Dachel Wake Up: CA SB277 Richard Panavision
By Anne Dachel
The Sacramento Bee gave space for Richard Pan to write this opinion piece on how fortunate California parents are that their lawmakers have taken away their rights as parents to choose a medical intervention.
The message here is that unvaccinated children are a danger to us all---AND it's clear that Pan will scrutinize any medical exemption a doctor might give, since he openly accuses California doctors here of fraud for giving exemptions. Ha also accuses homeschooling parents of evading the law---so he intends to go after them too.
This is medical fascism, and more is coming. Pan doesn't make idle threats. It's time for doctors and parents in California to contact the Bee and ask for EQUAL TIME. Not only do parents not have the right to decide if their child is vaccinated or not, BUT doctors can have their medical opinion questioned too, as revealed by Pan's veiled threats here.
August 5, 2016, Sacramento Bee: New vaccine law making schools safer by re-establishing community immunity
By Richard Pan
In past years, about 35,000 began the school year without the benefit of vaccines that guard themselves and their classmates against deadly communicable diseases. But this school year will be different, and for many parents, it offers hope for safer schools.
Last year, after an outbreak of measles at Disneyland that sickened more than a hundred people across our state and country, I and state Sen. Ben Allen authored Senate Bill 277, which was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown.
This August marks the first school year that children starting school must have required vaccines unless they have a medical exemption from a physician. The number of children without the required vaccines at school enrollment had skyrocketed by 337 percent since 2000, raising the risk of outbreaks of preventable serious diseases such as measles....
For so many parents and communities, an increase could not come soon enough. Recently, two babies, one in Stockton and the other in San Diego, died of whooping cough.
There are also children with cancer, transplants or other conditions forced to miss school because their immune systems are unable to fight off disease or to be protected by vaccines; they simply can’t risk being in a classroom with an unvaccinated schoolmate who exposes students to measles, chicken pox or other contagious diseases....
But even as parents look forward to the implementation of SB 277, we are aware that opponents are looking for ways to evade the law. Charter schools are being reorganized as “homeschool co-ops.” Some unscrupulous physicians are abusing their licensing privileges to market medical exemptions for parents willing to pay to enroll their children in school without required vaccines, undermining children’s health and school safety for profit.
However, Californians want to live in communities free of preventable diseases and to have safe schools. I continue to work with parents on effective implementation of SB 277 throughout the state and, if necessary, will support further legislation needed to restore community immunity in our state.
The Sacramento Bee has an obligation to give equal voice to the opponents of SB277. Pan made very clear threats here against doctors and parents. At the same time he expressed only his opinion on forced vaccination in California. Nothing was said about the liability protection both doctors and vaccine makers enjoy when it comes to vaccine injury. Pan could say nothing about how each child is examined to determine if they may be susceptible to vaccine side effects because no one has ever done research on inherent susceptibility.
Furthermore, the Sacramento Bee had their own story on pharma ties Pan and other Democrats have.
June 18, 2015, Jim Miller wrote, Drug companies donated millions to California lawmakers before vaccine debate for the Sacramento Bee.
While the title was a bit misleading since it was Democratic lawmakers, most notably Dr. Pan, who were on the receiving end for millions in pharma money, it's clear that parents have a right to question just whose interests were being served by SB277.
Someone needs to explain to me how it could be legal for a person serving in the state legislature to promote a bill that he will personally profit from. Pan hasn't given up his medical practice and if every parent in the state has to have their child vaccinated, clearly doctors will profit from the legislation. (My friend, San Francisco doctor, Ken Stoller, has told me that this is a violation of California law.)
Dr. Richard Pan is a pediatrician, former UC Davis educator, and State Senator proudly representing Sacramento, West Sacramento, Elk Grove and unincorporated areas of Sacramento County. He is Chair of the Senate Committee on Public Employment and Retirement and the Senate Select Committee on Children with Special Needs, and he also serves on the Senate Committees on Agriculture, Budget and Fiscal Review, Education, and Health. Dr. Pan continues to practice pediatrics at WellSpace Health in Oak Park.
And finally...the autism epidemic shows no signs of going away in California, and while it's not the main issue here, it is related. Calling this disaster "better diagnosing" is pure fantasy, and I'm sure Pan and the rest of his crew plan to be out of office by the time the state is bankrupt because of it.
See. past coverage on California:
Anne Dachel is Media Editor for Age of Autism.
Who, exactly, is telling Pan that the public demands schools operate in a germ free, experimental laboratory-like environments? The idea is ludicrous! Should politicians be forced to pass psychological tests before taking the oath of office? He's making me think it may be a good idea.
Let's take care of all of this with a simple "hold harmless" agreement that all parents and prospective parents sign upon pregnancy, or the birth or adoption of a child.
"Recognizing the scientific fact that germs are not visible to the naked eye and that all humans and animals carry germs, the majority of which have yet to be discovered and labeled by man, all which have the ability to mutate positively or negatively within our constantly changing environments and functionally may cause illness in some humans but not others due to incalculable differences in DNA, epigenetic triggers, and shifting levels of nutrition and toxic loads, I agree to hold harmless all other human beings and animals for all known and unknown germs they carry and spread which may or may not affect the health of our children and ourselves and we agree that individuals own and are solely responsible for the state of their DNA and immune system, and agree to voluntarily quarantine ourselves upon feeling symptoms of acute illness until such symptoms have dissipated."

