California: Wealthy Obtain Medical Exemptions for Children to Avoid Vaccinations
April 9th, 2019Roughly the same people who don’t allow or severely restrict screentime for their children are also not vaccinating them.
Now there’s a problem with, “Unethical physicians,” who are granting these exemptions.
Fascinating.

At two public charter schools in the Sonoma wine country town of Sebastopol, more than half the kindergartners received medical exemptions from state-required vaccines last school year. The cities of Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Nevada City, Arcata and Sausalito all had schools in which more than 30% of the kindergartners had been granted such medical exemptions.
Nearly three years ago, with infectious disease rates ticking up, California enacted a fiercely contested law barring parents from citing personal or religious beliefs to avoid vaccinating their children. Children could be exempted only on medical grounds, if the shots were harmful to health.
Yet today, many of the schools that had the highest rates of unvaccinated students before the new measure continue to hold that alarming distinction. That’s because parents have found end runs around the new law requiring vaccinations.
