ACIP voted to add COVID-19 vaccine to child immunization schedule. What does this mean?

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, part of the CDC, voted unanimously (15-10) to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the CDC recommended childhood immunization schedule.

What does this mean?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sets the U.S. adult and childhood immunization schedules based on recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Once the CDC Director has approved ACIP recommendations, they are published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). Upon publication, the recommendations represent the official CDC recommendations for immunizations in the United States.

This new childhood immunization schedule does not go into effect until 2023. The COVID-19 vaccine does not automatically get added to school vaccine requirements. The only way the school requirements can change is through legislation or through Department of Public Health (the same process in most states). Also, by adding the COVID vaccines to the childhood vaccination schedule, shifts vaccine manufacturers liability shield from the PREP Act to The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. So now all COVID Vaccines manufacturers will get full liability protection for the authorized product. (To summarize: If you get injured by this vaccine you will not be able to sue.)

Good Morning CHD’ Episode 161: Child Abuse on a Massive Scale

The CDC’s independent vaccine advisory committee votes unanimously in recommendation for the COVID-19 vaccines to be added to the childhood schedule. What does this mean for the future of our society? Viewers hear a critical conversation about this decision — discussing negative efficacy, spike proteins, sudden deaths, agency capture and more.

What happens next?

Not all vaccines on the childhood immunization schedule are required for school attendance. But given the history of the last two years, we can predict which states may try to add it to their school schedule. Some have already tried passing legislation to that fact, i.e. California SB 871.

In California, Governor Newsom in a press conference back in April, 2022, stated that the state would not implement a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for school attendance until at least July 2023, as he was waiting on full FDA approval before moving ahead with the requirement. If the California Department of Public Health decides to add it to school requirement, the current law allows for personal/religious belief exemption for any new added vaccine. Keep in mind, no vaccine put on the school schedule was on the market for less than 6 years. Why are the ACIP, CDC and certain states rushing into this?

Unfortunately, some states will try to add COVID-19 shot to their school requirements. If your state does add to school requirements, check here to see what type of exemptions are available. FOR-US is a good source for Religious Exemptions.

It does seem as there is a war against bodily autonomy and parents rights in some states. But there is good news. There are a lot of organizations and representatives are there too fight for you. For example: ICAN will fund legal challenges, with attorney Aaron Siri, against any state mandate for schools. Luckily, some states have already passed laws preventing any type of mandate. Here are just a few Governors opposing any such mandate.

What can you do?

1. First, don’t panic! There are organizations and representatives that are on your side to fight this. And the official new schedule is doesn’t take effect until 2023.

2. The most immediate thing you can do is vote this November 8th. This is the most pivotal election in history. This election outcome will decide who be making the decisions in each state in January. So vote like your children’s future depends on it.

3. Get to know the people in charge of these health policies, whether it is a board of public health, a state lawmaker or Governor. If they are an elected official and that seat is up for election, vote on this issue! Although we cannot endorse any candidates, we can recommend to you, that if you want change for the better, we must have representatives that actually represent the American people. Representatives that believe in parental sovereignty, children’s right to an education and medical freedom.

 4. Contact your candidate’s campaign directly to find out what their stance is on this issue. Get them to publicly state it. Make them accountable.

5. Get involved: donate, volunteer and promote those organizations and representatives that stand firm on parental rights and are against mandates.

PERK will continue to help fight against it every step of the way!

ACIP is meeting regarding child vaccine schedule, October 19

The national Advisory Committed on Immunization Practices may be voting to add CV19 to the childhood schedule nationwide.

ACIP meeting is tomorrow (10/19) and Thursday (10/20). Deadline to submit emails, comments, and calls is today before they are in meetings all day. Agenda says at 1:15 ET they will discuss CV vaccines in adults and children and effectiveness. There has been no definitive agenda item saying it will add CV vaccines to the schedule, it is vague and mentions only that the schedule will be discussed. But Thursday they are revising the childhood schedule. Here is the latest FLTJ blog post and Steve Kirsch’s blog with all the details and answer your questions.

