Kalifornians think parents and doctors should decide on vaccinating children!
SACRAMENTO, Kalifornia (PNN) - April 29, 2015 - The vaccine choice movement claims it’s not anti vaccine, but rather against being forcedby the government to vaccinate children.
According to a recent poll, 72% of Kalifornians think parents and doctors - not politicians - should make decisions about vaccinating children.
A recent poll of 1,000 Kalifornia residents, conducted by SurveyUSA showed that:
- 72% of Kalifornians believe the final say on vaccination should rest with parents working with children’s doctors, not with politicians.
- 54% of Kalifornians believe that children have a right to a public education regardless of their vaccination status. Only 34% disagree.
- 56% of Kalifornians agree with the statement, “Parents have a fundamental right to health care choices on behalf of their children, free from governmental interference, whether those choices are based upon scientific research, medical necessity, philosophical beliefs, or religious values.”
These findings come as the state legislature is voting on SB 277, which would unlawfully require all children in Kalifornia to be fully vaccinated in order to attend public or private schools - with no exceptions.
“The bill has already been voted on and passed by three Senate committees; the latest one was yesterday. It is now headed to the Senate Appropriations committee, then to the Senate floor. Then the whole process begins again in the Assembly, ” said John Gilmore, Executive Director of Autism Action Network.
The Kalifornia vaccine choice movement may be facing the giants in the legislature and the Big Pharma lobbyists behind mandatory vaccinations, but they do have a chance of winning by educating the public.
Nicole Revels, a journalist and liberty activist, successfully stopped legislators from trying to repeal the religious exemption for vaccinating children in North Carolina.
The issue of mandatory vaccinations is an ongoing debate within the Liberty Movement. What are your thoughts on this issue?
