San Diego Unified School District Delays Vaccine Mandate With No Religious Exemptions.

As opponents go ahead with a federal lawsuit against the district, the San Diego Unified School District decided on May 24 to postpone its policy forcing kids to get vaccinated against COVID-19 for a second time. The decision to postpone the mandate was welcomed as a success by Paul Jonna, Thomas More Society Special Counsel and partner at LiMandri and Jonna LLP. “We applaud this course of action,” Jonna said in a statement, “which marks yet another big success for these families and their children, the majority of whom will now be able to experience regular senior years and graduate from high school.” The requirement, which was supposed to go into force in July, will be postponed until 2023 or later. The school system, which has previously postponed the obligation, is one of the few in the country that compels…

Oklahoma Gov. Signs Bill Effectively Banning Abortion; Turbulence Ahead.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday that prohibits abortion from the moment of conception, with a few exceptions. Oklahoma HB 4327 is presently the most stringent abortion ban in the United States. It forbids doctors from performing abortions once a pregnancy has been confirmed. There are certain exceptions, such as if the abortion is judged essential to preserve the mother’s life. Another exemption is if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest and was reported to the authorities. “As governor, I promised Oklahomans that I would sign every pro-life bill that came across my desk, and I am glad to uphold that commitment today,” said Stitt, a first-term Republican. “We have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to preserve the baby’s life and the mother’s life from the time life…

FDA Approved Pfizer Booster For Children As Young As 5.

After the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded emergency authorisation for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccination booster on May 17, Americans as young as 5 can acquire it. The FDA approved a third Pfizer injection for youngsters aged 5 to 11 who had had their second dosage at least five months before. The second injection is required due to diminishing protection from the original series of two doses, according to Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. The decision was met with some backlash. Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco, told The Epoch Times via email, “There is no evidence that children 5-11 years old require a booster injection of the vaccine, nor of shown benefit.” Pfizer’s decision is based on data from just 67 youngsters who…

California Continues Its March To Inoculate Children With Experimental COVID “Vaccines”. (Without Parental Consent)

Following a 7–0 vote in the state Senate Judiciary Committee on May 5, California is one step closer to enabling adolescents to get any vaccination without parental approval. Following the hearing, Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) remarked on Twitter, “Teens should be allowed to safeguard their own health with vaccines—whether against COVID, flu, measles, or polio—even if their parents reject or can’t take them to get the injection.” Wiener introduced Senate Bill (SB) 866, which would enable adolescents aged 12 and above to obtain a vaccination that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration without parental consent. According to the bill analysis, the law is designed to be a resource for kids whose parents are too busy to take them to get vaccinated owing to a lack of paid time off or even “medical neglect.” According to the bill…

On April 29, US drug authorities hinted that COVID-19 vaccinations for young children might be approved in June. The FDA has announced that its expert advisory group, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC), will meet to discuss revisions to the Moderna and Pfizer emergency use authorizations (EUAs).

Pfizer Requesting To Authorize Booster Doses For Children Age 5-11.

Pfizer and BioNTech announced on April 14 that they will seek emergency use authorisation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a booster for their COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years old. According to the firms, the proposal will be based on data from a Phase 2/3 clinical trial that indicated an increase in antibodies from a booster dose. Approximately six months following the second dose, a booster was given to 140 children in the trial. The primary series consists of two doses. One month after receiving the booster, the children had a 6-fold increase in antibodies against the Wuhan strain of SARS-CoV-2, according to the businesses. A 36-fold rise in neutralizing antibody titers was discovered in a subanalysis of 30 subjects. The trial also yielded “no new safety indications,” according to the report. The…

Moderna’s COVID Shot is now approved in Canada for children aged 6 to 11.

On Thursday, Moderna Inc announced that Canada had approved its COVID-19 vaccine for use in children aged 6 to 11. In Australia and the European Union, the vaccine, known as Spikevax, was recently approved for use in children of the same age range. Last year, Moderna said that their two-dose vaccine produced virus-neutralizing antibodies in children aged 6 to 11 years old, and that its safety was equivalent to that reported in adolescent and adult clinical trials. In the United States, the vaccine, which is based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, is licensed for people aged 18 and up. The business is waiting for US regulators to make a decision on the vaccine’s usage in youngsters aged 12 to 17. In the United States, Pfizer’s COVID-19 injection has been approved for children as young as five years old. Dr. Robert…

LAUSD Still Requiring Students To Mask Up Despite State & County Mandate Being Lifted.

Even when California’s statewide mask rule for indoor public places expires, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) indicated it will keep its kids disguised, at least for the time being. This Monday is the first day that many California students will not have to wear a mask to school. However, due to agreements between the school district and its teachers’ union, an indoor mask rule remains in force for almost 600,000 LAUSD children. LAUSD, the nation’s second-largest public school district, said it is still working with partners, notably United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), to develop a plan to move away from mask restrictions and instead “highly urge” wearing masks indoors. Any changes to the district’s health and safety regulations must be negotiated between the district and the union, according to a September 2021 agreement. In a statement, LAUSD Superintendent…

Parents Of Disabled Child Claim Repeal Of School Mask Mandate Is Discriminatory; Litigation Follows.

The parents of a medically vulnerable 6-year-old kid have filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania, requesting that the Cumberland Valley School District change its masking policy from optional to mandatory for all students. According to the lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the school board forces parents of medically fragile children with disabilities to make an unfair choice between keeping their children at home and safe or sending them to school and risking exposure to COVID-19. The state health agency implemented universal masking in Pennsylvania schools in 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but a judge ruled in December 2021 that the health department lacked the right to continue imposing masked without a continuing state emergency order. School boards were now in charge of making choices. The Cumberland Valley School…
