Thirteen states have prohibited proof-of-vaccination requirements at all or some levels of government. Three states with Democratic governors — Hawaii, New York, and Oregon — exempt fully vaccinated individuals from some COVID-19 restrictions if they can provide proof of vaccination.
If a single child is sickened or dies after injection, perhaps we should scientifically conclude — as with COVID — that it was caused by the injection, and hold McCormack and the rest legally and morally accountable for that preventable harm.
“Because Vermonters have answered the call, today I am announcing an opportunity to eliminate all restrictions sooner than originally planned. So, here is my challenge to Vermonters: If we hit 80%, I will lift any remaining restrictions and mandates that day. To reach 80%, we will need to vaccinate 27,954 more Vermonters.”
We will require all students, faculty, and staff living, learning, or working on campus in the fall to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, except for those with an approved medical or religious exemption.
“We know a lot about the upside of the vaccine. We’ve been completely in favor of vulnerable people taking vaccines. But what about the potential risks? You’d think you would know more about that than you do.”
More than 100 colleges across the U.S. have said they will require students to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in order to attend in-person classes. According to federal law, all Emergency Use Authorization products “are by definition experimental and thus require the right to refuse.”
Lawmakers proposed an amendment that would ban on any state agency or “business getting taxpayer money” from “compelling” employees or clients to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Rep. Timothy Baxter, R-Seabrook, said passports mean people “could discriminate against flying, travel, going to a job or simply going to the supermarket.”
“Fifteen days to slow the spread” has mutated, incrementally, into an insidious threat to human rights having less to do with a virus than with technocratic opportunism. Vaccine passports represent not a “new normal,” but something profoundly abnormal.
Barely one-fifth of Americans who have yet be vaccinated said they would receive Johnson & Johnson’s shot following its temporary pause by the Centers for Disease Control due to extremely rare blood clots, a new poll finds.
House Bill 220 would prevent the state from setting rules that prohibit access to schools, childcare and other congregate settings from people who haven’t been vaccinated. It also would prohibit private employers from requiring vaccinations, unless there is a “direct threat.”
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning Tuesday advising Americans and their health care providers to “pause” using the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after reports of health complications.
Based on the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and the Food & Drug Administration, Vermont has paused the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
