South Dakota Legislation: NO MANDATED VACCINES WHATSOEVER!!! (2020)
South Dakota Legislation: NO MANDATED VACCINES WHATSOEVER!!!
“House Bill 1235 states that ‘No public or nonpublic post secondary educational institutions may mandate any immunizations for school entry. A public or private post secondary educational institution may request any student to submit medical records. No educational institution may use coercive means to require immunization’.”
“The bill would make it a Class 1 misdemeanor for ‘any educational institution, medical provider, or person to compel another to submit to immunization,’ according to the bill text.”
“’Every person has the inalienable right to bodily integrity, free from any threat or compulsion that the person accepts any medical intervention, including immunization. No person may be discriminated against for refusal to accept an unwanted medical intervention, including immunization,’ the bill states.”

Religious Freedom for Vaccines: TRUMP’S New office at HHS
Read this link first
See this 8 minute TRUMP video second “Who will crush the serpents head”
NEW YORK is known to not only deny religious exemptions but to have created a limit on accepting them.
Just call and say…. co-sponsor S6141c or A8123a

You might also communicate to the Republican leaders of the houses that President Trump has set up a new office at the HHS for religious freedom (in case they haven’t heard) so that Republicans will vote as a unified party on the issue of religious freedom and vaccines. Although the new agency only mentions vaccines as it pertains to religious freedom and medicaid, the head of the Agency, who I understand is a deeply religious acolyte requests that all concerned with being denied religious freedom as it pertains to vaccines, send in a complaint.

Vaccine Bills that demand Church sign off on Religious Waivers
“Every Church claims that ‘we are the true Church’ and that they have some ultimate authority. We have the infallible Pope; the inerrant Bible.
The idea that the Truth of God can be bound in any human system; by any human creed; by any human book is almost beyond imagination. God is not a Christian. God is not a Jew or a Muslim, a Hindu or a Buddhist. All of those are human systems which Human being have created only to help walk us through the mystery of God. We honor tradition. We walk through the tradition. But the tradition does not define God. It only points to God.
. -Bishop John Shelby Spong
“No one church, its representative or the government has the authority to define religion, to authorize, or substantiate an individual’s religious beliefs”
.…Eileen Dannemann, Director. National Coalition of Organized Women
VLA Comment paraphrased from Ageless Wisdom:
Religion is the name given to the recognition by the “part” of its relationship to the “Whole”. It is observed that there is a constantly growing demand by the part (individual) for an increased awareness of that Relation (God). Religion is the experience of the “seeking” aspirant to the “sought-for” Divinity. This archetypical drive towards wholeness (God) is natural to mankind, inherent in all individuals. Therefore, Religion is natural and personalized foremost to the individual and out of that comes human systems, not the other way around!

BREAKING NEWS: ITS CALIFORNIA LAW-ALL CHILDREN MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED TO ATTEND PUBLIC & PRIVATE SCHOOL
Governor Brown, today, has signed into law the END OF RELIGIOUS OR PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS FOR ALL CALIFORNIA CHILDREN. Read more…
Excerpt from Gov. Brown’s message:
“Thus, SB277, while requiring that school children be vaccinated, explicitly provides an exception when a physician believes that circumstances-in the judgement and sound discretion of the physician-so warrants”.
SB_277_Signing_Message (full)
VLA Comment: I take this as saying that it is California “law” that the Dept of Health cannot counter a physicians judgement.
More comment: This model legislation will will proliferate nationally. Next State legislative session will be overwhelming, especially, New York and Iowa.
Folks Religious Freedom laws are now center stage…opening the gates for our legal teams. Take this for example:http://www.ijreview.com/2015/06/355349-did-the-gay-marriage-ruling-just-leg… This article has a few attorneys weighing in. The article addressed gun permits. But the arguments, it appears to me, would also apply to the vaccine issue. AND have you noticed that there is now lots of talk about “religious” freedom that even clerks who issue permits feel they can deny issue a permit because of their own religious beliefs. What about the nurses who lose their jobs. However, I digress. Here is an excerpt:
2. In the majority decision, the judges argue that “certain personal choices central to individual dignity and autonomy” are now protected by Due Process:
This is not just an argument for religious waivers as in the language “personal identity and beliefs” but it could be argued that it is certainly offensive to parents individual dignity that the state should allow underaged children to get vaccines without the parents’ knowledge. And that the state and judges have the authority to force medical treatments on children against the parents’ deeply considered decisions regarding the health of their children. In this the state implies that parents make choices to harm their children. This is an effrontery to individual dignity and autonomy.
H.R. 2232 Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015 (Introduced in House (05/01/2015))
Introduced in House (05/01/2015)
Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015
This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from awarding grants to public entities of a state for preventive health service programs unless the state requires each student in public elementary or secondary school to be vaccinated in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The bill provides an exception for students whose health would be endangered by vaccination in the opinion of a physician conforming to the accepted standard of medical care. Read actual text…

Re: Religious exemption for all vaccines for my children…NAMES
To Whom It May Concern:
Allah, the Creator, the Designer, has organized for the destruction of most germs and viruses through natural means. Our bodies are holy. As our beloved physician and prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has told us, for every disease there is a cure. Islam prohibits Muslims from taking any harmful medicine or substance. If there is doubt or controversy, as in vaccines, Islam orders us to leave it completely. The final holy book, Al Qur’an, is my medical source for both prevention and cure of disease. To best prepare the body, the Muslim is required to use permissible nutrition from Yayyib (natural) food and drink. The human body is holy.
I would respectfully note that both my children have been officially exempt since birth from taking vaccines from our country of origin, Bangledesh.
You can edit and use whatever you feel is aligned with your religious views.
Note: If they want to interview you and ask you if you go to a doctor who has given your kids medicine (they are trying to get you to prove that you do take medicine)…Say no, if natural means are available. If a natural cure is not available, “If I am in doubt, I pray to Mohammed, the great physician, peace be upon him, to move forward or not. I have prayed about vaccines. Accordingly, the answer to my prayers is consistent. Vaccines are haraam.
