Left-Wing Anti-Vaccination Protesters March in Santa Monica Against California's SB 277 (VIDEO)

We had a surprising break from the Democrat-leftist insanity in Sacramento last week, when the governor signed into law the state requirement that all children be vaccinated for public schools, ending personal and religious exceptions. Some narrow health exemptions, with doctor's verification, will remain in effect.

Remember, far left-wing nutjobs dominate the ranks of the anti-vaxxers, so amid all the hoopla of recent regressive victories, take strength in this moment when idiot leftists got beaten back and shamed.

At LAT, "Opponents vow to overturn vaccination law at Santa Monica rally":

Three days after Gov. Jerry Brown signed one of the nation's strictest mandatory vaccination bills, several hundred opponents rallied in Santa Monica on Friday and vowed to repeal it.

"I am not going to stop until the truth comes out — this is heinous, this is dangerous," said Silvana Appleman, an Agoura Hills grandmother who marched with the others from the Santa Monica Pier to City Hall, chanting, "parents call the shots" and "we're not going away."

The controversial legislation requires children entering school or day care to be vaccinated against measles, mumps, whooping cough and other diseases. Parents will no longer be able to cite religious or personal beliefs in seeking exemptions.

Children with documented medical conditions, such as allergies or immune system deficiencies, would be excused from immunizations. Parents who decline the vaccinations would have to enroll their children in a home-based private school or public independent study program based off campus.

The bill, prompted by concern about low vaccination rates in some communities and an outbreak of measles last winter at Disneyland that ultimately sickened 150 people, was one of the most contentious measures taken up by the Legislature this year...

Bay Area tie-died granola-crunching Birkenstock morons protesting science-based health legislation. Yep, that's the unhinged left for you.
