Mandating COVID Vaccines for Children
I’ve certainly criticized Gavin Newsom, but he’s been very good on vaccine mandates and we definitely need more of this:
In another aggressive effort to stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure schools remain open, Gov. Gavin Newsom today announced a vaccine mandate for students ages 12 and older, making California the first state in the nation to require students to be fully vaccinated for in-person instruction.
The mandate would add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required immunizations, which includes mumps, measles and rubella. Newsom issued this order in the aftermath of similar mandates from the state’s largest districts, Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified.
I recognize this gets in the way of FREEDOM, which is increasingly defined as 13 year olds drinking a fifth of Tito’s and then driving a tractor on the freeway. So it will outrage half the nation in this fine, fine country we have here.