Bob Moffit, you took the words 'right out of my mouth'. I had written:
George Orwell warned about this in his book 1984 and the Nazi party delivered it during WW2.
As a UK citizen (with vaccine injured grandchildren), we are not there yet, but where US leads, UK usually follows. Unfortunately, people here are even more unaware of the dangers than the people in US. However, our vaccine schedule is increasing and I fear the increase in vaccine injury is inevitable.
Thank goodness for Vaxxed!

My comment..... What about the vaccination status of all District office employees? Teachers, Substitute Teachers, Administrators, Office staff, Counseling staff, Contract employees such at Speech, OT. PT. APE, AT, Aides, Substitute Aides, Food Service workers, Substitute Food service workers, Custodial staff, Substitute Custodial Staff, Grounds Keeping staff, Delivery personnel. Coaches. Thousands of possible unvaccinated who have daily contact with the students.

In my day, we never worried about the immuno-compromised or the kids with cancer because they were so few and far between. Sort of like the peanut allergies. I didn't know any kids with peanut allergies in the 60s. What have we done to our children? Our medical system has experienced a serious regression! Making progress keeping children with cancer alive pales in comparison to the lack of progress in stopping the incidence of children with cancer in the first place.

Bob:
Can it be possible this man .. supposedly a doctor .. does not know the potential consequences to the "immuno-compromised" .. that "recently vaccinated present to them?
No he doesn't nor does he care because he isn't a genuine doctor concerned about the health & welfare of his patient. He's in it for the money. This is one of those situation where this applies:
money is the source of all evil.
If you read the CDC's website they state that children/people who are immuno -compromised CAN be vaccinated. They just need to wait until they finish their treatment.

Richard Pan must provide evidence that unvaccinated children are a threat to anyone. I have a very clear view of the risks involved, and it goes like this, when you choose to vaccinate you render it certain that some of these children will be diagnosed as autistic at some time or another. When you do not choose to vaccinate you run the risk that your child will contract a range of conditions some of which may be serious but it is certainly no greater than a risk. The difference is that some vaccinated children will certainly become autistic whilst those who are unvaccinated will never be autistic. Why can influential people like Richard Pan simply con people into believing that vaccinated people are healthier than unvaccinated people? It is demonstrably untrue and they must be forced to acknowledge this fact or disprove it.

Anne: I have a feeling Pan is going to get slapped down on Friday in federal court. Certainly his pal, Dr. Charity Dean, will; that's a certainty. She has violated both civil and criminal statutes in attempting to deprive California children of constitutional rights under color of authority, while receiving moral support from Dorit Reiss. The paper trail is right there in the court documents. I suggest anyone who has a few hours to spare read all 89 pages of the claim. It's powerful. Thank you for all you do.

Dr Pan writes:
"There are also children with cancer, transplants or other conditions forced to miss school because their immune systems are unable to fight off disease or to be protected by vaccines; they simply can’t risk being in a classroom with an unvaccinated schoolmate who exposes students to measles, chicken pox or other contagious diseases...."
Can it be possible this man .. supposedly a doctor .. does not know the potential consequences to the "immuno-compromised" .. that "recently vaccinated present to them?
Consider ... it is common knowledge among physicians and public health officials that recently vaccinated individuals can spread disease and that contact with the immunocompromised can be especially dangerous .. as evidenced by the following:
Johns Hopkins Hospital Patient Guide warns the immunocompromised to “Avoid contact with children who are recently vaccinated,” and to “Tell friends and family who are sick, or have recently had a live vaccine (such as chicken pox, measles, rubella, intranasal influenza, polio or smallpox) not to visit.”
A statement on the website of St. Jude’s Hospital warns parents not to allow people to visit children undergoing cancer treatment if they have received oral polio or smallpox vaccines within four weeks, have received the nasal flu vaccine within one week, or have rashes after receiving the chickenpox vaccine or MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine.
In addition ...
June 18, 2015, Jim Miller wrote, Drug companies donated millions to California lawmakers before vaccine debate for the Sacramento Bee ..... "Democratic lawmakers, most notably Dr. Pan, were on the receiving end for millions in pharma money, it's clear that parents have a right to question just whose interests were being served by SB277."
Apparently our new "1984 .. Orwellian" language has changed what once were ILLEGAL BRIBES .. into LEGAL CAMPAIGN DONATIONS .. whereby state "lawmakers" can safely enjoy lucrative profits by SELLING THEIR VOTES TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER .. all the while pretending they are "doing it to protect our kids".
WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THOSE WHO SUFFER MORAL AND ETHICAL BANKRUPTCY .. RULE.
