Yesterday U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego denied a request to stay the requirements of the California #SB277. This law would require all kindergarteners and seventh graders in public and private schools across the state must prove they are fully inoculated against 10 different diseases, from diphtheria to tetanus, unless they have a medical exemption form signed by a licensed doctor.

This lawsuit was filed July 1 for an injunction against the state mandate. One of three in process through the courts for this purpose, this suit is the first to be dismissed. The good judge stated point blank in this case:

"... Supreme Court has reiterated the fundamental rights under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution do not overcome the State’s interest ..."

This judge, like her compatriot Catherine Martin, the Director of the California Immunization Coalition, feels "the needs of the whole" come first. The whole, as in the collective. The whole as in the imagined greater being created when individuals decide to group. They are worried about "herd immunity", but themselves abdicated responsibility for considering the terms and concepts used in public discussion in context long ago.

Let's be real: If you are vaccinated, your school aged kids are vaccinated and an un-vaccinated kid is introduced to the school you are NOT somehow in danger from the things you were vaccinated against. I concede there is danger for those who cannot be vaccinated: the very young and those with weak immune systems; but these society members pose the same risk to you as the un-vaccinated: none. Further, herd immunity is a concept most never take a second to consider. It is an idea too describe a security posture; not a real thing to "protect".

Give me 2 minutes of your time; I'll explain in this short 2 minute video. The primary conversation needs to be focused on individual liberty. The state does not have rights. The state is a concept. You are real. Slow down and think for yourself. #forcedpenetration is not OK regardless your personal choice.
