In 2015, California passed a vaccine law that removed all non-medical exemptions to getting vaccinated.
What was the response?
More kids got vaccinated.
Are Parents Faking Their Child’s Vaccine Records?
Not all of them though.
Shortly after the passage of SB277 we quickly learned of one way that parents were trying to get around the law – fake vaccine exemptions.
That’s right. Some doctors were selling fake vaccine exemptions using bogus medical symptoms, histories, and conditions.
And apparently, now that fake vaccine exemptions are getting harder to come by, some parents are simply trying to fake their child’s immunization records.
While I doubt a lot of people are faking their records, some probably are.
Some have already been caught forging their child’s vaccine records because their intentionally unvaccinated kids (who were supposed to be vaccinated) were involved in outbreaks!
Some others were caught writing fake vaccine exemptions, using forms from one of the doctor’s who notoriously sells fake medical vaccine exemptions!
Surprised?
You shouldn’t be.
This is the modern anti-vaccine movement.
