Committee Kills Anti-Vaccine Bill, Amidst Copious Out-of-Stater Testimony in Favor of Putting Public Health at Risk

1. Mary Walkes, MSN

   My expectations for a “freepress” organization would have been to educate your readers about this proposal with a compiled list of the proponent’s and opponent’s views.

   Are our citizens allowed Full Disclosure of the risks of a medical procedure such as a vaccine injections? Are your readers aware of the toxic ingredients in vaccines? Do they understand that vaccines have been deemed “unavoidably unsafe?”

   How many know that the manufacturers realize billions of dollars profit from the sale of vaccines, yet they have complete immunity from responsibility for safety and efficacy? Were your readers told that in 1986, when this release from liability was granted, the CDC was assigned to provide biannual reports to congress of their oversight? Have you informed your readers that thirty years later in a court challenge, it was determined there have been NO studies, NO reports. Why is it that the decline of our populations’ health with epidemics of auto-immunity has been vigorously ignored?

   Thank you for the opportunity to provide information for your readers. May they enjoy participating in this involuntary 30 year mandated medical experiment without oversight.

   I was amazed to see so many wingnuts turned out to testify in favor of this bill, including Mya Olson, founder of Health Freedom South Dakota, who claimed that “this bill is divinely inspired” and argued that there weren’t any outbreaks of disease prior to the state implementing its vaccination requirement in 1971.
   I guess she never heard about Laura Ingalls Wilder and her new husband, Almanzo, getting life-threatening diphtheria. Thankfully, we now have vaccines for that…

   Any time someone says something is “divinely inspired,” something inside me says, “This premise is probably BS.” ( I want to say something else, but Cory’s word nazi prevents it).

   Out-of-staters are bad. Like the demon weed, they are very bad.

   Some of the older boomers can remember the polio scare, which was staunched by mass vaccinations. I remember our class lining up and marching down to the gym at Mark Twain Elementary School in Sioux Falls. As we walked in, other classes had already gotten their shots. Some kids were whimpering a bit and rubbing their arms. Some of these were faking, trying to spook us.

   I’m sure we had to take something home to our parents to sign, but no one’s parents was going to chance not getting the vaccination unless there was some allergy issue. The TV news was full of kids lying in iron lungs because they couldn’t breath. We kids tried to figure out how serious this might be by holding our breath as long as we could. I think most kids figured out it was better to have the shot, than not be able to breath.

   One of my high school classmates survived polio, but his nerves were affected enough that he walked with a prominent limp. He had gotten polio before they had the vaccine.

   Donald, I, too remember the mass vaccinations in my town’s arena.
   I also recall my Grandfather’s tales of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic which killed millions in the US & worldwide.

   South Dakota, with its regressive, oldster population should give a crap about COVID-19, and trumps incompetent response, since the death rate is far higher the older a patient is.

   My family was quarantined in the mid-fifties when I contracted diphtheria. I was around three. I also remember the polio vaccinations and the “Red” scare of Russia in grade school.

   Out of stater named Hummel is about to become Soo Foo U’s all time leading three point shooter and she hails from my hometown of Cherokee iowa. Sounds like she is a lock for MVP.

   Bigly middle finger to Grudzilla and his unfounded fear of outsiders.

   Of course, passage of the bill will just give too many needed folks the excuse to move away.
   Bad enough that the RC schools will be mired in the twentieth century, we’ll never get a COSTCO !!

    Mr. Mike, because you are from Iowa you don’t understand that grudznick hates the high-brow private colleges, too. Full of out-of-staters, they are.

    Oh gawd, grudzilla. There be an illegal alien spying on South Dakota from the evening sky. It is the planet Venus and it is dirty dancing with the crescent moon up overhead. Even you scowling at it could never diminish the beauty nature has to offer.

    I think the whole pro-plague, pro-coronavirus thing is related to political populism.

    Nobody’s gonna tell us what to do!

    The results are similar in both cases as well.

    Tech has done so many good things, but it’s been fertile soil for conspiracy theories ad nauseam. Nothing is too wacky to promote. 🙄🙄🙄
