Protesters Against Bill Requiring Vaccinations Compare California to Nazi Germany
Spurred by the state Senate's passage this week of a controversial bill that would require vaccinations for more California schoolchildren, dozens of protesters showed up outside the state Democratic Party's convention Saturday to assail the party's leaders in Sacramento.
Toting signs suggesting that Gov. Jerry Brown was destined for hell and depicting a totalitarian state in which Americans are forcibly vaccinated, the demonstrators said they still hope the legislation, SB 277, will not become law.
"I'm not giving up. I will leave this state before I will comply," said Theresa Born, 30, of Westminster.
Born said that her young son was sickened by vaccinations in infancy. As a result, she said, she has avoided giving her other two children all the vaccines required by state law because she worries that they could produce negative reactions.
However, she said, she has not been able to persuade doctors to grant the kind of medical exemption that would apply under the pending legislation.
