Bill Summary and Call To Action
California Senate Bill 866
VIOLATION OF PARENTAL CONSENT
Bill Would Allow Minors to be Vaccinated Without Parental Consent.
Undermines Parents’ Decision-Making For Their Own Children.
Sets Up Our Children For Injury and Possibly Death From Covid Vaccines.
Senate Bill 866 was introduced by Senators Wiener and Pan on Jan. 20, 2022 before the CA Legislature, which would allow minors –aged 12 years and up– to take a vaccine without the consent of their parents. This means that a 12 year old could walk into a clinic, get a Covid-19 “vaccination,” without parental consent or even knowledge.
S.B. 866 would allow authorities such as medical practitioners and school personnel, to be able to entice, pressure or coerce our children to take the shot, without regard to parental concerns, family medical history, and other medical contraindications, including prior reactions to vaccines, that could cause injury and even death.
S.B. 866 would undermine parental consent once again, under existing law allowing minors to override parental consent for the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmissible diseases, expanding it under Section 6931 of the Family Code, to include vaccines, specifically the Covid-19 vaccine, and possibly more in the future, including boosters and new vaccines.
It is also modeled on the San Francisco order allowing minors aged 12 yrs and up to get a COVID-19 vaccine if a parent is not reachable.
The only stipulation is that vaccines must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and be advised by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
S.B. 866 would authorize a “vaccine provider,” such as a clinic or licensed health facility to administer a vaccine to a 12 year old child, and up, without parental knowledge or consent. And there is zero liability for the vaccine provider —leaving parents completely responsible for treatment of any injuries from adverse effects.
A 12 year old child is not equipped to comprehend or assess the risks and benefits of a vaccine.
A 12 year old child might not be aware of disease, family history or even their own adverse effects from previous vaccines, and be unable to properly convey pertinent health details to the healthcare personnel administering the vaccine regarding contraindications and precautions -which could prove extremely dangerous.
A 12 year old child is not equipped to deal with the potential adverse effects of such a vaccine– conditions such as Pericarditis, Myocarditis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Anaphylaxis, and more -including death- that are known reactions to the Covid-19 vaccines.
A 12 year old child is easily influenced by peer pressure and by persons in authority over them, such as teachers and school personnel, who are unequipped to make such a medical decision that disregards their own specific medical condition and personal situation, and who might not have their best interests at heart.
A 12 year old child cannot differentiate between coercion and informed consent.
A 12 year old child is still under the care and protection of their parent, and deserve the protection their parent provides against societal/governmental/medical/and pharmaceutical overreach.
S.B. 866 is a violation of moral law, circumventing the fundamental rights of parents to care for their own children, which are God-given rights and responsibilities.
S.B. 866 is a violation of informed consent laws which prohibit medical procedures to be performed without full information regarding the risks and benefits, and without coercion or pressure of any kind, including incentives, as per the U.S. Constitution and international law.
S.B. 866 is a violation of science. Vaccines have failed, are unnecessary, and risky.
Current Covid-19 vaccines are ineffective, as they have failed to protect people from getting infected and/or from transmitting the virus to others.
The Covid-19 vaccines are riddled with adverse effects. There are hundreds of thousands of vaccine injuries, and over 20,000 deaths reported to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). In particular, the coronavirus vaccines are known to cause Myocarditis, among other serious conditions, among young people, especially young men.
Long-term effects are completely unknown and it’s safety unproven.

Vaccines are recognized to be “unavoidably unsafe” by the US Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which has awarded over $4.4 billion to vaccine victims. www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/index.php
Children are at extremely low risk for hospitalization or death from the coronavirus. Data shows that the only deaths to children from C-19 are those who had serious comorbidities.
Children are virtually at no risk from the virus,
but significant risk from the Covid-19 vaccine.
This proposed bill deserves adamant opposition to prevent it from becoming law! Keep minor children under the care and responsibility of their parents. Prevent children from making decisions that they are not yet cognitively able to make. Prevent this over-reaching bill from potentially harming our children from vaccine injury and to prevent the overthrow of the most basic of all rights -the responsibility for the protection of the health and safety of their children!

If you write in a 2nd language, they will translate and register your statement.
5 Additional reasons you can state to oppose SB866:
SB866 undermines empowerment of women. Presumes women as mothers cannot be informed, educated, or make decisions for their children.
Also undermines ESL and non-English speaking parent communities. It's already difficult for them to know what's going on with their child at school with limited translations. This will widen that gap.
Last year, legislators thought that children couldn’t make safe decisions about vaping. If that’s true, they wouldn’t be mature enough to make serious medical decisions about receiving medical interventions like vaccines.
Vaccines are liability free, if anything bad were to happen to a child for receiving a vaccine without parent knowledge or consent, the state would not be liable.
Because there are possible risks and long term studies are still being conducted, parents must be aware and give consent.
