I shouldn't smile about this...I know. It isn't nice to gloat while watching others get their comeuppance. Lets see what is happening here first....
Well, at first glance? I'd say the idea of claiming exemption for everything up to the worship of an Almighty kumquat to avoid vaccinating in California is about to come to an end. Forever.
On second glance? A group often sharing members with plenty of causes similarly about being in our personal business and dictating terms to how we live our lives ...is getting it turned on them and in a way so fast, so hard and so final...they'll be wondering what happened.
The lawmakers apparently know very well that if they give time for people to react, this will die like it probably deserves to. I don't trust anything being pushed through loopholes and getting modified to AVOID allowing the public time to consider anything.
Still, having said that? I generally support the bill's purpose. If others want to commit suicide, I'll hand them a real weapon to do it right. Don't roll the biological dice to hope you don't get a major illness...which should be vaccinated against....to then spread among those who CANNOT vaccinate for whatever reason (medical, among others) to sicken or outright kill them. Plenty of the core vaccinations deal with things that aren't necessarily fatal to healthy people in the prime of life ...but the majority of the American society isn't described that way anymore, either.

This is one of those cases where I can agree with the goal and intent ...while still hoping to see it crash and burn in failure for the damage done by HOW it is accomplished. I think many people are getting about full of their limit for being backdoor'ed and loophole'd with whatever Politicals "deem is best for us" while openly taking the attitude that we're too stupid to know what that is, to offer an informed opinion to the process.
A divisive vaccination bill that would remove parental exemptions will be voted on by the California state Senate Thursday, after last-minute changes by its authors trimmed the bill and allowed it to skip a final committee hearing.
Amendments were added to Senate Bill 277 that will keep the cost of enacting the bill under $50,000, a loophole that allows the legislation to skip the Senate's appropriations committee and head directly to a Senate vote.

The bill's authors, Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, and Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, removed a provision that requires schools to inform parents of immunization rates in order to lower the bill's implementation cost.

If the bill is passed, California would become the third state to eliminate personal- or religious-belief exemptions from its immunization requirements.