BOTTOM LINE: if the ACIP recommends the shots be required for kids for school, CDC will adopt the recommendation, and most states (certainly CA) will, too. Then we have to start our fight all over again.

It helps to know what the responsibilities are for each of the seats up for election: why are they important and how does their role impact me and my family? To learn more about the roles of the various elected offices, please read on.

 Key positions that impact parent rights, education rights, and medical sovereignty:

• State Superintendent of Public Instruction: California’s top education official elected as a nonpartisan office. Serves a 4-year term directing the Department of Education and executes State Board of Ed policies (The State Board of Education is appointed by the governor). An ideal candidate will add parents back into the education equation, make sure that parents always have a seat at the table, and not overlook our children as political pawns. 

• State Senator: Not to be confused with federal senators, each of the 40 senators represents 1 million Californians and serves a 4 year term with a 12 year limit for either house. Responsibilities include authoring and voting on bills in the state legislature for codes of law, budget, and resolutions that express the body’s approval or disapproval of something. It is their responsibility to listen to constituents, and most utilize their staff to take constituent input. Few Senators read the messages sent to them and rely primarily on their staff. Almost all accept donations from businesses and organizations, so looking them up on websites like www.votesmart.org is helpful to know where candidates get their donations and what their voting record is.

• State Assembly Member: Not to be confused with federal congressmen, each represents Californians by district and serves a 2 year term with a 12 year limit for either house. There are 80 members in a state of about 40 million, authoring and voting on bills in the state legislature for codes of law, budget, and resolutions that express the body’s approval or disapproval of something. It is their responsibility to listen to constituents to sponsor and author bills and to allocate state funds for local projects. Most utilize their staff to take constituent input. Few Members read the messages sent to them and rely primarily on their staff. Almost all accept donations from businesses and organizations, so looking them up on websites like www.votesmart.org is helpful to know where candidates get their donations and what their voting record is.

• Governor: Appoints over 2000 positions including department heads and officials, members of boards and commissions, as well as unexpired seats if they become vacant and judicial vacancies. The governor appoints the State Board of Education and serves as President of the Board of Regents of the University of California and the Board of Trustees of the California State University. The governor holds financial control; power to pardon, reprieve, and commute sentences; has authority over organization and administration of the executive branch; and is the state commander in chief. 

• Lieutenant Governor: Assumes office when governor is absent or unable to discharge duties, presides over Senate and may cast tie-breaking legislative vote, performs executive duties at governor’s request, chairs the Commission on Economic Development, and serves as ex officio on some boards and commissions.

• Secretary of State: Chief elections officer and records keeper for all elections; certifies candidates; checks for number of signatures of initiatives, referendums, and recall petitions.

Other Candidate Positions on this year’s ballot:

• U.S. Senate: There are 2 federal senators for each state, each serving a 6 year term without term limits, with responsibilities that include approving treaties, confirming cabinet secretaries, federal judges, and other federal officials. They can author and vote on bills, serve in special committees, and conduct impeachment trials.

• U.S. Representative in Congress: Each U.S. congress member represents about 700,000 constituents for a 2 year term without term limits. There are 435 congressional members, and the number of congress members for each state depends on the population. It is their responsibility to act as the voice of the people by enacting legislation that influences daily living, funding government programs, holding hearings as part of the legislative process, and overseeing the executive branch.

• State Controller: The state’s fiscal officer keeps track of state money, pays state bills, reports on financial operations and transactions at the state, county, and city levels, collects and audits taxes, manages and audits state personnel payroll, serves as member of over 80 boards and chairs CalPERs, CalSTRS, the Franchise Tax Board, and the California State Lands Commision

• State Treasurer: The state’s banker and investment officer makes payments authorized by the controller, sells state bonds, secures valuables deposited into the treasury, reviews debt proposals, and serves on the board of CalPERS and CalSTRS.

