People Are Dragging Kristen Bell And Dax Shepard For Their Support Of Vaccinations

California has been trying to pass Senate Bill-276. The bill would prohibit a school or any other institution from admitting any student or child who has not received or obtained proper vaccinations.

However, many lawmakers in California said that some doctors are granting parents and children too many exemptions from receiving vaccines. Therefore, the bill suggests that the California Department of Public Health reviews exemptions for children who attend schools with high exemption rates.

Some parents believe that vaccines can be linked to disabilities and defects, and decide to not vaccinate their children due to these personal beliefs. However, this leaves many children open and compromised to vaccine-preventing illnesses, such as measles.

Many children had become compromised after unvaccinated children developed the illness, which can be prevented when receiving the proper immunization at an early age.

Many parents are calling for government mandated support so that parents cannot just opt out of vaccinating their kids due to personal opinions and beliefs. Instead, only those children whose health would be compromised from receiving a vaccine would be exempt.

The couple has been extremely outspoken over the years on fundamental issues in the press and media spotlight. This time around, both Kristen and Dax showed support for the bill and for vaccinating children.

He compared parents not vaccinating their children to parents not using car seats, which, of course, sounds ridiculous. He even made a hilarious hashtag stating that parents are not doctors, and "measel tov," a play on Mazel Tov.

She said that under the new bill, all of the children who are medically exempt from vaccines will still be protected and can sit out from the immunizations, which many parents were arguing for.

And, physicians cannot complete those exemption forms without proper proof.

She asked Twitter followers to support the bill and help support science-based public health policies.

Many doctors and pediatricians reached out to the couple to say thank you for spreading the "right" information to people online. Others were parents who thanked them for supporting their immune-compromised children.

One Twitter user said that Bell was "severely misinformed," as there is no legitimate science to back up the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Therefore, while her intentions are good, her information was wrong.

Another Twitter user said that there is no testing and no science that proves the vaccinations are working. This user also called pharmaceutical companies the "devil's land."

There were those who even said that Kristen pushed, "out a baby, not a PhD."

One Twitter user pointed out that measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, but, was then reintroduced to the population after parents began to refuse vaccinations —stating that immunizations really only work if people get them.

Whether or not you like Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, one thing is for sure—they're looking out for their children and the children of California who can benefit from receiving vaccines to prevent infectious diseases, and, helping those who can be compromised from these diseases, too.
