Federal judge denies injunction against California vaccination law for schoolchildren

A federal judge has denied a request for a preliminary injunction against a new law that requires children in California’s public and private schools to be vaccinated unless they have a medical waiver from a licensed doctor.
In an order released Friday afternoon, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego wrote that state Legislatures have “a long history of requiring children to be vaccinated as a condition to school enrollment, and for as many years, both state and federal courts have upheld those requirements against constitutional challenge.”
In July, a group of parents and advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit asking for the injunction. It is trying to block the California law's elimination of personal belief exemptions, which previously allowed parents to enroll their children even if they weren't up-to-date on the full vaccination schedule as published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sabraw's ruling will allow the law to continue working as it has, but the group’s lawsuit against the state of California will continue. The plaintiffs include three families from San Diego County.

NOTE: Importantly, although omitted from MSM reports, SB277 also applies to infants entering daycare and children enrolling in preschool (public or private) in California.

I'm glad my own kids didn't have to suffer that.

Most anti-vaccine cultists don't know what they are missing.
My dad remembers summers when parents were afraid to let their children out of the house because of polio.
Some of my schoolmate's parents, aunts, and uncles had been severely damaged by polio.
I'm on the autistic spectrum somewhere, with an Outback Onion Blossom side order of mental illness, but I know damned well it's not because of vaccines. Quite a few of my pre-vaccine ancestors were just like me.
My wife and I made sure our kids were vaccinated, and it wasn't always easy because we had no money at the time and had to navigate the public health system, waiting for the vaccines an hour or two with other families in the clinic's hallway, not even enough chairs for everyone.
Keeping unvaccinated kids out of school helps, but we've also got to figure out what's wrong with our society that certain people won't vaccinate their kids.
Maybe you can understand it in other nations, as when morons in the CIA used vaccination clinics as a means of infiltration, so maybe a lesser sort of that thing is happening here in the U.S.A.. The money-grubbing captains of the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA that regulates them do not inspire confidence. We ought to pass some laws that discourage the worst sorts of behavior by the pharmaceutical industry, and it might be inspiring to see a few big pharm executives thrown into prison and the companies they run shut down in the same manner as rotten banks.
Well that really brightened my day... 
Idiot denialists.
