What bizarro alternate universe is beaming instructions to Jerry Brown’s brain?

I wonder what bizarro alternate universe is beaming instructions to Jerry Brown’s brain?

As I told you a few days ago, California Governor Brown recently signed a new state law that will allow children as young as 12 to make decisions about vaccinating against sexually transmitted disease — without their parents’ consent or knowledge!

But on that SAME weekend he signed another law that prohibits kids under the age of 18 from using tanning beds — even if they DO have parental consent.

I agree that tanning beds are not a great choice for kids, or for anyone when used in excess. And excess is common because the UV exposure releases endorphins, which can set up an addictive cycle.

But to say, “Okay parents, we’re not going to allow your kids to use tanning beds, but their decisions about certain vaccines are completely up to them, and you can’t veto their decision” — that’s just ludicrous!

Clearly Gov. Brown isn’t thinking straight. Maybe he needs a little Ginkgo.
