California doubles down on COVID legislation
American Thinker ^ | 7 Mar, 2022 | Terry Paulding

Posted on 03/07/2022 5:59:07 AM PST by MtnClimber

The California legislature is now pushing to make our state the most COVID restricted in the country. This, despite Governor Newsom stating he’s moving to treat the virus as endemic. There are 8 bills in all and every one is a misinformed boondoggle.

Here’s how NPR summarizes the various bills lined up in Sacramento. I’ve added my comments in brackets:

-SB 871 would require all children 0 to 17 to get the COVID-19 vaccine to attend child care or school;

-SB 866 would allow kids 12 to 17 to get the COVID-19 vaccine without parental consent;

-SB 1479 would require schools to continue testing and to create testing plans; SB 1018 would require online platforms to be more transparent about how information is pushed out to consumers;

-SB 1464 would force law enforcement officials to enforce public health orders;

-AB 1993 would require all employees, including independent contractors, to show proof of COVID-19 vaccine to work in California [in other words, it’s a universal vaccine mandate, with California as the universe];

-AB 1797 would make changes to the California Immunization Record Database [changes that would require people’s vaccine status to be maintained publicly;

-AB 2098 would reclassify the sharing of COVID-19 “misinf -ormation” by doctors and surgeons as unprofessional conduct that would result in disciplinary action [never mind that muzzling doctors who might question the questionable COVID orthodoxy is hardly constitutional and is nevertheless already being done to some extent].

Need I mention that there is a Democrat supermajority in both houses of the California legislature? Must I say that we have open primaries, ranked-choice voting, universal mail-in voting, no restrictions on vote harvesting?

It is almost futile to try stopping this out-of-control mess, although we must try! I’d suggest all California citizens start furiously writing and calling

I just RSVP'ed to my HS's 50th reunion. It's scheduled for October, but there's no need to hold out any hope that travel restrictions will be lifted by then.

It gave me a convenient excuse: not worth it to travel 2000 miles for a 6 hour get together with people I have not seen, or corresponded with, for 50 years.

CA is a lost cause. No matter how much abuse the Dems dish out, the public laps it up and asks for more.

Enforce health orders not the law.

If your hate your kids, stay in Kalifornistan.

The only state with a border patrol against other states except Mexico…. And now against Californians themselves… What does that tell you except Hotel California is real.

California’s government is corrupt & beyond redemption. There is no way for the other side to win any kind of election anymore.

If anyone thinks they are immune from this because they are not in Ca... Think again. What Ca is allowed to get away with spreads everywhere like a cancer.

Everything we are dealing with nationally right now all came from Ca first.

From the article:


AB 1993 would require all employees, including independent contractors, to show proof of COVID-19 vaccine to work in California [in other words, it’s a universal vaccine mandate, with California as the universe];

Courts already addressed this; probably gonna get shot down again.

That violates the 4th amendment:

““The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

I know that Democrats are dumb. And Democrat politicians are, on average, even dumber. But all of their gung-ho vax mandates are premised on the notion of the vaxxes actually prevent infection or transmission. Who in their right mind still believes that?

The democrats are not dumb or stupid. They know precisely what they are doing. The more apt description of them is that they are evil.
