California state Sen. Richard Pan thinks an anti-vaccine group is aligning with stay-at-home protests as a way to promote their cause. After all, he said, a vaccine would eventually allow the economy to reopen.
Among those protesting stay-at-home orders this week at the California Capitol in Sacramento were activists who oppose governments requiring vaccinations for school children.Among those protesting stay-at-home orders this week at the California Capitol in Sacramento were activists who oppose governments requiring vaccinations for school children.Protests over stay-at-home orders because of COVID-19 have become more common around the country.
There were also mothers with their children at the rally. Many people were not wearing face masks or observing social distancing protocols. The group has become a fixture at the Capitol ever since California passed a law requiring school students to be vaccinated and a second law tightening restrictions on medical exemptions for those vaccines. But another Freedom Angels founder, Stefanie Fetzer, said they're not a single-issue group. She said these events are about promoting personal freedom.
It's common for anti-vaccine groups to latch onto other controversial issues, according to epidemiologist and vaccine educator René Najera. For instance, he points to abortion.
