Last week Children's Health Defense and Parental Rights Foundation sued Washington, DC, asking a judge to block the deceptive mandate from taking effect. Mary Holland, President and General Counsel of Children's Health Defense, explained the lawsuit on "Washington Watch." "This is dangerous for children because parents won't know what vaccines their children get," she explained. If a child experiences an adverse reaction, "all of a sudden, their child could be deathly ill, and [the parents] won't know why." There is also a risk of vaccinating a child twice. Parents could take their child to their family pediatrician to administer a vaccine the child already received at school. For most medicines, twice the recommended dose is not recommended.

"Parents have to play a role in these decisions," explained Holland, because "every vaccine, every drug, carries potential benefits and potential risks." But this law is "very intentionally designed to deceive parents." It "requires healthcare personnel to provide accurate immunization records to the Department of Health and to the student's school, but not to parents." It allows students to get vaccines at school without notifying their parents, and even authorizes schools to go behind parents' back and bill their health insurance without their knowledge. "This is active concealment required by ... law," warned Holland.

Of course, some vaccines are more controversial than others. Of particular concern is the COVID vaccine, which is authorized for emergency-use only, was only recently authorized for emergency-use on children aged 12-18, and has not received final FDA approval. Is it wise to inject children with a vaccine not yet fully tested, for a disease they are least at risk for? Parents should at least have a say. Then there is the HPV vaccine, which protects against sexually transmitted diseases. What are we assuming by giving such a vaccine to 11-year-olds? The point is not the merits of these vaccines, but rather that parents are best positioned and have a right to make decisions concerning their children's healthcare (that's why they're called "guardians"). As with critical race theory and transgender ideology, the DC government is using the schools to shut parents out.

Federal law mandates that parents receive Vaccine Information Statements, which provide parents with critical information to be given informed consent and care for their children receiving vaccines. DC's parent-deception act violates federal law. "It's un-American," said Holland, not to mention "potentially precedent-setting."

DC's precedent is already being copied. Last week, the Massachusetts legislature introduced the Community Immunity Act, which would largely adopt DC's policy throughout an entire state. Massachusetts parents incensed at the changes dragged a public comment hearing out for 13 hours—past 1:00 in the morning. This is a model of what parents can do to fight back against those who want the state to destroy parental rights. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
