It was a cold February night in early 2020 just before the COVID lockdowns in Hartford, CT. The world was about to change in ways no one was anticipating. Thousands of people lined up outside the legislative office building to testify before the public health committee to plea for their inalienable God given right to decline a vaccination for their child to attend school, university, and daycares. Vaccinations are liability free pharmaceutical products that come with side effects and no guarantee they will stop disease or the transmission of disease.
The State of New York had just repealed the religious exemption for children to attend school in June of 2019, kicking thousands of unvaccinated children out of school, including children with disabilities who needed public school support. Brooke Jordan was a mother with children in the New York school system at the time the religious exemption was repealed. Jordan drove from upstate NY to testify in Hartford in February of 2020. She arrived in Hartford at 7:30am to testify in wee hours of the next morning. She delivered a passionate testimony, sometimes in tears, as she told the story of her kids being kicked out of school. The hearing went on for 24 hours.
Mandatory vaccinations for children to attend public schools goes back to the early 60s in CT. Back in the 60s, there were just a few vaccines, but by the year 2020 there were more than 50 doses of vaccines containing 171-225 doses of antigens. Since the 80s babies have been routinely injected during the first few hours of life with the Hepatitis B vaccine. A vaccine that was studied for 4 days and was initially manufactured for adults with drug addiction or those working in the medical field exposed to blood and bodily fluids. All mothers are tested for Hepatitis B before birth. If the mother is negative there is zero medical reason to give this vaccine to newborn infants hours after their birth. Yet this is common practice in the United States. Babies are injected with 3 doses of the Hepatitis B antigens before they reach 6 month of age. Our children are vaccinated from birth all thru their 18 years of life.
School mandates have been at the forefront of the burgeoning CDC vaccine schedule. States use the CDC as a guide to mandate vaccines. The government than purchases the mandated shots to give to children. School based health centers have flourished throughout Connecticut since 2020. My local public school now has one. The health centers not only provide vaccines, but they also distribute medications to children without parental consent if the child is 13 years of age and older. In 2023 the State of Connecticut had a bill to allow children 12 years and up to consent to vaccination without parental consent. That bill was killed, however the state is still looking to pass this legislation. This is from a paper from the UCONN School of Law arguing to do just that in 2024.
"Medical autonomy for minors is an important concept, but also a difficult one to balance considering competing interests from parents and the state. These tensions between different interests resurface and become more conflicting than ever when looking at medical decision-making today in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. By looking at the success rates of other states, future Connecticut legislation can use these implications from the doctrine to help frame their own medical standards for minors.”
COVID broke out a month after the February 2020 hearing and the state was shut down. The bill to remove the religious exemption died. Zoom hearings became a new reality and as soon as possible, the State of Connecticut proceeded with a new hearing to repeal the religious exemption. It was one of the first items on their agenda after lockdowns. This time the hearing was held exclusively online in 2021. People were forced to testify via Zoom for 24 for hours. Their pleas were dismissed by a super majority and the religious exemption was repealed. Brooke Jordan’s prior testimony left a powerful impression on the legislative body, and they threw the people a bone by grandfathering in those already enrolled in school the right to stay in school unvaccinated. Some families were left in a bad place where siblings already in school could go to school, but their younger siblings could not.
Little did we know how bad the medical industrial complex would become in Connecticut since then. The removal of the religious exemption for vaccination was just the beginning. It’s hard to believe this has happened in Connecticut in modern times, we are the Constitution State after all, at least we once were. Families have since left the state to protect their children from the harms vaccines can cause, the harms they have personally experienced.
What kind of a society silences and forces medical products onto to people not willing to receive them? Especially considering that childhood vaccinations are completely immune to liability. If a child is injured by a vaccine, there is no legal recourse but a government tribunal known as vaccine court. Testimony after testimony in Hartford revealed that autoimmunity can indeed be triggered by a vaccination and the State of Connecticut recognized autoimmunity as a valid medical exemption as they repealed the religious exemption.

“I believe in vaccines. I believe they are good for public health. I also understand that vaccines are not for everyone and there are valid reasons why somebody would seek a valid medical exemption for a vaccination.” Representative Sean Scalon, public health committee, February 24, 2020
The rights of parents are being eviscerated by the state. It’s not just parents and kids anymore, it is everyone. COVID demonstrated how easily the government would act with mandates. New parents are now required to go to take their newborn to the pediatrician’s office two days after birth where they are offered the Hepatitis B vaccine if they refused in the hospital. If the new parents still refuse they will be subjected to a diatribe about how safe and effective vaccines are from the doctor. If they don’t do as the doctor says, they will be kicked out of their practice.
To make matters even more concerning for parents, the medical records of children 13 years and up in Connecticut are private, meaning the parents do not have a right to those records and must get permission from their 13 year old to view their own child’s medical records. All medical records are now reported to a new digital data system, CONNIE, this system was enacted via legislation in July of 2024. It is a digital database of all medical records of every man, woman, and child, in Connecticut using the system, unless they opt out. Most people are not aware of the CONNIE. Imagine the state system has access to your child’s medical records but you do not. Of course the state says it’s not looking at the data it has at it’s finger tips, but I digress…
The State of Connecticut is reshaping public policy where minors as young a 12 can consent to medical treatments without parental consent, from drugs to vaccines, who decides what health is, and what constitutes a healthy child? Are we a free society if the state can mandate medical products, tax you into paying for them, while denying you support if you are injured by their mandates?
"In 2018 the State updated CIRTS into a system called WiZ, This is a system that can check medical records held in a state cloud, where “authorized” people can access private medical data on vaccinations”
