SB277 is intended to boost vaccination rates after a measles outbreak at Disneyland that sickened more than 100 in the U.S. and Mexico. It has prompted the most contentious legislative debate of the year with thousands of opponents taking to social media and legislative hearings to protest the legislation.

The Assembly Health Committee approved the legislation 12-6 Tuesday evening with one lawmaker abstaining, sending it to the full Assembly for its final legislative hurdle.

If the bill becomes law, California would join Mississippi and West Virginia as the only states with such strict requirements.


At the bottom of the article, one Assemblyman compared the bill's authors to Nazis...except the rampant use of alternative medicine (especially homeopathy) in Hitler's regime and this 1932 cartoon from Der Stuermer (note the difference in features of the doctor and the mother) says otherwise:

I'll just get the obvious Godwin out of the way, and say that's complete BS.
