Virginia Legislature Gives CDC, Board of Health Power to Mandate Vaccines for School Children
In the 2020 Legislative session, the Virginia Legislature passed H.B.1090, a bill that amended a law requiring children attending public and private schools in the state to receive vaccines (§ 32.1-46. Immunization of patients against certain diseases).1 Virginia Delegate Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) was the lead sponsor of H.B. 1090 introduced on Jan. 8, 2020, which proposed to automatically mandate that children enrolled in daycare or school receive all current and future vaccines recommended by the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
The final bill, passed by the Senate in March, granted Governor-appointed members of the Virginia Board of Health the authority to add federally recommended vaccines to the schedule required for school attendance with the exception of the annual influenza vaccination. The bill included an exemption from the requirements of Article 2 of the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4006 et seq. of the Code of Virginia), effectively blocking Virginia citizens and elected legislators from participating in the decision-making process that creates new vaccine mandates for children.
Abdicating Responsibility & Accountability: Eliminating Voters from the Vaccine Law Making Process
Under the U.S. Constitution, duly elected representatives in state legislatures have authority for making public health laws for state residents. In handing the power to make vaccine laws to unelected members of a federal advisory committee and state Board of Health, the Virginia legislature has abdicated responsibility and accountability to constituents by cutting out elected representatives and the voters who elected them from the vaccine law making process.2 Although the new law provides for a 60-day public comment period after the Board of Health issues a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action to add a new vaccine to the required list for daycare and school attendance, the legislature will never again hold a public hearing where citizens can testify for or against the addition of a new vaccine mandate for children.
Under the new law, the state Board of Health composed of physicians and representatives of medical trade and pharmaceutical-related associations like the Medical Society of Virginia, Virginia Pharmacists Association, Virginia Nurses’ Association,3 4 are expected to endorse vaccine use recommendations issued by members of the ACIP appointed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new law automatically adds up to 10 more doses of five vaccines for daycare and school children, including vaccines that the Virginia legislature previously voted against adding to the schedule, such as the very expensive meningococcal vaccine and HPV vaccine for boys.5
H.B. 1090, as amended, was passed during a special session held by the state legislature on Apr. 22, 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, MD signed the bill into law with an effective date of July 1, 2021.6

I hate when the politicians and physicians are mass vaccinating the children for the good of the community. When I was sick as a child and on steroids and meds for three years, my Mother did not take me shopping, or attending large events. I can remember a lot of time staying home and only in the neighboring communities. Somehow she was told that my immune system was fragile and large crowds and stores would expose me to infections. But now, the medical community encourages this and since the kids get all theses vaccines they say the kids would not be spreading their germs and infection. Look what this has done to a generation of children. Sick with autism, allergies, asthma, dyslexia, phobias and all the other things this is causing. I am truly troubled by Va.'s vaccine laws. One of my daughter's friends is due to have a baby this month. I worry about this and all the other babies.

An Editorial titled “COVID-19: Post-lockdown guidelines” has recently been published in International Journal of Molecular Medicine [1], and a companion monograph titled “COVID-19: Preventing Future Pandemics” has been posted on SMARTech [2]. Both are available Open Access. Appendix 3 of the monograph addresses issues related to COVID-19 vaccine development and safety testing. The findings may be of interest to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 researchers and clinicians, health policy professionals, Federal and State regulators of toxic emissions, and members of the public interested in improving resistance to future viral infections.

Sooooo, the western counties of Virginia were considering with drawing from the state and joining West Virginia.
Not that it will make much difference with mandated vaccines in either state.

Looks like VA needs an event similar to what will be taking place in CA next week:

Delegate Dawn Adams:
"But I feel like it is also very important to hear this and I know, it’s hard when you are a parent. Vaccinations are for the individual, they are, but they are also for the community and we live in communities. And I understand that sometimes [with] this medical availability [of vaccinations] that we have to do the best job we have for the most people [and this] sometimes results in unintended consequences, and that is a tragedy and [an] across-the-board reality in medical care."
So .. Ms Adams believes parents must sacrifice the health and well-being of THEIR CHILD .. for the health and well-fare of THEIR COMMUNITY? Really .. this woman is unqualified to occupy a position the allows HER to deny parents UNIVERSAL HUMANITARIAN RIGHT TO INFORMED CONSENT. How many children is Ms Adams willing to sacrifice for her COMMUNITY???? Ten? Twenty? Thirty? 1 in 35 already diagnosed autistic .. HOW MANY … 1 IN 2?
Senator Dick Saslaw:
'There were a ton of moms who showed up all with their kids in opposition to it. Those people who spoke in favor of it were a group of various doctors representing various aspects of the medical profession. Let me repeat that, the people supporting this bill are the people who have to deal with these diseases. All of the emails and support I’ve gotten for this have come from doctors over the commonwealth and people who deal with diseases. Well, you say these people know what is best for their kids. In theory that may be right, except for the fact that they are not only putting their own kids in jeopardy but they are putting other people’s kids in jeopardy as well."
According to Dickie … "the people supporting this bill are the people who have to deal with these diseases". Really? Doctors are dealing with vaccine injured children for the child's entire life? Who knew? I thought it was PARENTS who are dealing with THEIR CHILDREN'S LIFE-LONG, LIFE-ALTERING, LIFE-TREATENING VACCINE INJURIES … DOCTOR'S ARE BEING FINANCIALLY REWARDED FOR '"TREATING" THOSE CHILDREN FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES .. PARENTS ARE PAYING THEM FOR THEIR TREATMENT OF INJURIES CAUSED BY DOCTORS VACCINATION PROTOCOLS.
Duh … DOCTORS SUPPORTING MANDATORY VACCINES MAKE HUGE FINANCIAL PROFITS FROM THEM … PARENTS OPPOSING VACCINE MANDATES WANT ONLY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THEIR CHILDREN … DOES DICKIE KNOW WHAT "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" LOOKS LIKE WHEN IT IS STARING HIM RIGHT IN HIS FACE?????
