No to vaccine! "Don't tell me what to do"

Parents participate in statewide walk-out to protest school vaccine mandate

Some parents and students in San Diego's 'South Bay' took part in today's statewide protests against school vaccine mandates. Parents said they are ready to pull their children out of school for good. Some parents and students in San Diego’s ‘South Bay’ took part in today's statewide protests against school vaccine mandates. Parents said they are ready to pull their children out of school for good.

Mother of three, Courtney Sewell said she stands with parents statewide, who are against Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to require the COVID-19 vaccine to all students once the shots are given full FDA approval, which could happen as soon as January. "We won't do it," Sewell said. "We will not give it to our kids, so you leave us no choice but to withdraw all of them."

When asked if any of the parents were vaccinated against COVID-19, none of them said they were.
When we asked if they or their children were vaccinated against other illnesses, almost all of them said they were, saying California public schools required it.
They don't want to be told to get this specific vaccine."This is a freedom of choice , and I honestly don't think that it really goes beyond that," Sewell said.

Dr. Jyotu Sandhu with Sharp Rees-Stealy Hospital said
"When you think of infectious disease, we have to take our minds away from me me me and think of it more as us."

... have their kids get all the other vaccinations the are required to get in CA?

Are these just homeschoolers pissing in the cornflakes of public schools when they don't send their kids there?

Stupid....Stupid...STUPID.

They believe more people are dying of vaccine side effects (heart attacks and other severe reactions) than unvaxxed are dying of Covid.

or find a private school that isn’t mandating vaccinations, have space for these kids and then they can pay thousands and thousands of $$$$ on tuition for years to come - while still paying their school property taxes.
