SACRAMENTO – California State Senator Melissa Melendez (R- Lake Elsinore) introduced SCR 59 today, which encourages the Legislature to amend current law preventing the discrimination against those making informed decisions not to receive a COVID vaccine.
“Californians have a right to decide what they choose to put in their bodies without being threatened with their jobs by government or employers,” said Melissa Melendez. “For an entire year, COVID vaccines were held out to be dangerous by political elites, who only now support strong mandates. Our Constitution allows free-thinking people to take responsibility and make decisions for themselves and their families; and those decisions should be free from retaliation or coercion by their government.”
Put simply, SCR 59 confirms the Legislature’s resolve to amend California Health and Safety Code Section 120140 with future legislation to support the constitutional mandate that “all people are by nature free and independent…”. These changes would ensure that Californians must provide consent for any preventative, diagnostic or therapeutic medical interventions taken by the state with regards to a disease and its potential spread and the decision to withhold consent will not result in any disadvantage.
“Cities across this state have or are considering mandates seeking to segregate out the vaxxed from the unvaxxed” said Melendez. “California shouldn’t promote the open discrimination of those who’ve made a choice when substantial outbreaks in highly vaccinated places like Israel, Malta and Vermont make it obvious that an increase in vaccination rates doesn’t necessarily guarantee a reduction in COVID cases. Asking for passports or papers to verify your vaccine status to ride a bus, attend school or receive benefits is simply un-American.”
Here is a look at SCR 59:

One of the stupidest meaningless resolutions I’ve read.
Finally someone sane!
Hope she doesn’t show up at an emergency room when she gets covid. Grandstanding bottom feeders are their finest.
We need more of these free thinking people in our government. My body my choice. Unvaxxed lives matter.
It isn’t just about “your body,” Free Willer. It’s the danger your unvaccinated self poses to those around you including family and friends. You need to think more about your responsibility to society instead of just your selfish “rights.”
How is an “unvaccinated” (I should just say someone who has chosen not to get this shot because it is technically not a vaccine) person putting any other person at risk more than one who has gotten the shot?
It is becoming very clear that those who have had these shots are still spreading the virus AND that they can still get infected by the virus.
But to play devil’s advocate and pretend these shots are effective: if they are, then aren’t those who chose to get it deemed safe and protected anyway? Why would they care who else gets the shot?
You’re basically saying it’s reasonable to get upset at a person for not wearing their seatbelt when you’re perfectly strapped into yours. Since when does it become any of your business??
What an amazing idea – free will. What if there was a country where that was allowed.
As of Aug. 13, 2021, according to the VAERS database on the CDC site, 13,068 people have died after getting one of the experimental Covid-19 vaccines. This is nearly double the number of US soldiers dying in the 20 year Afghan war and the Iraq war combined. This is 50% more in 9 months than all the deaths reported in VAERS following all other vaccines given in the past 31 years. And 17,228 people have been permanently disabled.
And, if the finding of Harvard Medical School’s study of several years ago indicating that less than one percent of adverse vaccine events get reported to VAERS, maybe the number of people dying after getting the Covid jab is well over one million.
But who cares? It doesn’t seem to bother the CDC – or NIH. It is full stream ahead. Covid vaccines are safe and effective – even though more fully vaccinated people are getting Covid now than unvaccinated people – according to CDC data.
I’m a registered Democrat, but salute Senator Melendez for her sanity, courage, critical thinking and concern for the people of California who don’t want to be part of the greatest medical experiment in human history using an unproven, dangerous and ineffective medical intervention.
“More fully vaccinated people are getting Covid now than unvaccinated people”?
You need to recheck your facts. Go look at Florida, Texas, Arkansas, et. al, right now. Your “facts” are wrong.
I oppose AB 455
