Bob Sears wasn’t a fan of SB 277, the vaccine law that removed non-medical exemptions in California.
Not surprisingly, he is actively rallying folks against a new bill that would close a loophole in that law. It seems that some doctors were writing medical exemptions for anything and everything, from eczema to swollen lymph nodes.
Of course, the new law wouldn’t take away medical exemptions. It would just take away fake medical exemptions.
Yes, take a long hard look at their list…
A very few actually are actually standard contraindications and precautions to commonly used vaccines, so could likely get you a medical exemption to one or more vaccines. GBS within 6 weeks of a flu shot, a precaution, not a contraindication, would be an example. But even in this case, the exemption would be for flu shots, not all vaccines.
“Events or conditions listed as precautions should be reviewed carefully. Benefits of and risks for administering a specific vaccine to a person under these circumstances should be considered. If the risk from the vaccine is believed to outweigh the benefit, the vaccine should not be administered. If the benefit of vaccination is believed to outweigh the risk, the vaccine should be administered. “
Vaccine Recommendations and Guidelines of the ACIP
What about all of the rest of the diseases or “severe reactions” on Bob’s list, like pneumonia, palpitations, eczema, hair loss, IBD, difficulty swallowing, skin infections, testicular pain, HSP, Multiple Sclerosis, and Kawasaki disease, etc.
These are not vaccine injuries, even though they are sometimes in a package insert. I’m surprised that he didn’t list SIDS and autism too…
And this is why California needs to fix their vaccine law… Folks, including pediatricians, pushing the idea that everything is a vaccine injury.

If there is no exemption for religious beliefs or just because “I don’t believe in vaccines” then you have a tyranny who is violating the Nuremberg code and the Geneva Accords which ban using uninformed and unwilling people as guinea pigs for testing experimental and dangerous drugs.
Who is going to make the claim that the ends justify the means and that the deaths along the way were for the greater good? Anyone who does may be the next Josef Mengele.
… You are aware that vaccines are tested on willing subjects before being put on the market, right ?
Do try to use this cliché argument in international courts, by all means.
