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."

2. This protest was a complete bust.

Of those reports that had numbers, I counted only 112 people
In the entire state participated in this protest.

I notice NPR provided very little in total numbers.

But this report actually did some well...reporting.

"On Monday afternoon, a district official told NBC 7 that the day's attendance rate —90.91% — was slightly less than last Monday's, when 92.36% of students were in class. There are more than 103,000 students in the district, according to San Diego Unified."

So one public school system had maybe a 1.45 percent participation rate in the protest. That's high because you have to assume no one was out sick, not likely in a pandemic.

So the protest was a complete bust.
