Opinion: Childhood Vaccine Bill Debate Is Far From Over

"It's far too early for supporters" of a bill (SB 277) that would end personal belief exemptions for childhood vaccinations "to raise a celebratory toast," Los Angeles Times reporter Mariel Garza writes in an opinion piece. Garza writes that the bill must first clear the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose members likely are hearing from hundreds of "very impassioned ... anti-vaxxers," before going for votes in the full Senate and Assembly, adding, "Then there's the question of our Jesuit-trained governor, who supports religious exemptions."
