Letters to the Editor

The long-term risks associated with a measles infection are far more serious than the immediate rash, fever and coughing. Measles attacks the immune system, destroying for years the body’s immune memory.

“Ask your Doctor if they still vaccinate their children.” Yes … please do. You will find that of course they vaccinate the ones they love.

Gov. Gavin Newsom should know that if he doesn’t stop fraudulent vaccinations, then we don’t have bureaucrats making decisions about anyone’s families — we end up with wingnuts making decisions about everyone’s families.

This bill is not about handing over decisions to a government bureaucrat. It is about making sure the medical exemption process for vaccination is held to the standard of that it was meant for.

No, this isn’t just a family decision, its about being part of a larger community where our individual decisions have implications for others.

When our decisions as parents adversely affect the lives of other children, such as not having them fully vaccinated, then the bureaucrats in Sacramento are not making a decision that is very personal.

My nephew was born in the 1960s to my sister and brother-in-law before a vaccine against rubella existed.

I was stunned reading through the “sterberegister” (death registry) from the late 1800s.

Once again, physician and state Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento) is leading the fight to protect people from their worst instincts on vaccines.

The physician who signed off on the vaccine exemption should be liable for malpractice.

To this day, I can recall a particular young boy who we saved only to lose his life a year later for lack of receiving the required booster.
