California Says NO To More Vaccines
planetc1.com-news email to the editor

According to a newsletter from FEAT (Families for Early Autism Treatment), this past Wednesday, the State of California Legislature said no to two bills that would have added six new shots to the states already overcrowded childhood immunization schedule. The current schedule recommends some 39 doses of various vaccines by the age of two years old.

Wednesdays action was the first time in California's history that legislation involving the adding of new vaccines to the mandatory childhood immunization list has been defeated. The two new immunizations being required were for Hepatitis A and Prevnar, a vaccine that has reportedly been falsely promoted as an ear ache preventative vaccine.

Both bills passed the California State Assembly without opposition and on nearly unanimous votes. While the bills were strongly supported by the vaccine manufacturers and the public health community before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Wednesday, it was the testimony of two parents, a mother whose baby was killed by vaccines, and the father of a vaccine induced autistic son whose testimony before the committee resulted in the bills failing passage. According to the FEAT newsletter, it was a classic case of David vs. Goliath.
