Religious exemptions and school vaccination mandates can continue to co-exist as they have done for the past 60 years! The DPH survey numbers from February 2021 show that CT is currently at a 97.5% vaccination rate and that BOTH religious and medical exemptions actually FELL in the 2019-20 school year. Veto it because it’s completely unnecessary. ⁽²⁾

CT was founded by Puritans. New England (and the US) invented religious freedom. CT has a much stronger connection to preserving the principle of religious liberty than either NY or CA. Discriminating against the religious is wrong. Watch Dr. Paul Offit admit there are aborted human fetal DNA fragments in some vaccines on the CT childhood schedule. Watch Dr. Stanley Plotkin describe the use of fetuses. Veto it to preserve religious liberty. ^{(3, 4, 5, 6, 7)}

The Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights clearly states that it is a human rights violation to withhold access to school for not consenting to a vaccine. Article 6 reads, “Any preventive ... medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.” Veto it to protect human rights because denying children access to public school is a disadvantage and prejudice. ⁽⁸⁾

The true bioethics standard for vaccines prioritize the INDIVIDUAL over society. Propaganda from the Pharmaceutical lobby obscures the true bioethical standards to increase revenue. Article 3 reads, “The interests and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society.” Veto it because it’s the ethical thing to do (now that you know the true ethical standard). ⁽⁹⁾

Thousands of religious freedom refugee families left NY after 2019, making Governor Cuomo “Realtor of the Year” in FL, NC, SC, and TN among others. Thousands of families left CA after 2015, making current Governor Newsom “Realtor of the Year” in TX, AZ, CO, and ID among others. If you sign this bill, you will become New Hampshire’s “Realtor of the Year.” CT is already losing population. You are on record as wanting to increase CT’s population. Veto the bill to avoid creating religious freedom refugees. ^{(10, 11)}
