California parents didn’t think vaccination law could get any worse in California. California already has the most strict school vaccination law in the country. In my October Mayer Medical Liberty Moment delivered at Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley (below), I lay it out in a few minutes.
Due to censorship, I ask for more help signing our petition to Make Vaccination Voluntary Again.
De Facto Mandate for 30 Shots
Newsom’s designed-to-fail medical exemption scheme — enacted in 2019 — means that the Department of Public Health denies all valid medical exemptions. This creates a de facto mandate for more than 30 doses of vaccines just to attend K-12 school.
New California-only Vaccination Schedule
In September 2025, Newsom signed into law AB144 which creates a California-only vaccination schedule, not just diverging from the CDC, but cutting out their future guidance entirely. The new law also cuts out the legislature.
CA Department of Public Health Now in Charge of Schedule & Enforcement
Now in addition to enforcing a vaccine mandate, California’s Department of Public Health also dictates the vaccination schedule in the state. This new law makes California the ONLY state in the country with both a de facto mandate and its own state vaccination schedule.
Cuts Out Parental Participation
Prior to AB144 being signed into law, citizens could submit public comment to the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee (ACIP), and we could participate in legislative actions involving vaccines. As much as the public was ignored, there was at least a formal avenue for participation. This new law completely cuts out the public voice and influence from all vaccine decision-making in the state, which is yet another violation of due process for California’s citizens.
COVID Shots on California Schedule, but No Longer Recommended by CDC
COVID shots remain on the California-recommended schedule, even though they have been removed from CDC’s recommended schedule. COVID shots are currently not required for K-12 school, but the Department of Public Health could change that on a whim.
California is now a Department of Public Health vaccine dictatorship.
Fifty Years of Choice with No Public Health Crisis, Not Even Measles
From the early 1960s through 2015, California had a soft mandate. Parents could exercise a medical or personal belief exemption for their child. Exemptions were not widely used, but they were used wisely by parents who feared vaccination could cause harm to their children. In 2015 there was no public health crisis that necessitated changing from a soft mandate to today’s hard mandate.
Even the 2014 measles cases in Disneyland used as a pretense to start changing California’s vaccination law in 2015 were within normal bounds for an infection classified as eliminated.
The U.S. has about 4.2% of the world’s population, and has average vaccination rates for measles compared to other countries, so we should have about 4.2% of the global measles cases. However, only 0.06% of the world cases of measles appear in the U.S.. In other words, the U.S. is doing 70 times better than expected with measles. Thousands of cases would be akin to a rounding error.
California had a soft mandate from 1961 through 2015 — more than fifty years — without issue. Clearly, we would be fine going back to voluntary vaccination.
What Can We Do in Court? We Already Did It!
Our due process lawsuit to end mandates, filed last December, awaits a decision in a federal district court. We will escalate this to the 9th Circuit and to the Supreme Court of the United States, if we need to. Thanks to your support, we can work to end mandates through the legal system – and seek the most durable and strong protection for vaccine choice – judgments.
In the meantime, we can all do something…

In 1996, Ms. Mayer was running a worldwide research group for Apple Inc., when she got 6 vaccines for a vacation and became disabled, brain damaged and lost her career. Now substantially recovered, she is Board Chair & President of Free Now Foundation, the leading medical freedom law non-profit in California.
Ms. Mayer is an in-demand speaker, and her lively presentations on 1/ The Measles Manipulation of RFK Jr., 2/ REAL ID: Weaponized Architecture, 3/ ABV: Anything But Vaccines and 4/ The Legal Howdunit of COVID have earned her recognition and accolades. "I know women in VP positions who do not hold a candle to this woman's sunlight," stated a commenter on a recent interview with Mike Adams, "She gives me hope that humanity still lives."
Ms. Mayer formerly served on the Children's Health Defense (CHD) board, co-founded & served as Chairman of CHD’s most successful Chapter in California, helping raise in excess of $5M, and served on RFK Jr’s Presidential campaign finance committee, raising hundreds of thousands for the campaign.
In 2022, she won the Golden Bear Award and a presentation she gave to Dr. Mercola was named a "Best of" interview. Her favorite award is her "Freedominator" Rock given by Marin Freedom Rising in 2023. Ms. Mayer grew up in the Oscar Mayer family, and has degrees from Duke (BA) and Northwestern (MBA.)
I am not American and live above your northern border in Canada. There are 2 provinces that do not mandate vaccines for school children, Ontario and New Brunswick. Not very many people know this and parents are lead to believe the opposite by Public Health. Our grandchild will not get another vaccination ever as there has been damage done. We do receive letters from the Public Health Unit where we live but so far we have ignored the requests for vaccination updates.
Thank you Alix Mayer for all you do in California as we have relatives who live there and we are concerned about the Newsom government over reach.
Thank you for letting us know about New Brunswick and Ontario. That is critical information for our Canadian neighbors. Thank you for watching out for CA!! We have the most egregious over-reach in CA, so it’s a state with good possibilities for strong plaintiffs.
I hope that Alix and Free Now will continue to inspire others in the medical freedom movement for as long as it takes to wake-up those still in the grip of the great COVID psyop — and that those dark forces behind it are run-out of office sooner than later.
Thank you J. Randall! We will not give up until Parents Call the Shots again in CA and beyond!!
Please allow parental vaccine choice to become law again in California!
We are working on it in many different ways!! Thanks for your support!
