Senator Pan Throws a Curveball on SB 276, and I’m glad he did

Senator Pan Throws a Curveball on SB 276, and I’m glad he did

I have been told by multiple sources who watched the Appropriations Committee hearing on SB 276 on Thursday May 16, 2019, that Senator Pan stated that the bill had been/or would be amended to remove the review/rescission of current vaccine medical exemptions. But I would note that as of this morning, Friday May 17th, the new amendment is not up on the legislative website. So, for now, it’s just talk. My first (and continued) reaction honestly, was (is) relief. Through…

Remembering what the Politicians said about the scope of medical exemptions under SB 277

Remembering what the Politicians said about the scope of medical exemptions under SB 277

On Monday May 13, 2019, there will be a perfunctory hearing on SB 276 at the Senate Appropriations Committee. If this was covered by the Las Vegas bookmakers, the smart and even the dumb money would be on it passing easliy out of committee along party lines. Still, it’s not a bad time to remember what the politicians said and promised when the PBE was removed under SB 277 and how no-one need worry because of the robust medical exemption…

What Happens if Cali. SB 276 Becomes Law?

What Happens if Cali. SB 276 Becomes Law?

Let’s face it, there are strong rumblings that the Dems are lined-up behind SB 276 in the Senate Appropriations Committee and in both houses in general. That’s bad news for the vaccine concerned whose kids either have or will seek a medical exemption from all childhood vaccines. Basically, under CDC/AAP/AAFP guidelines, there is no such thing as an exemption from all childhood vaccines throughout the duration of childhood, at least not for otherwise healthy kids. And you can forget about…

SB 276 gets Amended, but still knocks-out current medical exemptions, and fragile children won’t qualify for future exemption

SB 276 gets Amended, but still knocks-out current medical exemptions, and fragile children won’t qualify for future exemption

On April 30, 2019, SB 276 was slightly amended. Here is the link to the amended bill. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB276 Here is the short of it: 1. Precautions are added to contraindications: The amended bill adds the following language after contraindications: “or that a specific precaution regarding a particular immunization exists. . . . “ What practical effect will that have on those with current medical exemptions or parent of medical fragile children? I’d say none. Neither the CDC, AAP, AAFP or…

My Letter to the Cali Senate Appropriations Committee Members

I heard Senator Pan testify last week for the Health Committee. I think he was wrong in telling the Committee that the Medical Board is having difficuty pursuing physicians who are writing “fake” medical exemptions. so I decided to tell the Appropriation Committee members why. Here’s my letter: senatorletter Rick Jaffe, Esq. rickjaffeesquire@gmail.com

The Other Part of How to Win the Cali SB 276 battle (and what’s not going to work)

The Other Part of How to Win the Cali SB 276 battle (and what’s not going to work)

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…

To the Cali SB 276 Opponents: Go Big and Go Smart, or Move out of State

To the Cali SB 276 Opponents: Go Big and Go Smart, or Move out of State

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?

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…
