Pan, a pediatrician, made waves this year with a proposal to vaccinate all school-aged children in the state against COVID-19, without exemptions for personal beliefs. His plan, which he introduced before the FDA fully approved the shots, went even further than California Gov. Gavin Newsom&#8217;s (D.) first-in-the-nation attempt to order blanket immunizations for California kids. The largest doctors&#8217; lobby in the country, the AMA sets professional and ethical standards for physicians and shapes federal healthcare policy.<\/p>\n<p>Pan&#8217;s appointment comes amid <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/coronavirus\/the-hijacking-of-pediatric-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing politicization<\/a> at the AMA, which doled out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/orgs\/american-medical-assn\/summary?id=D000000068\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearly $19.5 million <\/a>in political contributions last year. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which the group cosponsors, last year <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/doctors-warn-new-medical-school-guidance-would-lead-to-unqualified-physicians-and-unscientific-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declared meritocracy to be &#8220;malignant&#8221;<\/a> and said that race has &#8220;no genetic or scientific basis.&#8221; These claims followed the release of a coauthored guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/system\/files\/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;advancing health equity,&#8221;<\/a> which calls the &#8220;\u2018free&#8217; market&#8221; a euphemism and touts intersectionality.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Pan termed out of the state Senate seat that he held since 2014. He practiced medicine throughout his tenure as a lawmaker and has stayed active in the AMA for years. Since 2017 he has served as a California delegate to the group, and formerly served as a member of the association&#8217;s Council on Medical Education. The AMA did not comment.<\/p>\n<p>Pan&#8217;s COVID vaccine proposal came after some of the state&#8217;s largest districts\u2014including Los Angeles Unified\u2014put their own mandate plans on pause amid low uptake rates <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19.ca.gov\/vaccination-progress-data\/#age-ethnicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">among black and Latino<\/a> kids. Districts like Los Angeles Unified wanted to move unvaccinated students back into online classrooms where many students languished during California&#8217;s record-breaking school closures. Judges struck down these mandates, however, and Los Angeles Unified agreed this summer not to appeal a court order.<\/p>\n<p>Pan withdrew his bill in April amid lack of support from his colleagues and the state&#8217;s low vaccination rates among kids. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/californiahealthline.org\/news\/article\/state-senator-richard-pan-champion-tough-vaccine-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acknowledged the shots weren&#8217;t blocking new variants.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But his stance was in line with the AMA&#8217;s. The group strongly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/press-center\/press-releases\/ama-statement-covid-19-vaccines-children-under-age-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed the COVID shot<\/a> for kids, declaring it &#8220;imperative that all parents in all jurisdictions have access to the vaccine for infants and children,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former California state senator whose proposal to mandate coronavirus vaccines for school children was too radical for the progressive state legislature\u00a0is now consulting with the American Medical Association.<br \/>\nThe post California Dem Behind Radical Plan To Vaccinate Children Joins American Medical Association appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1604,"featured_media":1772891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[4123,8278,4092,4045,4294,6244,4454,4268,4025,4993,5388],"class_list":["post-1772886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-american","tag-association","tag-beacon","tag-california","tag-children","tag-dem","tag-joins","tag-medical","tag-plan","tag-radical","tag-vaccinate"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1772886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1604"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1772886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1772886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1772891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1772886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1772886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1772886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
