I am appalled at Senator Bob Duff’s actions against parents and vaccine-injured children in Connecticut.
On Tuesday, Feb. 16th, the largest public hearing in the State of Connecticut took place to review HB-6423 and SB-568. These bills are asking for the removal of the religious exemption for vaccines in the State of Connecticut. If either bill passed, thousands of children would be removed from Connecticut schools due to their religious beliefs and medical conditions.
Over 2,000 people signed up to testify but the leaders of the committee limited the time frame to just 24 hours. This only allowed just over 200 speakers to have their voices heard, silencing the majority. Of the over 200, only 10 supported the bill. The testifiers were made up of parents giving heartfelt testimony about how their children have been injured due to vaccines, how their religion opposes vaccines and how the medical exemption does not cover actual medical issues, thus making their children at high risk for vaccine reactions.
