I’m sorry but Bachmann is a hypocrite.
In her state Heb B Vaccine is mandated with NO opt out.
Yet:
The hepatitis B vaccine has been linked to immunological and neurological disorders.
By Ben Howe, Red State
What’s worse than a mandatory vaccination that never actually came to law and, even if it had, contained an opt-out? According to Michele Bachmann, nothing. In fact, if you listen to Michele Bachmann these days, you’d think Governor Perry was strapping 12 year old children to tables to inject them when he takes breaks from using the other needle on inmates..................
By all appearances, she felt no need to mention, much less work towards stopping, a vaccination that, by her own standards, is an assault on liberty.
Even more so actually. The HPV vaccination, while called mandatory, made available an opt-out provision so that the parental rights that she felt were so paramount could be protected in this decision.
The Hepatitis B vaccination in Minnesota (state law since 1993) doesn’t even require parental consent at all. And Hep B’s communicability is similar to HPV in that it is primarily transmitted through intercourse, as opposed to being an airborne illness.
Currently, no records can be found of Michele Bachmann sponsoring legislation in the Minnesota legislature to repeal the Hep B vaccination or to add a parental opt-out.
No Opt out in Minnesota? Don't be sure about that!
www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/minnesota.aspxIf a notarized statement signed by the minor child's parent or by the emancipated person is submitted to the person having supervision of the school or child care facility stating that the person has not been immunized as prescribed because of the conscientiously held beliefs of the parent of the minor child or of the emancipated person, the immunizations specified in the statement shall not be required. This statement must also be forwarded to the commissioner of the department of health.
That is almost exactly the same as in Texas; and that sort of regime applies to ALL vaccinations, in both states.
I can look up and link to the relevant statutory provisions, if you like. I did look that material up for Texas. If you want to review the source legislation and regulations (for Texas), start at Post 119 in this thread, and read down to post 124.
Hepatitis B vaccine is not just transmitted by sexual activity. It can be transmitted from a mother to infant or to husband, or other children in the household. It can be transmitted playing sports,, needlesticks, blood or body fluids o the eyes, nose. Heapatis B is a safe stable vaccine that I have been giving for about 25 yrstd.
