California passed a new vaccine law, SB 277, in 2015.
With the passage of SB 277, California joined Mississippi and West Virginia as the only states that do not allow either religious or personal belief vaccine exemptions.
A few other states passed new vaccine laws of their own in the following years.
Despite what anti-vaccine folks might think, not one of the new laws means that anyone is forcing kids to get vaccinated though.

Be a vaccine advocate and make sure your state legislators know that you support strong vaccine laws that will keep us all protected from vaccine-preventable diseases, as more and more folks try and abuse vaccine exemptions.

What I find so amazing is the lies about the “true factual numbers” of real measles cases there actually are within the US. If this was 100% eliminated of 50 years ago then why all of a sudden huge outbreaks as of now when nothing much has changed but the truth of what has been honestly discovered within these “so called safe” vaccines for our children. Have you ever been able to get your hands upon a MMR vaccine and take it to a lab and have it tested to see what is all included within these Vaccines? Well, some have and remaining silent upon that much of it you would be disgusted and shocked to see all of the metal that are highly toxic to the human body that in small traces take years to move through out the body causing all sorts of complications to the central nervous system and brain.
Think about this, why is it that doctors for the most part admit to getting “huge” bonuses for vaccinating as many children as the possibly can and they even fight parents who want to just wait a little more until their children’s immune systems are stronger telling even stating that “death does happen frequently so as injuries but that is just part of it.” Well, if these vaccines are safe and contain no harmful elements at all right? then why have the numbers a brain injuries and autism only amongst children who have received these vaccinations increased by triple the amount within just a few years, and in children without vaccinations, almost nil? Why won’t the CDC admit to their evil ways. Because keeping and making people sick and putting toxins in the body of which the CDC knows and has tested that will overtime make children develop illness and sickness over the growing years to come is a trillion dollar business that they refuse to lose money within, AMERICAN GREED is killing our children and there is more then enough proof that illustrates this and I have seen it in person. Tremendously scary living in the US watching the CDC of whom we trust to watch over our children make up lies and not even label what is truly in the vaccines so as to hide the true materials within them for the sake of pure profit is evil. Don’t you think? If not grab the MMR vaccine and put it in your own arm. I asked several doctors that if they trust the MMR vaccine so much and it doesn’t injure nor cause potential injury to the developing brain and central nervous system to take it and give it to their own children, and guess what, not one said they would ever come close to doing so but some even said “being a doctor I do not need to answer to you, soon you will be forced to get the vaccine in which if you look at it, I win regardless.” Nice answer. F@#$ the CDC.
Very few risks???? Ha! Imbeciles. According to who?
“Despite what anti-vaccine folks might think, not one of the new laws means that anyone is forcing kids to get vaccinated though.”
So, will folks who choice to be vaccine free still be able to attend public (or even homeschooled for some states)? No? Hmm. Sounds forced to me.

It’s just one more step in a long series of steps that lead to everyone being forced into vaccination – children and adults. We are not people to this industry, we are dollar signs. They can’t make money from a healthy population. But they stand to make billions from vaccinating and from people getting sick and diseased. That is their motivation. And actually many people are forced to vaccinate their children against their will and better judgement with exemptions being taken away because many people have to have their kids in public school. Lots of people can’t afford to homeschool or do a private school. These laws are impositioning the lives of hardworking Americans who just want to raise their families as they see fit. And they have the right to do so. The state does not have that right.
” vaccines are safe” umm no. They are legally classified as “inherently unsafe.” What a bold lie!
Could you kindly point me in the direction of where I might find that they are legally classified as inherently unsafe? I would like to read up on that legal classification.
The vaccine inserts state, ” have not been tested for carcinogenic, mutogenic or sterilizing effects.”
In the book vaccination voodoo the author lays out the argument and quotes the original bill that allowed vaccines to begin with. One of the qualifiers for even allowing them to exist is to be tested as safe.
Safe or not why should any government local, state, or federal be allowed to make let alone enforce a single law on a free people, who’s rights are God given not government granted, be it on vaccinations, being forced on a list, or any thing or way they can come up with to force their way into our lives, take our rights and freedoms. It’s APM laughable that Americans still think they have anymore freedom then the Chinese.

OMG!! Necessary – bullshit. As a person who had the real measels and mumps and then mandated to get the MMR to attend a masters degree program because of rubella. I can tell you based upon my injury from the MMR beginning 48 hours later that your full of shit. Apparently not safe with minor injuries either. The MMR and Hep B ruined my life.
There are millions of adults running around who do Not have titters to mumps or measels because the vaccine only last a few years. That’s why people continue to spead these diseases. In a country that cancer (and not the curable hpv one) has increased 10 fold in children not to mention chronic illnesses that the medical field coincidentally has no clue what causes it (although our pets have been determined to get cancer from vaccines). If a child gets the measels across the country the news is all over it but what I’d like to know is how many children died this week at the local hospital not from the measels. The Fake news (or what is actually biased news) is unbelievable.
As a former correctional officer I can honestly say from experience that the prisons need to be cleared out cause the people incarcerated have committed far less crimes than doctors, government officials, etc who play God and disregard the life of others. The medical system is one of the most corrupt systems out there.
Absolute Lies! Informed Consent! We choose what goes into our body! And our kids! The measles vaccine causes more harm than the virus did! You tell me what is in the vaccine! Poison!
My Child My Choice. Just like Democrats like to say my body my choice before getting an abortion. If they want to force the needle, I will force the lead pill when they show up at my doorstep.
I am NOT one who advocates for needless, dishonest and unlawful mandated medical procedures. Medical procedures should be between a person and their doctor and never a political issue! This advocating mandated vaccination laws is unethical, immoral and a crime against humanity.
so happy to read the comments on this page. there is no science that can prove vaccines are safe or necessary. What we should focus on as people who are promoting health is how to boost the immune system to keep us healthy, the way mother nature intended is the best way. Thousands of children all over the world have been injured and killed because of vaccines. Do the research for yourself and don’t listen to mainstream media- they have been bought out by the pharmaceutical companies and so has the corrupt af government. They don’t care about you. Bush even said it, “money trumps peace.” Money trumps everything really- to the people in control. They injure children from the start at hospitals to make them life long clients, slaves, indoctrinated to the system, unable to think and use our unlimited potentials to make this world an even more beautiful place to live. Because that’s the truth. My neighbors are good people trying to live and thrive, most people are. There is no need for this bullshit propaganda and fear mongering. The world is a beautiful place we don’t need to be controlled by these psychopaths.
Vaccines are a barbaric carryover from past centuries, when doctors actually believed injecting poison into babies and children would make them healthier. I know it sounds crazy, because it is!

Push to hard and the Texas motto “Come and take it” comes to mind… This is NOT up for debate. You try to violate me I don’t care if I have to file charges against 10000 people hope you get the full line of punishment under what is considered treason.
