And here's where they are in LA County:
How'd we get here? Per this article-
In April 1977, a Childhood Immunization Initiative was announced with two goals: attainment of immunization levels of 90% in the nation's children by October 1979 and establishment of a permanent system to provide comprehensive immunization services to the 3 million children born each year in the United States. Increased funding was provided through Section 317, and a major effort was made to review vaccination records of school children and vaccinate those in need. State and local public health personnel reviewed >28 million records during a 2-year period. In addition, state and local authorities enacted and enforced school immunization requirements. By 1980, all 50 states had such laws, and since 1981, immunization levels of students entering schools have been ≥95%. Thus, the first target of the initiative was met.(emphasis added) Achieving the second target would take considerably longer.
I'm all for health care that...well...cares for health. I'm also for the rights of the individual, am against force and fraud, and for plenary parental rights.
The issue isn't whether injecting all of those elixirs into young bodies is right, wrong, efficacious, or poisonous. However, let's HAVE that discussion. I mean...what do the vaccinated have to fear?
The issue is the rights of PARENTS vs the State. If you oppose progressive educational nonsense and indoctrination, then you MUST oppose mandatory vaccinations for public school.
