Repeal BOH from making decisions
 

It's clear in the past that Virginia has always blindly followed the CDC/ACIP guidelines. What's even more clear is that there is a plethora of evidence this jab is harmful. Natural immunity has served people better than this genetic altering jab and the "breakthrough" cases. It's not a vaccine by any means. The proof of harm outweighs the zero benefits it has to offer. The European parliament has done a better job of protecting their children.  The Board of Health does NOT represent the people when they only allow ten people to speak from the public for two minutes each, then cut you off and not allow sentences to be completed. They have harmed patients from the beginning and still don't allow life-saving treatments. Children of Virginia should NOT become pawns or guinea pigs to TOXIC and EXPERIMENTAL jabs under NO circumstances should this jab or any for that matter be tolerated to be forced without Informed Consent. Fauci lied, people have died it's time to pick a side! Why don't you make manufacturers liable again and listen to doctors who are treating patients without the need for these jabs. That's right Profit has been chosen over HUMAN LIFE. Parents aren't having this! Look at the small percentage who've chosen willingly and now have injured or dead children.  Conflicts of interest are just that and trust in the system has already been eroded.  You should STOP The JAB altogether even the Pfizer executive has admitted it doesn't stop or prevent anything.

NO to adding COVID Jab to Immunization Schedule
 

There is absolutely no reason to add the experimental and harmful COVID injection to the immunization list for children. The risks of this injection far outweigh any benefits. The side effects (known and unknown) from this injection are a greater concern than the now obsolete benefit from injection. An overwhelming majority of the population now has natural immunity to COVID. Our innate immunity offers greater protection than an inoculation could provide. Given the lack of long term data on this injection, the numerous side effects being reported, and the lack of efficacy from the injection there is no reason to include the COVID shot to the schedule.

NO to adding Covid jab to school schedule
 

This jab does not act as a vaccine in preventing spread and, even if it did, we know that children have a minuscule risk of severe symptoms or death from Covid, so there is no justification for making it mandatory for school children. Parents who want their children to get jabbed will have that option. The only reason to mandate it to school children is to line the pockets of the manufacturers and the politicians who receive financial support from them. We all know this, so please do not try to pull a fast one on Virginia parents. We won’t stand for it.

Limit vaccines to those proven effective with longitudinal human testing studies
 

I have nothing against vaccines for children that have been proven effective in longitudinal human testing processes with well-documented results.  However, I have strong objections to adding the COVID vaccine to any immunizations for children.  The COVID vaccine does not have longitudinal studies in animals. It has no longitudinal human testing studies or any published results therefrom. The COVID vaccine has a substantial history of associated negative effects in humans,  including myocarditis in young children,  and negative effects, including deaths, in young adult athletes in high school and college.  In some cases, the effect appears directly related to the vaccine, and in others there seems to be an associative relationship with a possible causative relationship.  Because of the number of negative effects, and the uncertainty of long-term effects in humans, combined with the inadequacy of the testing done prior to introduction of the vaccine, and the protections given to the manufacturers by the Federal government against lawsuits resulting from personal injury from the vaccine, I am strongly opposed to adding the COVID vaccine to any of the vaccines now being given to children as a condition of attending school.

NO to the COVID vaccine
 

The COVID vaccine should not be required for school for the following reasons:

  1. It does not meet the definition of a vaccine.  A vaccine prevents one from contracting the virus.  This is therapeutic at best, f it doesn't kill the recipient. 
  2. There are way too many instances of negative effects for this to be made mandatory.  Ten years ago, before the woke politicians and bureaucrats got offended at the drop of a hat, and big pharma got in their pockets, this vaccine would have been pulled from production.  No way it should be made mandatory!

Do the right thing by the people you serve and not big pharma - NO mandatory COVID vaccine for school.

You need to work on earning trust
 

Most people would be fine receiving vaccines if they were assured that the vaccines had gone through the proper testing and mandates were not influenced by big pharma. Covid erroded trust in the medical profession with mandates that were not effective. Pfizer has even stated they never tested the covid vaccine to make sure it would stop transmission. Focus on rebuilding trust with the people. Until then, no vaccine should be mandated without proper testing.

I don't believe that COVID shots are under consideration based on what I've seen from Gov Youngkin and AG Miyares, but to be clear given the choice between potentially sterilizing my kids and public school, there is nothing to consider.  I can tell you that I speak for many, many parents on this.  No one will inject my kids with the Bill Gate's vaccines.

No, no, no to these shots! Children are potentially damaged more severely from the shots than from the actual illness. It is a game of Russian Roulette if a person will get ill effects, permanent health damage or die after being injected. No to mandates!

No COVID-19 shot mandtes
 

There is absolutely no health need to add the Covid 19 shot to the childhood schedule. Children are at a negligible risk to any real problems associated with this sickness. At this point most have natural  immunity. But they are at a very real risk for sometime very severe or life threatening side effects from the experimental shot which is proven to be neither safe nor effective. Look at to the government VAERS or V safe data. The only ones benefiting from this program would be the drug companies. Is that really what we want for our children?

Thank you.