• Attorney General: The state’s chief lawyer ensures laws are uniformly and adequately enforced; interprets laws for the governor and government officials; manages representation in civil litigation against the state and its officers as well as superior court appeals; acts to protect Californians from fraud and other illegal activity that threatens public safety or victimizes consumers; enforces environmental laws; maintains the central fingerprint and other databases; administers training programs for law enforcement officers; supervises and may act in place of district attorneys and sheriffs; prepares titles for initiatives, referendums, and state ballot measures.

• Insurance Commissioner: Protects California’s insurance consumers by enforcing state insurance codes; regulating the insurance industry and informing California consumers about insurance company rates, complaints, and enforcement.

• Member of State Board of Equalization: There are 5 members on the board representing 4 districts and includes the state controller, working together to collect taxes and fees and as the appellate body for the Franchise Tax Board. They ensure equal and uniform property tax assessment and assess the properties the state’s public utilities. 

• Court Justices: This year’s ballot contains candidates for Superior Court, Associate and Presiding Justices for the Court of Appeals, Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, and the Chief Justice of California. Trials take place in 58 superior courts with the number of judges for each court determined by the legislature. The courts of appeal have 105 local justices in 6 districts. San Francisco has 5 divisions,20 justices; LA and Ventura have 8 divisions, 32 justices; Sacramento has 11 justices; San Diego has 3 divisions, 25 justices; Fresno has 10 justices; and San Jose has 7 justices. The state’s superior court is the highest level and has a chief of justice and 6 associate justices. 

• Local Candidates may include County Board of Supervisors, Local School Boards, City Council member, or other seats that are up for election during this midterm. What is on your ballot varies by district.

When choosing candidates, investigate the following questions:

Who stands for parent rights?

Who is more in alignment with what I value in education?

Who values parents as advocates for their children’s medical care?

Who demonstrates they are more likely to listen to and act on my concerns?

If an incumbent, have they made themselves available and open to their constituents? What is their voting record on issues I care about?

If new, are they stating their platform on the things I care about? Are they answering or avoiding their district’s voters?

LEGAL UPDATE ON LA COUNTY SUIT AND OTHER LEGAL CASES

Dear PERK Members,

As you know, we are litigating multiple cases and are awaiting the outcome. We have a general update below.

For those in LA County, here is a more specific update. Much of what we share below may be relevant to many of our PERK Members. We will be addressing the following:

1) LA County Update

2) Pluritas/PERK/PHR survey

3) Right to Sue Letters

4) Notices of Discharge

5) Damage Cases

6) Communications and Q&A

LA County Legal Update

PERK (Tsai) vs. Los Angeles County

The County made another motion for judgment on the pleadings on August 15. It is set to be heard on December 15. The County of Los Angeles continues to file motions in attempts to dismiss our case.  Our case continues to hold strong.  We should win on December 15. We already have a trial date set for next May.

We know we are right and that we have gotten good results in San Francisco and San Diego. Our lawsuit continues to pressure Los Angeles County to rescind all the Covid vaccine policies. Here is a copy of our third amended complaint filed over the summer.

Pluritas/PERK/PHR Survey Update

If you are in the County of Los Angeles and responded to the PERK/PHR/Pluritas Survey, here is the update. There has been progress to obtain counsel on your behalf. Pluritas has had a number of engaging meetings and conversations with attorneys in California and across the nation. Although there is interest from many of these law firms, we are finding the politicization of the matter has served as a bit of a challenge. 

