The State of New York is now using Child Protective Services to open child abuse under educational neglect.
The States are diffusing Parental Rights legislation, again, but this time they are using immunizations of children platform to trigger that default to the grant of the rights to custodianship and guardianship, to be transferred to a corporate parent, who is privatized and foreign, which means there are no civil rights.
Medicaid is the cost-reimbursement source, which means there are lots of revenue maximization schemes being constructed and pitched.
The following is the testimony of Brooke Jordan on medical and religious exemptions for childhood immunizations.
I found it interesting that she met her GoFundMe goal.
Child welfare shall be a presentation to crush many spirits and rip many souls from the shadows of life, because no one wants to talk about the residuals of the peculiar institution.
Praise the lord because this is about Parental Rights and it started in Detroit.
A public hearing on the state's proposed vaccination legislation draws hundreds of supporters and opponents
The state's plan is to eliminate the current religious exemption for schoolchildren.
The debate over childhood vaccinations wrapped up shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday after raging more than 20 hours and through the night, sustained by upset moms from around the state who recoil at the prospect of government telling them how to take care of their children.
The public health committee next meets on Friday in Room 2D at the Legislative Office Building, said its chairwoman, state Sen. Mary Daugherty Abrams. The committee is not expected to vote at that time, however.
Drafted around the time measles was starting to make a comeback in a Jewish community in New York state, the bill would prohibit parents from citing religious or philosophical beliefs in refusing to vaccinate their children. It drew the ire of thousands at the state Capitol Wednesday, some of whom pulled their children out of school to join them.
One child was in the hearing room with her mother during testimony early Thursday. It wasn’t clear if the child was there all night; some of those at the hearing said they had gone home before rejoining fellow speakers.
Some speakers were emotional, with one mom unable to hold back tears. There were more than a dozen people in the hearing rooming at dawn.
On Wednesday, thousands of concerned parents gathered at the state Capitol to speak out against the bill, which would prohibit them from citing religious or philosophical beliefs as a reason for not immunizing their school-age children.
Parents with small children and posters reading “Parents call the shots" packed the Legislative Office Building, waiting for hours to get into a public hearing on vaccines, or one of several overflow rooms needed to contain the crowd, which was by far the largest at the Capitol this year.
Hundreds more vaccine skeptics gathered outside, chanting and holding signs that stated “Kill Bill 5044” and “I am informed, I do not consent."
Vaccine Public Hearing

Legislators on the public health committee heard hours of testimony from those on both sides of the issue, but the committee’s co-chairs said early in the day that it was unlikely the primary purpose of the bill, to eliminate the religious exemption, would change.
“We know what we’re talking about is highly controversial, but we’re confident that what we’re doing is in the best interest of the state of Connecticut,” said Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, D-Westport. “Though it may not be perfect and may go through some little tweaks between now and the time it reaches the floor, I am confident [the bill] addresses the current circumstances.”
In the 2018-2019 school year, about 96% of kindergarteners in Connecticut were vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. But the state Department of Public Health, following a record-breaking measles outbreak last year, has expressed concern about a small, but growing, percentage of religious exemptions that could create pockets of vulnerability to the virus throughout the state.
Between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years, the number of kindergarten students with a religious exemption jumped from 2% to 2.5%, a 25% year-over-year increase. The department estimated that 7,800 children had religious exemptions in the 2018-2019 school year.

“We’re going in the opposite direction,” state public health Commissioner Renee D. Coleman-Mitchell told legislators. “What’s to say that next year the religious exemptions won’t continue to skyrocket ... and we had a chance to prevent that from happening?”
But opponents said the bill was an example of governmental overreach. James Turkosz, a father from Woodbridge, said it removed his choice as a parent not to vaccinate his children.
In his testimony, Turkosz said he had spent countless hours and sleepless nights thinking about the vaccination issue. Under the current version of the bill, students without proper vaccines would be blocked from enrolling in school starting this fall. Exemptions would be granted only for specific medical reasons.
“People are scared,” Turkosz said, calling the 25% increase cited by the department a “misleading statistic.”
His wife, Kristen Turkosz, a public school teacher, called the bill “discriminatory” against children who are not vaccinated due to a religious exemption.

