California bill would allow preteens to be vaccinated without parents' consent

Currently in California, minors ages 12 to 17 cannot be vaccinated without permission from their parents or guardian, unless the vaccine is specifically to prevent a sexually transmitted disease

I'm looking for more information on this. Anyone got any accurate factual information on the propose new law?

Did a bit more internet research:

Keep in mind, they've already broken that seal; in California a 12 year old girl uterus having person can get birth control pills, or an abortion, without parental consent or even notification.

"Do you provide services to minors?

Yes. Under California law, minors can access reproductive health care, obtain birth control, and receive abortion services without parental notification or parental consent. The one exception is that minors must be at least 12 years old to consent to and obtain sexually transmitted infections testing and treatment without parental notification."

So once you've taken the attitude that a 12 year old has full bodily autonomy without parental consent, it's not a huge step to move to a 12 year old can override their parent's choices in regards to vaccinations (Not just COVID mind you, but all of them.)

In defense of this proposed law they're even leveraging what I said initially, that they've already broken that seal, so come on already, what's the big deal? (Sarcasm)

"Responding to criticism that the bill would limit parents' oversight of their children's health, Wiener said that California state law already allows people 12 and older to consent to the Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and to treatments for sexually transmitted infections, substance abuse and mental health disorders.

“This is not a new or radical idea, it's very consistent with existing law,” he said."

Edit - Forgot this is California, corrected the term "girl" to the California compliant language.

Prior to retiring (over the years) I was invited to fly out to the West Coast and interview for a few manager positions (4 times). Each time I turned the offers down (admittedly for financial/economic reasons) but, stuff like this makes me glad I never took one of those management positions while my offspring were under my roof.
