MVC ACTION CENTER

Fight for Exemptions! OPPOSE HB 6205-6210
Action Alert
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' biggest goal is to increase vaccine uptake. What better way to increase vaccines than to impose on your right as a parent/guardian or even the owner of a daycare to an exemption? House Bills 6205 through 6210 take away your right to an exemption, your child's right to a free public education and your right to maintain the privacy of yours and your child's private health information.  

We have 3 days of action

Do one, do all, gather with friends, family, patriots and parents who might need your help! Please take a moment to scroll through the directions below.  We have listed the Main HOUSE phone number for everyone to call and then the 3 committees to which the bills were referred.

HB6205 revises the Public Health Code
These draconian bills would codify the practice of forcing parents to attend a one-sided lecture on the benefits of vaccines, without proper informed consent, or discussing true benefits vs. harm.

For Medical Exemptions:

  • Forces doctors to use a form prescribed by the health department for a medical exemption. This interferes with the doctor-patient relationship, forcing doctors to include information about the child that has nothing to do with their medical status.
  • Interferes with the doctor practicing medicine, as they have taken an oath to do.
  • Increases data reporting requirements, adding more steps to a doctor visit to collect private data to which the department does not have a right.
  • Compels speech: forces a doctor to say that a contraindication to vaccines puts the child at risk for a vaccine preventable disease.


For Non-Medical Exemptions:

  • There is zero provision in the bill to indicate IF this information is being gathered, stored and or shared with other 3rd parties, completely violating health privacy rights required by the statute.
  • There is no provision for the addition of this data to the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR).
  • There is no "opt out", if this process violates religious beliefs.
  • Forces parents to agree to the exclusion of their child for any reason the Health Department deems a "disease control measure", even if the child is healthy.
  • Compels speech: forces parents to agree that by waiving vaccines, they are putting their child and others in danger

 

HB 6208 Revises the Childcare Act

  • Requires for all employees of childcare, group homes and school age care outside of school to be vaccinated, provide proof of vaccination.
  • There is no exemption.
  • There is no mention of which vaccinations or how often, allowing the department to add more vaccinations at will.

 

HB 6210 Revises the Public Health Code

  • Hold more vaccination clinics
  • Requires that Local Health Department provide a list of school's vaccination percentage, exemption status and the surrounding schools to the local
  • The goal is to increase vaccine uptake, to reduce exemption rates below 5%

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3

Call and Email the Education Committee about HB6206 and HB6207

HB6206 Changes the Revises School Code

  • Most notably, this bill removes the religious and other (philosophical) language entirely. This bill goes against the state and federal constitution.
  • This bill is tie-bar with 6205, yet sent to a different committee, presumably to hide the nature of the bills from lawmakers.

 

HB6207 Revises the School Aid Act

  • Allows for MDHHS to take away school funding if the increased reporting requirements are not met. Thus, turning school administrations into arms of MDHHS.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4

Call and Email the Regulatory Reform Committee members about regulatory reform for HB6209

HB6209 Revises the Child Care Act

  • Forces small business owners to provide vaccination status of employees. Presumably, MDHHS will require these businesses to begin using MCIR in their businesses for reporting vaccinations of adult employees. This goes against the current statute for MCIR, as it is a "childhood registry".
  • Business owners are not equipped to deal with private health information and the privacy laws surrounding this private information.
  • Business owners for daycares and group homes become enforcement for MDHHS, or face the threat of being shut down.
  • Referred to a committee that is not health or education, presumably to separate from HB6208 to increase the chance of it passing.
  • Forces workers to handle private health information without taking privacy measures required by law.
