These Governors Are Refusing to Mandate COVID Shots for Kids
PJ Media ^ | 10/26/2022 | Athena Thorne

Posted on 10/26/2022 9:39:40 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

All together now: Healthy children are at a vanishingly small risk for serious illness or death from COVID-19, and the novel mRNA shot can produce harmful side effects in young people, with myocarditis in young men being especially pronounced. In recognition of these clearly observable trends, some countries, such as Holland and the UK, have recommended children not get COVID shots.

Yet, inexplicably, the CDC’s advisory panel voted unanimously on Wednesday to add the COVID shot to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. (Well, inexplicable unless you look at them as compromised hacks in bed with Big Pharma.)

Panel member Dr. Sara Oliver noted that “the incorporation of the COVID-19 vaccine in the immunization schedule and the vaccines for children or VFC program is an important step in the inclusion of COVID-19 vaccines in a routine vaccination program” — even if that vaccine is superfluous and possibly dangerous.

While the VFC schedule is only a suggestion, not a mandate, it’s supposed to be the gold standard of best medical practices for kids. Thus, the individual states look to the VFC when setting their standards, with some state laws automatically mandating whatever the panel recommends.

This may have been an efficient and beneficial system back in the day when government work was seen as a patriotic service rather than an opportunity to push agendas and reap personal benefits. But since Leftism has corrupted pretty much every federal institution at this point, blindly following CDC recommendations is no longer the wisest course of action. Accordingly, quite a few governors and gubernatorial candidates are declaring that they will not mandate COVID shots for children — and not all of them are Republicans.

Naturally leading the pack because he is a natural leader, boss-Gov. Ron DeSantis assured his constituents he would never force a novel and unnecessary procedure onto their kids. “As long as I’m around, as long as I’m kicking and screaming, there will be no COVID shot mandates for your kids,” he declared in an appearance after the panel decision was announced. “That is your decision to make as a parent. These are new shots. … The surgeon general of Florida does not recommend this for young kids, for kids under 18. And basically, his reason for that is there’s not really been a proven benefit for that. … The important thing is, school districts are not mandating this choice.” Music to parents’ ears.

When one glances around various news sites, one finds reports of nearly two dozen governors who have stepped forward to declare their states will not mandate the novel mRNA shot for kids. Not surprisingly, most of them are Republicans, including:

Even before the CDC panel vote, many states already had bans on COVID shot mandates for kids in place, reports Epoch Times

Even some Democrat governors have opted not to mandate children get the shot. They are:

* Jared Polis (Colo.)

* Ned Lamont (Conn.)

* Laura Kelly (Kan.)

Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, has also said she will not ask the state legislature to pass a mandate — which of course doesn’t mean she would veto one if it lands on her desk.

Meanwhile, with elections close at hand, at least 10 Republican gubernatorial candidates have announced that they would also cancel any mandate for kids if elected.

Independent journalist Margaret Menge writes on Substack:

https://crossroadsreport.substack.com/p/11-governors-say-their-states-will

“10 Republican candidates for governor have declared they will not mandate the vaccines for school children if elected: Lee Zeldin in New York, Darren Bailey in Illinois, Heidi Ganahl in Colorado, Kari Lake in Arizona, Bob Stefanowski in Connecticut, Tudor Dixon in Michigan, Tim Michels in Wisconsin, Dan Cox in Maryland, Derek Schmidt in Kansas, and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania.”

MeeMaw Ivey didn’t have much of a choice; the vote to prevent mandatory shots was veto-proof.

We need a real conservative for governor.

Scott Jensen in MN has been a long term vax mandate skeptic, so I have to believe he’d be on that list of GOP gubernatorial candidates.

Here is where that Lee Zeldin could have stepped up in that breathless, defensive gnat swatting people still refer to as a debate last night. But no.

He’s in New York. He thinks he can’t trust enough of them to be sensible. I think he should give it a shot. Well. Maybe this is his way of doing that.

I believe he was interviewed on Tucker Carlson last night, and though it never came up, I thought I recognized him IMMEDIATELY as ONE of the very FIRST Doctors (along with one other whose name I can’t remember.) who came up with extreme skepticism about the whole nature of what was going on with “the Covid Project” and what was being foisted on Doctors and Hospitals literally at the very beginning, a few weeks after they managed to officially established some ‘New Normal’ parameters for it.

Check out what members of the European Parliament have to say about Pfizer. The contract Pfizer had with the European Union is secret...so secret that MEP are not allow to see it...page after page blacked out.

I had a doctor get really mad at me when I told him there was no evidence the vaccine stops transmission. He said the people at the CDC were good people and would not hide the truth.

Well now you have the EU and the Supreme Court of New York both saying the same thing...there is no evidence the vaccine stops transmission.

But people will get angry with you and tell you to obey the authorities.

Not a single mention of the ‘coincidence’ that liability is assumed by the Feds for products on the ‘recommended required’ list, which is a question a court is looking at currently.

The court case addresses the fraud from lack of required testing to get the product approved for EUA. Pfizer is claiming no liability for their fraud of not testing and representing a ‘safe and effective’ ‘vaccine’ that is not a vaccine, and has been proven unsafe and ineffective by the VAERS reports and Excess Deaths Reports.

This will be an excellent control group. Of course it is doubtful we will ever be given the truth about the results between the kids of a mandated vax state and no vaccines for kids state.

Greg issued ex order way back when OSHA (I think) tried to mandate it. That was right before the Supreme Court shot down the mandate.

I heard yesterday that TX regs were rewritten to remove CDC following from the vaccine list, TX will consider CDC list, but not follow it as written.

Pfizer admitted over a week ago that the jab was never tested for, nor intended to, and does not, prevent transmission. Of course big media is ignoring it.
