjaffeesq.com/2019/04/11/to-the-cali-sb-276-opponents-go-big-and-go-smart-or-move-out-of-state/ One criticism I got is don’t piss-off the legislators; they won’t like you. My guess is that most of the legislators already think you’re a bunch of anti vax wackos, so I wouldn’t…

I saw some Facebook video clips from the Sacramento anti-SB 276 rally which took place yesterday, April 10, 2019. The hundreds of participants seemed highly motivated. The speakers which included Rock Star Del Big Tree and RFKJr, (who I consider the brightest and most cogent star in the Vaccine Concerned firmament) was also there I’ve heard. Del is broadcasting today, and has some other heavyweight movement leaders. It is certainly democracy at work. I have a question for the anti-276…

Where is the California Medical Board’s Outrage over SB 276?

Where is the California Medical Board’s Outrage over SB 276?

Comments 5 comments

Unless you follow general health care issues, you might have missed the outrage expressed by the head of the California Insurance Commission, when it came out that nurses rather than doctors were making insurance coverage decisions about expensive medical procedures, and for high cost procedures, denial of coverage means denial of care. Here is an article explaining it. https://www.newsmax.com/thewire/aetna-medical-director-nurses-decide/2018/02/12/id/842821/ At least Aetna had nurses reviewing the medical records before they denied coverage (FYI: I hate health insurance companies. See Chapter…

Good News for the Vaccine Concerned: NY Judge TRO’s Rockland County Executive’s Ban

Good News for the Vaccine Concerned: NY Judge TRO’s Rockland County Executive’s Ban

Comments 2 comments

A New York judge in Rockland County has just issued a TRO stopping Rockland County Executive Edwin Day’s March 26, 2019 ban on unvaccinated orthodox jewish children from being in public places for one month because of the measles outbreak in Rockland County. This might be the first ever something like this has happened, maybe both ways, the County executive’s action and a judge stopping it. In addition to issuing the TRO, the judge signed an order to show cause…

Memo to Cali. Parents of Currently Vaccine Medically Exempt Children: What happens if SB 276 becomes law?

Memo to Cali. Parents of Currently Vaccine Medically Exempt Children: What happens if SB 276 becomes law?

Comments 3 comments

By now, all Cali. Vaccine Concerned (“VC”) know that earlier this week, Senator Richard Pan dropped the bill he’s been hinting about for some time. His SB 276 will eliminate the power of physicians to issue vaccine medical exemptions. Instead, doctors will submit form applications/requests for exemptions which will be reviewed and approved or denied by unspecified state health officials. Even more significant, but unsurprising is SB 276’s stated standard for which medical exemption applications will be reviewed: CDC contraindications,…

In late January 2019, Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Newman issued a dissenting opinion which everyone interested in the vaccine issue should read and study. The Court of Appeals had affirmed the vaccine court’s denial of compensation to an alleged vaccine injured child on the stated grounds that the child’s injury was a result of a genetically confirmed pre-existing condition. The family moved for rehearing and en banc rehearing, which was denied, but Judge Newman wrote a dissenting opinion…

Last night, March 25, 2019, California Senator Richard Pan’s office dropped his new bill, SB 276 correcting what he has described as the rampant unjustified/fraudulent medical vaccine exemptions being written by some physicians. His solution is to have public health officers approve or reject medical exemption “requests” submitted by physicians. The bill also establishes the criteria for medical exemptions, and there’s no surprise here: CDC contraindications, roughly, the package insert contraindications for each vaccine. I think that would make California…

The Smartest Thing the Vaccine Concerned Have Done Recently (or maybe ever)

The Smartest Thing the Vaccine Concerned Have Done Recently (or maybe ever)

But first, the dumbest thing the VC do, IMO. I have been very critical of both the tactics and strategic decisions made by the Vaccine Concerned powers-that-be. For example, although I understand the emotions behind them, I think all the lawsuits challenging SB 277 were a waste of time and money. No court is going to create a constitutional right to a personal belief exemption, or stop mandatory vaccination under the current medical vaccine paradigm.  (You all know and hate…
