Democrat Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (Oakland) proposed legislation that would require all California workers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
The bill would mandate all California businesses to require proof of COVID-19 inoculation for employees and independent contractors.
The only exceptions would be for workers who obtain an exemption for religious or medical reasons. Those with an approved exemption would have to undergo regular COVID testing.
As Gateway Pundit reported:
“That’s fundamentally what this bill is about,” Wicks said. “Getting back to some sense of normalcy so we can go on with our lives, and we don’t have these constant interruptions and outbreaks and all these things that we’ve been experiencing for so long.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom last year mandated all of the state’s 2.2 million healthcare workers get vaccinated against Covid or face firing.
The COVID-19 injections don’t prevent transmission of SARS-CoV2, thus are useless to ward off the highly-transmissible omicron variant.
Wicks seeks medical authoritarianism in the state of California and not normalcy.

VACCINE BILL PROPOSAL: Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks introduced her bill months after delaying an original proposal last fall. https://t.co/bmOZ1i57Iw

ABC 7 added:
California would mandate that all businesses require their employees and independent contractors to receive the COVID-19 vaccine under legislation announced Friday by Democratic state lawmakers that was immediately criticized by Republicans as government overreach.
Employees or contractors who qualify for medical or religious exemptions would have to be regularly tested under a planned amendment to the bill. New employees would have to get at least one dose by the time they start work and the second dose within 45 days of being on the job.
Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks introduced her bill months after delaying an original proposal last fall. The previous version would have allowed workers to submit to weekly testing as an alternative to getting vaccinated, but that is not an option in her new proposal.
Vaccines mandates are highly controversial and there have been many rallies at the state Capitol in Sacramento opposing such requirements.
Wicks and other supporters said the mandate is needed even as California moves to ease other requirements and anticipates moving into a new “endemic” phase that accepts the coronavirus is here to stay but is manageable as immunity builds.

The mandate would stay in place unless the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decides that COVID-19 vaccinations are no longer needed.
The bill would require state health and occupational safety officials to advise employers on what qualifies as a medical condition, disability, religious belief and valid vaccination status. Businesses that didn’t comply would face penalties that have yet to be determined.
Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher said he is vaccinated and urges others to also get their shots.
“But telling people they can’t feed their family unless they get the vaccine is just wrong,” Gallagher said. “I trust Californians enough to treat them like adults who can make their own health care decisions. It’s unfortunate that a few Democrats in the Legislature don’t.”
While Democrats are full-blown medical fascists who flaunt their authoritarian tendencies, I would appreciate Republicans not recommending the shots.
Although I applaud the anti-mandate stance of Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher, he should stop ‘urging’ Californians to take a dangerous, experimental mRNA gene therapy.
The VAERS report cites over 1.1 million adverse reactions and 23,000 deaths for COVID-19 jabs in the United States.

And that’s likely 1-10% of the accurate number of adverse reactions.
We don’t need Democrats mandating experimental shots like a medical dictatorship and don’t need Republicans begging us to take them.
The energy should focus on destroying Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks for her disgusting desire for medical tyranny in California.
