The world is feeling the effects of an issue that has been simmering in the medical industry since its establishment in the late 1700s and early 1800s: forced health care. Like any other industry, we have been told it is a business. Indeed the Pharmaceutical Industry makes billions of dollars on one drug in one year whether its eventually pulled from the market for lack of efficacy and harm. In the case of opiods hundreds of thousands of lives were taken before attention was called to its harm to consumers. Several lawsuits later, medical professionals are trying to move former opiod patients from one drug to another through "rehabilitation". Sazas, would say, forced medical care threatens the very freedoms American's prize and hold as a beacon of light before the world.
Thousands of Californian parents, teachers and students participated in a statewide walkout protesting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students ages 12 and older. The mandate , the first of its kind in the nation, applies to school children in grades 7 through 12, age 12 and older. It would go into effect July 1, 2022. The FDA has granted only emergency use authorization for COVID-19 shots for children between the ages of 12 and 15. It is expected to grant full approval next spring. Parents protesting at the state Capitol carried signs reading, “My body, my choice,” and “My children won’t be a science experiment to make you feel safe.”
A Los Angeles Unified School District employee, Hovik Saponghian, told SkyFOX that school children shouldn’t be forced to “take something without all the data.”
“I’m here protesting the mandate because we don’t believe that we should take it religiously, ethically or morally,” Saponghian said.
A Los Angeles Unified School District parent, Rima Mkhitran, told SkyFOX she was participating in the rally because “we want our children and our teachers to have a choice.”
In addition to the protest at the Capitol, hundreds of parents and students protested outside of a recent Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District board meeting, voicing their opposition to the mandate.
Students who don’t get the COVID-19 vaccine would be required to complete an independent study course at home. Exemptions for "medical reasons and personal beliefs" would be granted but the details haven’t been finalized yet.
Have you been required to take the COVID 19 Vaccine? By who? Why? How have you and your family been impacted by this?
