Read About The Federal Lawsuit

Our federal lawsuit has three goals:

  • Overturn California’s requirements for immunizations to attend school as unconstitutional because those immunizations cause far more harm than benefits, such as Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths (more than 200 per year just in California) Autism Spectrum Disorder, (now affecting about 1 in every 22 California children), other neurodevelopmental delay, asthma, eczema, and others;

  • Exempt all California Special Education students from those requirements under already existing federal and state law;

  • Protect California doctors from losing their medical licenses for telling the truth about the dangers of California’s required immunizations.

The Plaintiffs in this lawsuit include:

  •  Brave and Free Santa Cruz, a freedom advocacy organization located in Santa Cruz County

  • Several children and their parents who are being required to get California’s required shots in order to attend school, with some having to home school for now

  •  A California pediatrician who lost his medical license for telling the truth about dangers of the vaccines required by California to attend school.

The Defendants in this lawsuit include:

  1. The California Department of Public Health that enforces the school shot requirements in California
  2.  
  3. The California Department of Education that also enforces the school shot requirements in California
  4.  
  5. The Medical Board of California that revokes the medical licenses of doctors who speak out and tell the truth about the dangers of California’s’ school shot requirements.
  6.  
  7. The U.S. Centers For Disease Control that misrepresents that the childhood vaccines that it promotes are “safe and effective” when they are not.
  8.  
  9. Two California school boards that are requiring the plaintiff children to get the required shots in order to attend school.

Current Status Of The Lawsuit:

This lawsuit was filed on August 26, 2024. Service upon the Defendants is in progress. They will then have 21 days in which to file an Answer or, more likely, 14 days to move to dismiss the lawsuit. If the latter, the Court will hold a hearing on the Defendants’ Motion To DIsmiss sometime in the next few months.  While that is unfolding, the Plaintiffs can ask the Court for a Preliminary Injunction to accomplish any or all of the three goals set forth above while the Court considers the case, but the Court will only do that if the Plaintiffs are very likely to win on that issue at the end of the case.
