Anti-Vaxer Benchslap!

Brown v. Smith, No. B279936 (D2d Jul. 2, 2018)

Talk about calling bullshit. The Court here took judicial notice that the factual allegation at the core of Plaintiffs’ theory was false and thus that it didn’t need to be taken as true in their complaint. Because Plaintiffs are antivaxers. And because it is not really debatable, California courts have been taking judicial notice of the fact that vaccines are safe and effective since 1925. Which pretty much dooms plaintiffs’ case, in which they claim that their nonsensical anti-scientific feelings give them a constitutional right for their kids to spread measles to other kids in Disneyland. 

Affirmed.
