I saw that group trying to get signatures. They were presenting it as a referendum to "keep our children in school", NOT to repeal mandatory vaccination. People were signing "to keep kids in school" and then in the small print it was about repealing mandatory vaccination. I was really angry about them lying to people about what they were signing. If it's such a good thing, don't freaking lie to people about it. I wonder how many of those "signatures" were based on lies.

 

You are absolutely right, I believe that people should have the right to decide for themselves, including the right to honest petitions.

 

It should not be mandatory in my view.

 

The government should have no right to tell people what goes into their bodies. If vaccines are so effective, the crowd that has been vaccinated should have nothing to worry about from the unvaccinated crowd.

 

Not necessarily. Small pox for instance could be really bad news. Many of us older folks that were childhood immunized might need boosters.

This is one hard one to call really.

 

We voted in winning numbers for DOMA twice ,Prop H8te, & Prop 87 & look where we got with those ...

 

Good luck. The government in CA tells the people what to do. Not the other way around.

 

I agree with TXprep. I do not like mandatory vaccine laws even though I think the anti vaccine crowd are wrong. Since you have one law requiring public schooling you have to be careful of too many other laws. The kids not vaccinated should be put into separate schools to accommodate the parents at a price. They should pay extra for the privileged of allowing there kids to be exposed to all the other non vaccinated kids. Those that home school have to pay so I do not see where the problem would be.

I suspect a lot of the anti-vax parents might rethink the idea after covering the costs.
