California Democrat Wants Kids As Young As 12 To Get COVID Vaccines Without Telling Their Parents

The Democrats’ war on parents continues.

Amid arguments that parents should have no say in education programs in schools or in a child’s desire to transition to the opposite sex, a California Democrat now wants to allow children to get COVID19 vaccines without parents’ permission.

State Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, has floated a bill that allows kids as young as 12 to get a virus vaccine without input from a parent or guardian.

“Giving young people the autonomy to receive life-saving vaccines, regardless of their parents’ beliefs or work schedules, is essential for their physical and mental health,” Wiener said in a statement.

“COVID-19 is a deadly virus for the unvaccinated, and it’s unconscionable for teens to be blocked from the vaccine because a parent either refuses or cannot take their child to a vaccination site. So many teens want to be vaccinated so that they can lead a more normal life — participating in sports or band, traveling, going to friends’ homes — but they’re prevented from doing so due to their parents’ political views or inability to find the time.”

“Unvaccinated teens also make schools less safe and threaten our ability to keep schools open. In states like Alabama and South Carolina, teenagers are already allowed to get vaccinated without parental consent. Young Californians should also have the right to keep themselves healthy and safe.”

As Wiener noted, in Alabama, according to vaxteen.org, children 14 or older may seek such treatment. In South Carolina, the minimum is 16.

In California, minors as young as 12 do not need a parent’s consent to be vaccinated against the Human Papillomavirus or Hepatitis B.