Other opponents raised concerns about the safety of vaccines, which doctors repeatedly addressed in their own testimony.
“I want to clearly, vociferously, state that vaccines are highly effective and safe,” said Dr. Saad Omer, director of the Yale Institute for Global Health.
“I believe individual parents come from the right starting point," he said. "It’s perfectly reasonable to seek information around vaccines or anything else. It is therefore our responsibility to make sure that information is correct.”

Omer asked legislators and families to take seriously the medical consensus that vaccines are safe.
“We have to do something about his,” he said. “We cannot sit around and not act in face of a real prospect of a resurgence of major disease.”
One health professional warned legislators that the large crowds at the Capitol Wednesday were not representative of how the majority of parents fell.
“You’re hearing from a very vocal minority,” said Dr. Linda Niccolai, professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, urging lawmakers to “listen to the experts, people who are professionally trained and have science on their side.”
Most Americans support mandatory vaccination for schoolchildren, according to public opinion polls. A 2016 Pew Research Center study found more than 80% of adults support the notion that healthy children should be required to receive vaccines in order to attend school because of potential risk to others.
Another study conducted by Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health last year found broad support for school vaccination requirements but more limited trust in the safety of vaccines themselves and in public health agencies.

In 2019, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health, Coleman-Mitchell told legislators. Much of the skepticism surrounding vaccines is due to misinformation, she said.
Common arguments against immunization include claims that vaccines are linked to autism or infect children with disease. Multiple experts testified Wednesday that neither of these claims are true.
Some opponents to the bill expressed concerns that eliminating religious exemption would be a violation of constitutional rights. In an opinion issued last May, Attorney General William Tong said the proposal was constitutional.
“There is no serious or reasonable dispute as to the State’s broad authority to require and regulate immunizations for children: the law is clear that the State of Connecticut may create, eliminate or suspend the religious exemption ... in accordance with its well-settled power to protect public safety and health," Tong wrote in his seven-page opinion.

Tong said the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the authority of states to “require and regulate immunizations for children.” The Connecticut Supreme Court has also upheld mandatory school immunizations, he wrote.
Gov. Ned Lamont Wednesday also voiced his support for removing the religious exemption.
“When it comes to the health and safety of our kids, it is our responsibility to act out of an abundance of caution,” he said, in a written statement. “Vaccinations are safe. They are the reason dangerous diseases disappeared for decades.”
BEHOLD! The Residuals of the Peculiar Institution.
We still cite law under the Thirteenth Amendment Exception Doctrine.
You will see in the parental rights movement that they used "to further a compelling government interest", more intuitively understood as Child Protective Services, otherwise known as "gerrymandering".

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)
This case involves the validity, under the Constitution of the United States, of certain provisions in the statutes of Massachusetts relating to vaccination.
The Revised Laws of that Commonwealth, c. 75, § 137, provide that
"the board of health of a city or town if, in its opinion, it is necessary for the public health or safety shall require and enforce the vaccination and revaccination of all the inhabitants thereof and shall provide them with the means of free vaccination. Whoever, being over twenty-one years of age and not under guardianship, refuses or neglects to comply with such requirement shall forfeit five dollars."
An exception is made in favor of "children who present a certificate, signed by a registered physician that they are unfit subjects for vaccination." § 139.
Proceeding under the above statutes, the Board of Health of the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the twenty-seventh day of February, 1902, adopted the following regulation:
"Whereas, smallpox has been prevalent to some extent in the city of Cambridge and still continues to increase; and whereas it is necessary for the speedy extermination of the disease that all persons not protected by vaccination should be vaccinated, and whereas, in the opinion of the board, the public health and safety require the vaccination or revaccination of all the inhabitants of Cambridge; be it ordered, that
Page 197 U. S. 13
all the inhabitants of the city who have not been successfully vaccinated since March 1, 1897, be vaccinated or revaccinated."
