On an island,

Unfortunately, the vaccine tyranny is decades old, and since the 1986 Act, which removed liability from those who manufacture and administer vaccines, it has only gotten worse by the year. I gave the 12-minute rally speech below in 2015 in CA, before the “carve out” for home schoolers was added. Originally, the bill applied to every child in CA, 0-18, as it included those in daycare, public school, private school, and home school. The bill quickly became law in CA.

Vaccines, with no viable opt out options, have been, and continue to be, a requirement for an ever-increasing list of people: those in the military; children in daycare, and children in both public and private schools, in many states; many college students, those who work in hospitals and healthcare; those whose work takes them into hospitals, such as the elevator repairman; U.S. contractors who work in other countries; the children of those on government assistance; those in certain elder care housing situations; some surgery patients; some summer camp attendees; and likely more I have not listed.

Medical mandates cannot exist in a free and ethical society. Informed consent cannot happen in the presence of mandates. Exemptions to mandates are not an acceptable solution. A simple “no thank you” must always suffice when one wants to decline or refuse any medical treatment or procedure for oneself or one’s children, without any government interference, coercion, cost, or penalty. Vaccine mandates must be abolished, the 1986 Act must be repealed, and individual and parental rights with regard to healthcare and medical decision making must be fully restored.

Below is a link to my work, should you be interested to learn more :)

Don't Christian Scientists have the ability to decline medical treatments because their 'religion' tells them to (that's an oversimplification)? So there is precedent for this if we can figure out the right way to do it.

With regard to vaccine mandates, if there is not a religious, personal beliefs, or philosophical exemption available, they, too, must comply.

P.S. to my above post, regarding those required to be injected with vaccines. I thought of more categories of people to add to the list: foster children; families who foster children have to provide proof of vaccinations for their biological children, and for their pets, in many states; adopted children, including those adopted via private adoptions, are monitored by the state for one year, in part to ensure all those “well baby” appts are kept, and vaccinations had (I think this is nationwide, but not positive); mothers who want to adopt an embryo from a willing couple, so it won’t be “discarded”, must show proof of many vaccinations and/or titers (which prove nothing).

I may think of more yet to add to the ever-growing, tragic list.

Our foster child was forced to get shots. Injured by Dtap. Our biological were injured getting caught up in order to foster (didn’t know about religious back then) Then our second foster child was taken away because we were so vocal about injuries

Thank you for sharing your painful personal story with us, Susan.

We must stop this Vaccine Holocaust, and to do that, we must regain our right to refuse vaccinations. To that end, I wrote an article a few years ago which can be printed and shared, link below. To quote Maya Angelou, “When we know better, we do better.”
