NJ legislature ignoring the will of the people again (Opinion)

Yesterday in a packed committee meeting room, Senate President Steve Sweeney demonstrated once again that he doesn't answer to YOU the voters and residents. They were there to have a preliminary vote on S2177/A3818. These bills are designed to eliminate any choice parents have in determining the health and safety of their own children when it comes to vaccines.

This would take away the religious exemption for opting out of the overwhelming amount of vaccinations our kids are required to receive to be allowed into public schools. We've talked and written about how many children have been vaccine injured in this state and the statehouse annex was filled beyond capacity yesterday (they had to open up and overflow room) with desperate parents who wanted the bill not to pass.

In a sneaky, despicable move Sweeney replaced three Democrats who had planned to vote no, with members who voted yes. The vote was 6-4 to pass it. These are the kinds of maneuvers that prove you have no say in what goes on in your state. He removed the power of the representatives of the people with HIS will.

But he’s also a thorn in the side of Murphy whom he hates.

Un-vaccinated kids can’t infect vaccinated kids.

Who is at risk?

Don’t want to vaccine, don’t get it.

FWIW-
Some Orthodox also avoid MRI with contrast due to shellfish dietary exclusions.

Didn't Ayn Rand respond to that in her essay "The Virtue of Shellfishness"?

OK, I'll be Sirius.

Un-vaccinated kids can’t infect vaccinated kids.

When the government funds healthcare, the government can dictate the healthcare. To allow for the exemption, the law would also have to stipulate that all medical care relating to the unvaccinated illness would not be covered by government funds. That is never going to happen.

We have to take the side of anti-vaxxers? Is that what it comes down to? People should learn the basics: vaccines work by herd immunity. With enough herd immunity it becomes safer to not get the vaccine than to get the vaccine. That's why people opt out, it is in their self intrest. That's why vaccines are mandatory.

The vaccinated kids are at risk. When the disease like measles is eliminated, which it was here, then getting measles vaccine is obviously riskier than forgoing the vaccine. Then people stopped getting it. Then measles came back. Now we are once again a measles country.

Who is at fault? The anti-vaxxers.

If you exclude the parts of the state that are 10 miles on each side of the NJ Turnpike, it's a nice place.

My NJ county voted 53.1% for Trump in 2016, compared to 52.6% of voters in the State of Texas who voted for Trump in 2016.

(The last time the state had a conservative governor was 1944, and he was a Democrat! Unfortunately, the Turnpike strip has had enough influence to screw up the rest of the state for more than 70 years. If New Jersey south of the Raritan River could secede, we wouldn't all need to move to Florida.)