Absolutely NO to Covid jab mandates for children
 

It is astonishing that this is even a question of debate. These  experimental injections are not even real vaccines and anyone who has not been drinking the pharma-sponsored propaganda knows they don't even work. Even the CDC finally admits they do NOT stop transmission. Our CDC director is a perfect example: despite several boosters, she was out with Covid for over two week! So where is the possible justification for a mandate? These products should be removed from the market! Even if they did work, kids are at such low risk for Covid and there are cheap and safe antivirals that do work while there are numerous risks associated with these experimental jabs. More people are waking up to the lies every day. You will look like the evil fools in California if you mandate this for the innocent children of Virginia. I implore you to do the right thing. And while you're at it, remove the other vax mandates from the schedule, especially HPV. That's another scandal that we parents are waking up to.

No to vaccine mandates
 

If ever there was a personal "choice" issue, this is it.  One of my sons, while on active duty as a very healthy submariner, was mandated to take the vaccine, against his personal choice.  A day later he was hospitalized as a "heart attack" victim, only to later (days) learn, while in the hospital, it was not a heart attack but rather myocarditis; he was in fact among the very first cases of such, and was actually told by naval authorities not to tell anyone about this.  Complete garbage, and of course the rest is history, we now know the science was created and/or faulty, the "tests" were incomplete, and the proof remains that the vaccine does not deliver as promised.  Thankfully my son survived, but lost his ability (and Naval career) to serve any longer as a submariner, and is still experiencing health problems that could very well plague (and exhaust) him the rest of his life.  This decision is a no brainer, and our Governor was elected on several key issues, this clearly being among them.

No Vaccine Mandate for school children
 
  • CDC approval of the shots as safe or effective was not “evidence-based”
    • Healthy children under 18 have virtually no risk of death from COVID, a 99.995% recovery rate and the vast majority have minimal symptoms.  Most children are already immune. The shot does not prevent transmission or infection with the virus.
    • There are several drugs proven safer than the shot that are effective at treating and preventing COVID in children.
    • The CDC and FDA did not determine the long-term safety of the current COVID shots in children before instituting current child vaccine policies. There are many unstudied and thus unknown concerns about the shot such as fertility, cancer and autoimmune diseases.
    • The risks demonstrably outweigh the benefits of COVID vaccination in children. There is abundant evidence in official U.S. vaccine safety tracking databases that injuries from the COVID shots in children are catastrophic, including 64 U.S. deaths, 433 near-deaths and 308 permanently disabled.
  • The shot is not “routinely recommended” for children
    • An increasing number of countries (Denmark, Sweden, UK) and U.S. states (FL) have recommended against the shot in children, especially in younger children and babies.

No COVID Shot; Eliminate others not properly tested against placebo in long-term RCT
 

The CDC has lost the public trust.  VDH must break ties with their recommended schedule and apply actual critical thought to this regulation.  Any shot not tested long-term in a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized control trial should be removed from the list until proper testing is completed.  Anything less is malfeasance on the part of VDH.  This includes the ill conceived genetic treatment also known as the COVID-19 shots.   A thorough investigation of the link between increased childhood “vaccination” and increased childhood disease and mortality should also be immediately conducted and this regulation not enforced until complete with a satisfactory risk/benefit finding for each proposed requirement.

The COVID shot is not a traditional vaccine and is inadequately tested, particularly in children.

To Whom it May Concern 

I am writing to express my concerns about the Covid vaccine for children under 18!   I am against any government or entity who decides what is best medically for our children.  Parents make that determination.  Please consider the following:  

    • The shot does NOT prevent the virus.  Nor transmission.  Healthy children under 18 have virtually no risk of death from COVID, a 99.995% recovery rate and the vast majority have minimal symptoms. 
    • There are several drugs proven safer along with supplements and herbs proven to work than the shot!
    • The CDC and FDA did not determine the long-term safety of the current COVID shots in children before instituting current child vaccines.  Where is the safety data ? 
    • The risks demonstrably outweigh the benefits of COVID vaccination in children. There is abundant evidence in official U.S. vaccine safety tracking databases that injuries from the COVID shots in children are catastrophic, including 64 U.S. deaths, 433 near-deaths and 308 permanently disabled.

This is not about children’s health. It is about control and money for degenerate politicians. As of 7:07PM November 15, 2022 more than enough has been exposed regarding the harm Covid-19 vaccines are causing children and adults. At this point it is clear that politicians, health workers, corporations, and  judges who make attempts to coerce another person to get one of these deadly shots are trying to cause harm to our precious children. They should have all licenses revoked and be barred from holding public office.

What politician is making money off this? It is not about public health. This is unscientific malevolence.  2020 Covid had 99% recovery rate. It’s variants in 2022 are even less dangerous. Who’s making money off hurting children?

No Covid shot
 

The Covid shot (as it cannot be called a vaccine in the true traditional definition of the word), is ineffective in preventing infection, illness and transmission. Which begs the question- what is the point? There is more harm with these shots than benefits- myocarditis, pericarditis, blood clots. Despite the crippling effects this has had on so many who were coerced or forced to take the shot to continue to work or attend university. Please VA- do the right thing- be a leader among the country- say no to adding this experimental, ineffective shot to the childhood schedule for vaccines- because again- this shot is not in fact a vaccine.
