SACRAMENTO, California (LifeSiteNews) — A California bill to let children be injected with COVID-19 vaccines without parental consent was scrapped last week after it failed to generate sufficient support. The bill’s author blamed a “small but highly vocal and organized minority of anti-vaxxers” for crushing the legislation.
SB 866, authored by California Democratic State Sen. Scott Wiener, would have allowed children ages 15 and up to get any vaccine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even without parental knowledge or approval. An earlier version of the measure had put the age limit at 12, but the limit was amended in an unsuccessful effort to draw more support, Fox News reported.
If the legislation had passed, California children would have been able to receive the experimental mRNA COVID-19 jabs even if their parents objected. The FDA and CDC have both approved the Pfizer and Moderna jabs for children and babies ages six months and up.
