Update on the harmful, ineffective Gardasil bill

Monday, August 21, 2023, 10:21 am | Randy Thomasson

Remember, on all important issues, you must make an independent decision based on the evidence, and not take for granted what an authority figure says.

With the bad California bill pushing Gardasil very likely to pass (first because of the Democrat author’s trickery and then because a Democrat committee chair’s amendment to make it easier to pass), you need to warn others that Gardasil, manufactured by pharmaceutical giant Merck, doesn’t protect against cervical cancer but harms many (mostly pre-teens and teens) who are injected with it.

AB 659 still pushes the painful, ineffective, harmful Gardasil shots as “the public policy of the state.” The bill, as amended July 3, is still coercive, reading:

SEC. 4. Section 120336 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

120336. (a) It is the public policy of the state that pupils are recommended to be fully immunized against human papillomavirus (HPV) before admission or advancement to the eighth grade level of any private or public elementary or secondary school.

(b) Upon a pupil’s admission or advancement to the sixth grade level, the governing authority of any private or public elementary or secondary school shall submit to the pupil and their parent or guardian a notification containing a statement about the state’s public policy described in subdivision (a) and advising that the pupil be fully immunized against HPV before admission or advancement to the eighth grade level, in compliance with the notification requirements of Article 4 (commencing with Section 48980) of Chapter 6 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Education Code.

And then the amended AB 659 pushes the same coercion on college students:

SEC. 6. Section 120390.6 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:

120390.6. It is the public policy of the state that students who are 26 years of age or younger are recommended to be fully immunized against human papillomavirus (HPV) before first-time enrollment at an institution of the California State University, the University of California, or the California Community Colleges.

Because of this language, no honest person can say the amended AB 659 is uncoercive. And because of the evidence of harm, no informed person can call Gardasil safe. And because of the facts about cervical cancer, no one can prove Gardasil is effective.

Since the two bad “deals” to amend the bill made it easier for AB 659 to pass, our opposition efforts were stymied. Expect this awful bill to pass the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature by September 14 and be signed by uberliberal Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom by October 14. You can track AB 659’s status here.

But don’t think like a victim. Act now to share with your family members and friends and acquaintances the evidence that Gardasil is ineffective and harmful and not required, no matter what doctors or educrats or politicians or media tell you.

4th International Symposium on Vaccines in Germany (April 2016), Session 7: “Is There Objective Evidence that the Current HPV Vaccination Programs are not Justified?” (see video)
From the session’s conclusion:
Q: Is it ethical to put young women at risk of death or a disabling autoimmune disease at a pre-adolescent age for a vaccine that has not yet prevented a single case of cervical cancer, a disease that may develop 20-30 years after exposure to HPV, when the same can be prevented with regular Pap screening which carries no risks?
A: We don’t know if it can offer any long-term clinical benefit for a disease that is safely preventable through other methods.

AB 957 ALERT: ‘Affirm’ the ‘trans’ delusion, or lose your kids

Saturday, August 12, 2023, 5:20 pm | Randy Thomasson

SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS

AUGUST 21, 2023 UPDATE: This is a war of attrition. Because some of the Democrat state senators know AB 957 is still a bad bill, your anonymous, afterhours voicemail messages are strategic and can wear this bill down and prevent a floor vote. The California State Senate’s next opportunity is Thursday, August 24 at 9am.

If you support parental rights and religious freedom and know the unnatural “trans” agenda is hurting children, please take renewed action by following the directions below in our previous alert. Thank you for caring!

The very immoral, anti-parent bill, AB 957, on the floor of the California State Senate, CAN be defeated with your help this weekend. Because when the Senate returns the afternoon of Monday, August 14, you don’t want them voting on it!

As written, AB 957 is a very bad bill instructing family court judges to disfavor parents who have moral objections to their child “transitioning,” and don’t “affirm.” Bottom line, support the biological facts and get your children taken from you!

Grasp that even the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel’s Office has described AB 957 as: “This bill, for purposes of this provision, would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”

So, as amended July 3, this radically-bad bill continues to require “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression.” Don’t “affirm” your own child’s transsexual delusion — don’t get custody! This is about as anti-parent as it gets.

The Democrat author of AB 957, Lori Wilson (shown above; see her Solano County district) claims her anti-parent, anti-free-speech, anti-religious-freedom, bill is “essential” because all “trans” children need to be “affirmed.” And despite Wilson publicly claiming to be a “Christian,” she ignores what the Bible says about transsexuality being a sin.

What’s the best strategy to stop AB 957 on the floor of the California Senate?

STEP 1: Call your own state senator — at both the district and Capitol offices — and identify yourself, on Monday, August 14, from 9am to 2pm (the Senate floor session begins at 2pm). Leave your message with a staffer or via voicemail. Say something like, “I’m calling to urge Senator ________ to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members’ demand for religious accommodation. Don’t punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!”

