CA Lawmakers Targeting Kids and Working Classes for Mandatory COVID Vaccines
Why no such requirement for California’s largest-in-the-nation population of welfare recipients and homeless?
By Katy Grimes, February 22, 2022 8:28 am
“Dr. Richard Pan Introduces Measure to Keep Schools Open and Safe,” reads the headline on Sen. Richard Pan’s official Senate website. And then the truth comes next: “Bill Would Close Personal Exemption Loophole for COVID-19 School Vaccinations, Builds on Success of SB 277 Law.”
California lawmakers also are mandating all businesses to require their employees and independent contractors receive the COVID-19 vaccine under legislation announced February 10th by State Democrats.
State employees and legislative staffers are required to be vaccinated, even though Assembly members are not.
If the COVID vaccine is really about saving lives, why isn’t the mandate evenly applied?
Press play to hear a narrated version of this story, presented by AudioHopper.
Why are lawmakers requiring children and the working classes to get vaccinated, when no such requirement exists for California’s largest-in-the-nation population of welfare recipients and homeless? Welfare recipients and homeless receive government checks. One in three of the nation’s welfare recipients are in California, nearly 4 million that we know of.
Why are California’s lawmakers and Gov. Newsom pushing more COVID vaccines when COVID cases and hospitalizations are dramatically down, and the Omicron variant is dissipating? Why when other states and countries are ending all COVID restrictions and getting back to normal? And why when doctors report children are not COVID-19 super spreaders, according to study after study?
As for mandatory vaccines for school children with no allowable exemptions, we’ve been down this path with Sen. Pan (D-Sacramento) and vaccine requirements. In 2015 the California Legislature passed and then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed Sen. Pan’s SB 277, which eliminated all personal and religious exemptions for state-mandated vaccines for California’s schoolchildren, and also after then-Assemblyman Pan promised parents he would not eliminate the exemption.
No legislation needed.
Schools are already open.
They’re already safe. https://t.co/6JL60YApis

January 24, 2022 Senator Dr. Richard Pan introduced the “Keep Schools Open and Safe Act, to close the personal belief exemption loophole for school-based vaccination requirements for COVID-19,” Sen. Pan’s website says. “My legislation will give parents great certainty that their child is unlikely to get seriously sick and their school will stay open during COVID.”
“The Keep Schools Open and Safe Act builds on SB 277, also sponsored by Dr. Pan, which eliminated the personal belief exemption loophole for all other childhood vaccinations required for public and private school students when it became law in 2015. After passage of SB 277, vaccination rates dramatically increased for childhood diseases such as measles.”
If the goal is to administer more vaccines, then Sen. Pan achieved is on-track. Sen. Pan receives more contributions from Health Professionals than from Public Sector Unions, according to VoteSmart. And that doesn’t include campaign contributions from Pharmaceuticals & Health Products, Health Services, and Hospitals & Nursing Homes, VoteSmart reports.
“Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a statewide school vaccination mandate, but under state law, only the Legislature may remove the personal belief exemption” Sen. Pan’s website says… Regardless of parents’ personal or religious beliefs, or other children in a family who have been vaccine injured.
This goes hand-in-hand with Senate Bill 866, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), to allow children 12 years and older to vaccinate without receiving consent from their parents, introduced in the Senate recently – a bill equally unpopular with parents who are concerned that children under 18 are still not legally adults and may not fully understand what a vaccination entails for them.
In October, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a new mandate to require school children to get the COVID-19 vaccine in order to be allowed to attend school.
Putting this mandate into perspective, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley replied, “Gavin Newsom just announced a vaccine mandate for K-12 students, days after opposing one for prison guards. California kids made the mistake of not giving millions to his campaigns.”
Senator Melissa Melendez weighed in as well: “This is a decision that should have been decided upon by the legislature, not mandated by the governor. It’s also a fine example of what a modern day dictatorship looks like.”
As for who is contributing to Gov. Newsom, Assemblyman Kevin Kiley (R-Granite Bay) unloads:”Newsom said at a news conference that teachers unions won’t let him end the mask mandate. At least he no longer tries to hide who’s really in charge,” Assemblyman Kiley Tweeted.
Newsom said at a news conference that teachers unions won't let him end the mask mandate. At least he no longer tries to hide who's really in charge.

As the Globe reports, and confirmed by this article in the Sac Bee, Pan and speaker Atkins are the top recipients of pharma contributions. (https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article24913978.html). Mostly “D” but a couple of “R” as well are on this list.

Katy asked if the COVID vaccine is really about saving lives, why isn’t the mandate evenly applied? While state employees and legislative staffers are required to be vaccinated, members of the legislature are not? No doubt Senator Dr. Richard Pan and the rest of the deep-state/dark-cult Democrat cabal that controls California’s legislature know that the experimental mRNA COVID shots are neither safe or effective in preventing COVID? Maybe they are receiving payoffs from big pharma to push the shots?
I agree 100%…nailed it
Some of the medical and legal ‘Experts’ who have taken a stand AGAINST vaccines (Reminder: virus never isolated)
Kary Mullis (deceased) inventor of PCR; Dr. Robert Malone (mrna inventor); Dr. Michael Yeadon, former Pfizer VP; Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Childrens Health Defense; Dr. Bryan Ardis; Reiner Fuellmich (1,000 lawyers, 10k doctors) prosecuting Premeditated Murder, Crimes Against Humanity; Tom Renz, Atty; Dr. Luc Montagnier, warned of Aids in vax; Dr Franc Zalewski, shows parasites in vax; Dr. David Martin, tracked patents.
Where is their ‘Science’? Why does Pfizer want data sealed for 75 years? Why has the CEO of Moderna, sold his stocks and deleted Twitter?
This sums it all up, doesn’t it? These discrepancies put the lie to our Dear Leaders crap about the vaccine’s necessity for all (or for anyone). Sure puts money in pockets though. We see what you’re doing. You’re needlessly hurting (and killing) people for a mess of pottage, with Pediatrician Pan leading the charge. For shame! Hope we’ll see you all behind bars, and the sooner the better.
Yeah. The guy is a pediatrician and he seems to be tone deaf to the scientific evidence being published; that the vaccines are not very effective against Omicron. And even LESS so for the children who are not an “at risk” population! (https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220121/Vaccines-alone-are-ineffective-against-the-widely-circulating-Omicron-variant.aspx). Pan needs to be voted out of office or recalled, along with the other legislators like him.
Comrades
You know the reason…..
Ca…..CHING
Yes, it is about money. However, keep in mind several things: 1. The masks, PCR tests, and the injections are making billionaires into multi billionaires. It is not JUST the injections that are so lucrative, thus pushed.
Think about the WHOLE agenda of this technocratic group. “You will own nothing.” The immigrants and homeless own virtually nothing, so are not being targeted right now.
Dang, I remember you from calwatchdog.com
Me too. A daily ray of sunshine, forever!
Let’s go see if Pan is one of Klaus Schwab’s minions in the “Young Global Leaders” communist/fascist training camp….
Maybe he’s trying to demonstrate his bona fides if he isn’t… he votes like he’s one of “them”….
Has anyone ever done a deep dive on the campaign contributions of these politicos?
Follow the money…

That’s a lot of money……..thanks for posting that.
Why was that piece of garbage Pan even elected. His picture should be shown under the definition of feces.
That’s an insult to feces. At least feces can fertilize plants.
Asks Buffy Jo Wicks, if this experimental clot shot injures me will you be picking up the tab for my medical expenses and loss of income? Because the drug companies sure won’t as they have no liability.
The pandemic is over. Any such legislation is for political enrichment. I think even the liberal California courts will see that.