That being said, we find ourselves now - through a series of conversations - presenting to some of the highest profiled law firms/attorneys in the country who have taken on the fight and been successful against this COVID-19 tyranny.  Our very recent presentations to these law firms are gaining traction.  We will plan to update you on the outcomes soon. In the meantime, the following are instructions for your administrative filing to preserve your right to sue the County of Los Angeles, as previously discussed.  Should you have questions, please consult an attorney, as we are not a law firm:

Right To Sue Letters

For Los Angeles County

In order to preserve your right to sue the County of Los Angeles, there are a number of steps that should be taken so that you do not lose the ability to file a lawsuit:

1. File an initial Tort Claim against the County Board of Supervisors (6 month deadline from the date of termination). (See attached document and link: Claims for Damages to Person or Property Form). Fill out the form listed under the Customer Service/Records section, Claims for Damages to Person or Property form, and follow the instructions as indicated – The claim is reviewed by a County Third Party Administrator “TPA”, which is either resolved or denied. (Matters are almost always denied).

2. Once you get a denial from the TPA, file a Complaint with the DFEH to obtain a “Right to Sue.” (See attached link: https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/complaintprocess/?content=fileComplaint#fileComplaintBody ) 

Again, it is important that you take these steps, should you have any questions please consult a lawyer as we are not attorneys, but only informing you as to options in an effort to help you protect your ability to sue the County. 

Notices of Discharge- Departments Out of Compliance

Some of you continue to receive threats and notices of discharge. PERK is not an attorney. We can only recommend and give you suggestions. If you are receiving notices of discharge, we recommend you respond and send them a copy of our lawsuit and mention that if they try to take any action against you, they will get sued and be held liable. You can also say that we believe the County Counsel’s office has instructed departments not to take any action regarding this issue while the lawsuit is pending.

Damage Cases

For those who would like to file litigation for damages, this may be an option. We will update you with information as we know it.

Communications

We are currently only holding zoom calls as needed. For several months, there have not been any new or significant updates. The case is still active and continuing forward. Some of our other cases do have updates and impact the LA County case positively. We will update you as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions: We have received many questions regarding the statute of limitations, how to file a right to sue letter, and more. Please remember we are not a law firm. However, we will do our best to answer these questions with recommendations and suggestions. Please see here.

General Update on All PERK Cases

Here is the following summary of all our case. See attached. Our San Diego Case is significant and has a bench trial date in January.

Protecting Homeschoolers

PERK is handling a recent situation regarding homeschooling families. It is very concerning and reminds us we must protect all homeschoolers in California. We will share more details with you soon.

Victory in Sacramento

We have been incredibly busy fighting on all angles. We have communicated less with you, while we increased our fight against more than a dozen bad laws coming from Sacramento. We led the way to defeat horrific bills that would have altered your lives, your jobs, your children’s access to education, your right to work, and more.

Be Blessed and know we continue to fight for you, your children, your right to work, and live in a mandate free society. Please continue to donate to our efforts. We really need your help. Paypal has canceled our account. Instagram is seriously censoring us. Our emails are going to your junk mail. Our lawsuits can only continue with the essential and necessary support from you all. We are closer to more victories. I just know it.

Sincerely,

Amy Bohn

PERK President

2022 California Legislative Results

Legislative Summary List

Another legislative season has ended. California had an avalanche of horrible bills in 2022. PERK took a multi-faceted approach to defeat them.  We went into this with the attitude of NO AMENDMENTS! As these bills were so blatantly illegal and atrocious, they needed to be stopped.

We accomplished historic wins this year, by defeating 7 of these bad bills. This was monumental!

And this would not have happened without the tireless work and collaboration of organizations, volunteers and the united opposition of groups and people from all walks of life.

And it all started with parents fighting back.

Thank you!

***NOTE: Oct. 4th, 2022 Dr. Barke and Dr. McDonald with Liberty Justice Center have filed a suit in the U.S. District Court of California against the Medical Board and Attorney General. The plaintiffs also filed papers seeking a preliminary injunction to protect their free speech rights as the case unfolds.

Now that the legislative session has ended, please go back to the school boards, chambers of commerce, unions, businesses, and other groups who stood with us on the various bills. Their actions helped make a difference, and they need to know it! Please contact them and give them thanks for taking action.
