Is California trying to push people out?

California to Require COVID-19 Vaccine for Students to Attend Schools

Right now it’s only for 16 and up, since that’s what the FDA has approved. Once the FDA approves a vaccine for 12-15 year olds, they’ll be required to get it.

I don’t know FDA rules that well, but it seems to me that “FDA approval” is a different thing from “everybody should take this.” Any given drug has to be approved by the FDA, but that doesn’t mean everybody should take that drug.

Anyway, since political conservatives are more likely to be suspicious of the vaccine, maybe Newsome wants to give them reason 10,468 to leave the state.

Vaccine mandates and race

“The number of hospitals and health systems requiring COVID-19 vaccination for employees is growing.”

And people are losing income over it — and maybe their jobs. Thousands of NY Health Care Workers Placed on Unpaid Leave, Face Firing Over Vaccine Mandate

Combine that with studies that show vaccine hesitancy is high among blacks — e.g., …

“This survey study of 10,871 HCWs [health care workers] from 2 academic hospitals found that, compared with White HCWs, vaccine hesitancy was increased nearly 5-fold among Black HCWs, 2-fold among Hispanic or Latino HCWs, and by nearly 50% among Asian HCWs and HCWs who were members of other racial/ethnic groups.” Source

And you get this.

Leader of Black Lives Matter New York chapter calls vaccine mandates “racist and disrespectful.”

I don’t believe vaccine mandates are racist, but they are according to the left’s playbook, which says that disproportionate outcomes = racism.
