Title: Political Theater for AB2109: O’Shea’s Account of the CA Assembly Health Committee Hearing

Episode Number: 121

Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar

Show Date: 04/21/12

Run Time: 76:53

Description:  BREAKING NEWS—  Dr. Tim O’Shea joins us once again to give us a “fly on the wall” account on what amounted to be “Political Theatrics” at its best, as the California Assembly Health Committee voted to approve proposed bill AB2109 on April 17, 2012.  If enacted into law, this California bill will make it mandatory for parents to talk with a medical physician if they choose to exercise their RIGHT to exempt their child from the compulsory vaccine schedule needed for school attendance because it counters a philosophical belief of theirs. 

If you don’t live in California and are thinking this doesn’t affect you…. think again.  While this bill has very little do directly with chiropractic…. it has EVERYTHING to do with your RIGHTS as a parent to make decisions for your child free of government mandated handholding and oversight…. This is just one  of the many boils on the butt of a much larger dragon that must be slayed!  Ignore this boil, though, and we’re all cooked.

Title: Vaccination Exemptions: Government Looking to Control Parental Decision Making in California (AB2109)

Episode Number: 120

Host: Dr. Thomas Lamar

Show Date: 03/13/12

Run Time: 41:53

Description:  BREAKING NEWS—  Like a thief in the night  last year, it happened in Washington State.  And now it’s poised and ready to happen in California.  And if it happens in California, you can rest assure that the rest of the states will fall in line like dominos.

On February 23, 2012,  Democratic California assembly member, and  pediatric physician, Dr. Richard Pan, introduced Assembly Bill 2109 regarding vaccination exemptions.

“This bill, if passed, would require parents to obtain the signature of a ‘health care practitioner’ for a personal beliefs/religious exemption. MDs, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants can sign. Naturopaths and chiropractors cannot. The signature will need to be obtained on a separate form provided by the Department of Public Health, which states that the health care practitioner has provided risk and benefit information to the parent.”
