Yes, the submission is about California. Like many (most?) discussions on HN, topics wander, and this particular thread, starting at the top, we've already expanded beyond California:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37807408

"In downtown Toronto"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37807592

"Nobody in the USA wants anything like that. The bad optics alone would be enough to convince Americans to go back to the War on Drugs."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37808117

"In the US liquor is sold in corner stores."

While California is big, it's not the entire US, and this particular thread is (taking the commenters at their word) is about more than just California.

They're both published by NIH.

One of them was published in Vacunas

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?term=%22Vacunas%22[T...

The other was published in Science Advances

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?term=%22Sci+Adv%22%5...

Noted on one of the pages:

As a library, NLM provides access to scientific literature. Inclusion in an NLM database does not imply endorsement of, or agreement with, the contents by NLM or the National Institutes of Health.

I think an unfortunate number of people assume that because an article appears in the pubmed section provided by the NIH that it's somehow endorsed or published by the NIH. That's not the case.
