California’s COVID vaccine mandate for K-12 students is being withdrawn, having never taken effect. To all the parents who joined together and fought back: We won. To Gavin Newsom: You lost.
Newsom, of course, originally wanted to force the mandate on schools last year. But he “delayed” it after we killed a similar bill at the State Capitol. At the time, I said the delay was just a face-saving maneuver and the mandate would ultimately be scrapped.
That has now happened. The Public Health Department just acknowledged that the end of the State of Emergency on February 28 will render Newsom’s order null and void. This is why we fought so hard to terminate the emergency: all COVID mandates end with it.
