Jessica Biel clarifies stance on vaccines, saying she supports 'children getting vaccinations,' but that she is against part of a California bill dealing with 'medical exemptions.'

After a wave of reports this week positioned Jessica Biel as taking a stand against children getting vaccinations, the mother and actress took to social media to set the record straight.

"I believe in giving doctors and the families they treat the ability to decide what’s best for their patients and the ability to provide that treatment. I encourage everyone to read more on this issue and to learn about the intricacies of #SB276. Thank you to everyone who met with me this week to engage in this important discussion!" she said.

Any request for an exemption would require"sufficient medical evidence" that the immunization would put the patient at risk for severe adverse effects based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Some states are moving toward eliminating religious and personal nonmedical exemptions for vaccines, and some are trying to crack down on medical exemptions by requiring a doctor to write a letter, as seen in SB276 and California's SB277 from 2015.

please start covering the CDCWhistleblower Members of congress have been asking for an investigation

Someone needs to learn that saying a line believably doesn’t make you credible on a subject you know little about.

She’s an actress. Her job is to look real while saying her lines believably. If Ms. Biel wanted to send a credible message, she should have gone to medical school, studied immunology and made it her area of expertise. Then only then should she had opened her mouth, not before.

Mmmmmmmmhmmm

NOT NEWS

Children in cages. Possible war with Iran. Corruption investigations. Polluted water. Climate change. Women's rights Election interference. Voter suppression. ALL of these are more important than the belief of a non-medical, non-academic speaking about science. Move on,

JessicaBiel As a pediatrician, true medical exemptions are legit. Religious and personal exemptions are not. Your appearing with RobertKennedyJr doesn’t help your cause.

It is as I always thought. Vaccines are safe. GET OVER IT.

Tap dancing

She's still a DreamWorks....

Are her children vaccinated? That's all I want to know.

She’s getting more press for being anti vaxx than she has in her whole life. And Yes she’s anti vaxx despite the google word salad.

How about if celebrities stop weighing in on health issues, PERIOD -- unless they possess a medical degree.

She is desparately to bactrack, her explaintion is not even a good lie. People with real medical problems can get exempted under the proposed law. It just prohibits fakery for pay from sleasebag doctors

Biel, shamil..no clarifying anything. Now she’s probably getting hate/shame/ mail, for her’s & Justins long believing in no vaccines. Their back tracking their stance in fear they’ll lose fans. I hope at least now some non-believers in Science will get their kids Vaccinated

Nice try, girl. You just don't wanna face the backlash. Bye.

oh - phuque anti-vaxers!!! they endanger a lot of US folk. she should do something about families in cages - that'd be the humane thing to do

Vaccines cause autism Fact

NobodyCares

Please quote Doctors. Enough of the celebrity bs.

News Media advancing vaccinations: It's sort of equivalent to going to the Doctor for excessive nightmares, and the doctor prescribes that you watch all the Friday the 13th movies just before going to bed, because he advertises on that channel for sleep deprivation books & audio.

All due respect to Jessica, she looks like a lovely girl. But why the hell does the media think we are interested in her opinion about vaccinations?

The bill does not stop people who need medical exemptions from getting a medical exemption if they need one though, Jessica. It does seem to make it more difficult for a family to fraudulently claim medical exemptions.

“Vaccination - A Shot In The Arm” novel J Biel

We're still in cult status, I see. Let's ask journalists to organize the best debate using smartest anti-vaxxers and conventional public health guy. DEBATE using facts and stated evidence--not censorship of wrongthinkers

fake news , who cares about this smoke?

Bigger issue is we can't trust the scientific community. Central Bank Tyranny has infected all facets of society. MSM lies constantly and everyone knows it. Duke is but one of many schools busted for FAKE medical studies. What's in Vaccines? Who the fuck knows.

Democrats want the government to have no part of decisions made between the mother and the doctor, as long as they decide to kill the baby before it's born. Afterwards, they want the government to have complete control of your children.

This is the equivalent of saying “I’m not racist but (insert racist comment).”

Oh. Our kids should get vaccinated so that we can protect kids whose parents can afford phony letters from quacks don’t get the measles.

Vaccinate your kids, or you'll catch Jessica Biel.

I'm bringin' small pox back (yeah) Them other boys don't know how to vax (yeah) That rash is special, growing on your back (yeah) So turn around and I'll pick up your cough (yeah)

Give it a shot...

Hey Jessica 🖕🏻

I get it, but like everything else in the world people take this to the extreme and say “it’s against their religion to get vaccinated”.

Everybody doesn't live behind walls, or fly on private jets, we live in community, which requires members to do things for the common good not individual convenience. PuttingPeopleAtRisk

If living in a democratic run state better get vaccinate,decease dirty needles ppl shi*ing in the streets,homeless ppl everywhere rat explosion, elections have consequences!Dem run states destroyed!Or.Use2be beautiful now like CA.KateBrown gov.dem.RonWydensen.dem.Jeff Merkley dem

Why do people back peddle? If you said what you meant and meant what you said have the fortitude to stand up for what you believe, or don't say it in the first place.

Translation... “I am not vaccinating my kids”

I smell 💩

Whew! I thought you were insane.

Why is this. Autism was 1/150 now 1/80 I have my believe where it comes from. I will keep it to myself unless you ask.

Huh?🤷🏻‍♂️ JessicaBiel vaccination Huh

Why is she against such a good bill? Requiring medical evidence of a contraindication is prudent and is the foundation of sound medical decisions and care. Parents shouldn’t be allowed to make epidemiological decisions without providing convincing weight of evidence.

We all wait with baited breath for priviledged, actors living in a fantasy world, to provide us with clarity on issues. Feel better already.

Kelanjutannya nih AKFelicia

...who?

Jessicoward

Translation: there is a backlash so she is trying to do damage control

I am still amazed how someone who excels in a particular field such as acting gets a level of credibility in a non related field like medicine🤔

JessicaBeasles

I'm guessing ByeFelicia will be trending for a second day. 😂

If there is a legit medical issue why someone can not get the vaccine, then there should be no problems with showing medical documentation that there was an issue. This bill is just making it harder for people to lie about their 'medical reasons' for not vaccinating.

Damage control time. Don't think it's going to work though.

this is what we call 'backtracking cuz her agent and publicist told her how big the backlash has been' haha

liar. the new bill has an exemption clause. it just requires a doctor to fill out a form

No exemption of any kind. Kids to be treated with vaccine to be protected with disease.

Are her children vaccinated?

JessicaBiel Are those legit exceptions like all of the phony certs that pet owners get so they can bring their animals on planes. It is a cottage industry where people do a phone interview with some dr who has no personal knowledge of the patient

So we let children choose their gender, but not whether or not they should be vaccinated?

No medical exemptions unless a true allergy or medical problem verified by a real doctor. If not vaccinated, then no public life.

JessicaBiel is a blatant liar and hypocrite. There is documented evidence of her prior statements against child vaccinations.

I’m sure people will find ways not to vaccinate there kid Sorry, vacation or leave the country

If you make your decision on vaccines based on Jesica Biel you deserve polio

SHE NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT HER OWN KIDS . WHILE SHES WORRIED ABOUT EVERYONE ELSES

I’m really torn. On the one hand anti vaxxer idiocy. On the other hand great booty.