STEP 2: Call the 4 Democrat state senators who demanded religious accommodation in AB 957 in the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 13. When you call anonymously and after-hours (7pm-8am and all weekend), quote their own words back to them and call them a liar if they don’t stand up and oppose this anti-parent bill.

Tell them, “In committee, you passed AB 957 on the condition that it be amended to accommodate religious parents. Well, the latest amendments don’t protect them at all. You need to stand up to oppose this bad bill. If you don’t, you lied about it in committee!”

The below quotes are from the June 13 California Senate Judiciary Committee hearing video (start with Senator Allen’s comments at 1:18:48) | transcript (see end of page)

  • Senator Ben Allen 916-651-4024 | 310-318-6994: “I certainly want to make sure that just because someone is religious, for example, and there’s nothing that they do as a parent that would impact the health and welfare and mental well-being of the child — they accept the child’s decisions but they struggle with it themselves – I would certainly want to make sure that person wasn’t dinged under a custody dispute in the context of this bill…I would like the author and the chair to spend some time working together on tightening up some of the language so that we can make sure that a parent — for whom we have no concern about impacting the mental health of the child, but who may have a personal, perhaps a religious, conflict with gender fluidity — wouldn’t be dinged if we don’t have a concern about their ability to be a good parent to that child.”
  • Senator Anna Caballero 916-651-4014 | 559-264-3070: “I want to encourage you to continue the discussion, and I reserve the right not to support it on the floor if it doesn’t change — ’cause I think there’s challenges with exactly what does it mean. And I don’t think we want to send something to the court that causes confusion or wrong decisions.”
  • Senator Angelique Ashby 916-651-4008 | 916-651-1529: “I’m going to support you today, Assemblywoman Wilson, but I’m going to join my colleagues in asking you to work with Senator Umberg as Judiciary Chair on adding some clarifying language.”
  • Senator Tom Umberg (Judiciary Committee Chair) 916-651-4034 | 714-558-3785: “We will continue to work to make sure that the bill, as interpreted by the court, will be done in a way that is consistent with your view and our view of public policy…We will continue to work to make sure that — Senator Allen’s point — that if you have a parent who — perhaps he has a religious belief that is not consistent with someone wishing to transition but is unconditionally loving and tolerant, that that doesn’t preclude that parent having custodial rights. Is that your understanding also?”

STEP 3: Call anonymously 7pm to 8am and all weekend to the deciding-vote Democrats. In your afterhours voicemails, tell them, “I’m calling to urge you to oppose AB 957. The amended bill fails to protect religious parents and violates Senate Judiciary Committee members’ demand for religious accommodation. Don’t punish otherwise good parents by taking away their kids. Oppose the amended AB 957!”

Who and what is ruining California?

Saturday, August 5, 2023, 10:03 am | Randy Thomasson

If you’ve ever wondered what’s ruining California, stop feeding the beast.

Do you know why people are moving out of California? Do you know what’s causing all the big problems? Democrat Party politicians have been in control of the California Legislature for more than sixty years, and in control of the governor’s office for more than 12 years now.

Don’t believe it? Democrat Party legislators have controlled the 40-member State Senate since 1957 (except for 1969-1970) and the 80-member State Assembly since 1959 (except for 1969-1970 and, for all practical purposes, in 1996).

What’s keeping these unloving, problem-causing, pain-increasing Democrats in power? Multi-millions in campaign spending by unions – both government and private unions – that’s what’s fueling Democrat victories year after year.

As reported in 2021 after Gavin Newsom “won” his recall election, “Organized labor donated at least $25.7 million — or more than one-third of the total the governor raised to keep his job. Unions, of course, have deep ties to the Democratic Party and a stake in nearly every aspect of state government.”

But fortunately, the First Amendment still stands, and there are U.S. Supreme Court rulings in favor of every union members who wants to stop paying for bad candidates and bad bills.

In the 1988 Beck decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled all union members can opt out of paying for a union’s partisan political activities.

And in the 2018 Janus decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that, under the First Amendment, government employees are entitled to work without paying union dues or agency fees.

You have strong, fundamental free-speech rights to not be coerced into supporting union politics. And your rights prevail despite the deceitful, domestic terrorism of union bosses trying to circumvent Janus.

Now that you’ve unpeeled the onion and found the rotten core, will you stop “feeding” and funding the beast?

In 2011, Andy Stern, former president of the Services Employees International Union (SEIU), admitted that unions have Marxist roots. “In the ’30s,” he said, “people didn’t want us to exist. We had to do sit-down strikes . . . we had socialist and communist tendencies. We grew up, to speak in Marxist terms, in a world with a lot more class struggle.” Modern Marxists, for their part, feel a similar warmth towards unions—they say that unions are useful to their goals, but not radical enough.
