Permits Consent for STD Vaccinations by 12 year olds
Ask State Senator to Vote No
AB 499, the bill that permits 12 year old children to give consent without their parents' knowledge for vaccines or other medication to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, today advanced to the floor of the CA Senate. It will likely come to a vote within a week. This is the last step before it goes to the Governor to be signed into law.
ACTION
Urge senators to vote NO vote on AB 499. It is bad healthcare policy, and an attack on the rights of parents and the rights of children to have the protection and guidance of their parents.
Talking points, and background |
Please ask your state senator to vote NO on AB 499 today. It is critical to get others to call as well. We must keep up the pressure until the final vote.
This bill is an end run by the pharmaceutical giant Merck to push their vaccine, Gardasil, on California children at taxpayer's expense. A major public outcry in 2007 killed an effort to make the vaccinations mandatory when Merck proposed it then. Now, if AB 499 becomes law, children as young as 12 years old will face coercion from adults motivated by profit or other agendas to receive vaccines that they don't need and could be harmful.
- The Center for Disease Control has reported deaths of 51 girls and 2 boys after being administered Gardasil, just one of the vaccines covered by this bill. There are many more reports of children maimed for life from the drug. (See http://truthaboutgardasil.org/
.) Children are not equipped to evaluate risks and stand up to pressure from adults without the support of their parents. - Former Merck researcher, Dr. Diane Harper says, “It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11- to 12-year-old girls... There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue."
