Dr. Bob Sears, an Orange County pediatrician and nationally known critic of vaccination laws, faces the loss of his medical license after the state medical board accused him of improperly excusing a toddler from immunization and endangering both the child and the public.The Medical Board of California contends in legal documents released Thursday that Sears committed "gross negligence" and deviated from standard practice when he issued a letter in 2014 prescribing no more vaccines for the child.In the six-page accusation, the medical board faults Sears for failing to obtain a detailed history of a 2-year-old patient's vaccines before writing the letter and instead relying on the child's mother, who described how the boy lost urinary function and went limp in response to previous immunizations.
