Exemptions

A Minnesota law passed in 1905 stated:  “…no rule of the state board or of any board or officer shall at anytime compel the vaccination of a child, or shall exclude, except during epidemics of smallpox and when approved by the local board of education, a child from the public schools, for the reason that such child has not been vaccinated.”
Vaccine promoters like the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health often claim that vaccines saved us from scourges like measles. History shows that measles deaths had dropped to near zero in the U.S. over a decade before a vaccine for measles was even licensed here.
Conversely, public health officials and media routinely omit reporting the harm caused by vaccines. Since the passing of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, there have been over 116,000 reports of harm and death reported to VAERS for just measles-containing vaccines. A CDC-funded study showed that less than 1% of adverse reactions are even reported to VAERS.
Informed Consent
Article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights states:
“Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.”
And true informed consent would require that consumers be notified that:

• Vaccine manufacturers bear no liability for deaths and injuries caused by vaccines.
• No long-term pre-licensure safety studies were performed on any vaccine on the current CDC recommended schedule.
• No vaccines on the current CDC schedule were safety tested against a true inert placebo before being approved.
• The FDA does not require vaccines to prove they stop infection or transmission to be licensed.

Since 1978, Minnesota statute 121A.15 has allowed exemptions for those with medical contraindications and religious or conscientious objections to vaccines to attend schools or daycares. Representative Mike Freiberg has repeatedly introduced bills to remove our conscientious exemption, despite vehement opposition from parents and health freedom groups, Sadly, he was recently successful in inserting language into the law through an omnibus bill.  This language now allows daycare providers to adopt their own policy preventing non-vaccinated children from attending – even if that center is accepting taxpayer-funded grants. This has put an undue burden on parents, while exposing innocent children to “unavoidably unsafe” vaccines.
Riding the pharma-driven media hysteria created by recent small outbreaks of measles, Representative Freiberg’s most recent bill (HF3239) would take the next step toward chiseling away our freedoms by eliminating the long-standing conscientious exemption for the MMR vaccine.
In addition to the above listed issues, be aware that testing for the MMR-II vaccine had the following deficits:

• Children up to age 18 were included in the test group, but the vaccine is given to 1-year olds.
• They only reviewed safety for 42 days after injection.
• They excluded people with allergies to eggs, chicken, duck, or neomycin in the trials – but do not inform people with these allergies they should not receive the vaccine.
• They did not test on anyone with leukemia, immune disorders, febrile respiratory illnesses or infections – but do not inform people with these same issues they should not receive the vaccine.
• OVER HALF THE STUDY SUBJECTS SUFFERED ADVERSE REACTIONS yet they proclaimed the vaccine “safe”!!

This is how they do it, unfortunately. Until standards are changed by the regulatory agencies (who are supposed to be protecting the PEOPLE, not the pharmaceutical industry) we must continue to fight for our right to say no to any or all vaccines. We must elect legislators who support parental rights and bodily autonomy!
At least for now there are no “required” vaccines in Minnesota. Parents need only submit a vaccine record for school or daycare entry, which can either be a legal exemption form or a record of shots your child has received. Conscientious exemptions must be notarized, and medical exemptions must be signed by a doctor.
That’s it.
We strongly advise AGAINST using the MDH exemption form.  You would be signing off on an unsupported statement that by not vaccinating your child you may be putting them or other children in danger. Remember – the FDA has admitted that vaccines do not need to prevent infection or transmission of the targeted disease!  Vaccinated people spread disease as much or more than non-vaccinated people.  And it is a fact that every vaccine is capable of injuring or killing the recipient.  So, it would be just as appropriate to have the parents who CHOOSE to vaccinate their children sign such a statement.
