Ask Cook County Board of Commissioners to Reverse Vaccine Mandates
January 11, 2022
Here is a message from our colleagues, Vaccine Safety Council of MN that we thought you might be interested in.
Oppose SF610 NOW which would allow daycare providers to discriminate against children who have not received all recommended vaccines in Minnesota. This would be a clear violation of religious rights and human rights.
SF610 has been scheduled for a hearing on Thursday, February 15th at 8:30 am!
This is the bill we’ve been watching that would allow daycare providers to discriminate against children who have not received every vaccine on the recommended schedule by preventing those children from attending.
It would amend the current, long-standing statute allowing exemptions from vaccines due to the conscientiously held beliefs (which include matters of faith) of the parent or guardian of the child. The new bill states:
“This exemption does not apply to a child care center licensed under chapter 245A and Minnesota Rules, chapter 9503, and a family child care provider licensed under chapter 245A and Minnesota Rules, chapter 9502. A child care center or family child care provider may adopt a policy prohibiting a child over the age of two months who has not been immunized in accordance with subdivision 1 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 4604, from enrolling or remaining enrolled in the child care center or the family child care program.”
Please take action NOW!

SF610 seeks to allow daycare providers to discriminate against children who have not received all recommended vaccines in Minnesota. This would be a clear violation of religious rights and human rights.
As a lawmaker, you are surely aware that the FDA has stated:
“FDA’S LICENSURE STANDARDS FOR VACCINES DO NOT REQUIRE DEMONSTRATION OF THE PREVENTION OF INFECTION OR TRANSMISSION”.
By the FDA’s own standards, there is no such thing as a “vaccine-preventable disease”. A child who was vaccinated can get and spread disease as much or even more than a non-vaccinated child. Copy and follow the link below to view the document where this admission is made:

Knowing that vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission of disease AND knowing that thousands of children are harmed or killed by vaccines every year, there is absolutely no good reason to force healthy children to receive these potentially dangerous products in order to be able to attend a daycare center.
Do the right thing, and vote NO on SF610!
(We encourage you to add a personal story to this message about the discrimination of our children and why it’s important to you!)
