I vaccinated my kids, so I am not an anti-vac person. In fact I strongly think you SHOULD vaccinate, but I am not going to tell someone else what to do. Now, states can make their own decisions, but it should be based on the people's will, not on some politician who is most likely bought off by either big pharma or pressure from bigger govt. Did Californians vote on this? If they did, ok. Did the gvt do this on their own? Than not ok.
Oh good grief. Every time I read "did we vote on this" it makes my head hurt. We are a REPRESENTATIVE form of government. That is how this country was founded, and it is embedded in our constitution (and I'm willing to bet, embedded in all state constitutions...although I have not personally checked that assertion). That being the case, we elect our representatives to act in our stead. Presumably that is what happened. Now, if some person (or group of people) believe that their particular representative has not acted the way they want, it is up to them to either establish a recall drive or get a different person elected the next time around to change that law.
We do not (and I believe CANNOT) vote on every single issue that our legislatures currently handle. Do you really even want that??!?!
