The Next Mandatory Vaccine Battleground: Homeschool Children

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

As we have frequently reported here at Health Impact News, legislative efforts are underway in many states to remove parental choice for childhood vaccines, with new proposed bills removing religious and philosophical exemptions to childhood vaccines which are mandated as a requirement for school attendance. See:

The Fight Over Mandatory Vaccinations at the State Level – Update

In general, the public is opposed to removing parental consent to vaccines, and most bills seeking to remove parental authority have been met with stiff opposition and been defeated at the state level.

One bill that was successful, was SB277 which was passed in California in 2015 removing the religious and philosophical exemptions to vaccines.

Today, the only option parents in California have to get an exemption to vaccines as a requirement for school attendance, is to get their doctor to sign a medical exemption.

However, the pro-pharmaceutical lobby in California has not been satisfied with the results of SB277, and are now going after doctors who write medical exemptions for vaccines. See:

Senator-Doctor Wants California to Eliminate Doctor’s Medical Exemptions to Vaccines

While a lawsuit against the California State Medical Board for illegally targeting medical doctors who write legitimate medical exemptions to vaccines for their patients makes its way through the legal process, most doctors in California now fear writing medical exemptions to vaccines as they would risk losing their license to practice medicine in California.

Parents who now want to protect their children from the dangers of the CDC vaccine schedule, either by refusing certain vaccines or following a different vaccine schedule, are left with almost no options.

As a result, many parents are choosing to homeschool their children to escape the mandatory vaccine mandates.

Pro-Pharma Lobby Now Wants to go Into Homes and Check Medical Records of Homeschool Children

It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the vaccine extremists, who believe that ALL vaccines are safe for ALL children ALL the time, by force if necessary, are now targeting homeschool children.

Several states are proposing new laws that would require homeschool families to allow government-represented medical professionals to come into their homes to approve them as home schools, including checking the children’s medical records to ensure they are following the CDC vaccine schedule.

We reported earlier this year that Oregon Governor Kate Brown has submitted a 2-year budget proposal to the Oregon state legislature that would require “universal home visits for new parents.” See:

Oregon to Become First State to Mandate Universal Home Visits of All Families with Newborn Children

Patrick Allen, the director of the Oregon Health Authority, made this comment about the Governor’s proposal:

When the program is complete, every new parent — this includes adoptions — would receive a series of two or three visits by someone like a nurse or other health care practitioner.

The visits could include basic health screenings for babies; hooking parents up with primary care physicians; linking them to other services; and coordinating the myriad childhood immunizations that babies need. (Emphasis added.)

We haven’t seen a bill presented to the Oregon State Legislature yet, so hopefully our report, as well as others, placed enough pressure on the Oregon State government to abandon such a mandate.

Iowa and Illinois Families Take Notice!

Two other states are now considering new bills aimed at getting access to children at home with their families.

In Iowa, HF 272, sponsored by State Representative Mary Mascher, would require families to submit proof of their child’s required immunizations, and require health and wellness checks of families who engage in independent private instruction or private instruction.

Shane Vander Hart of Caffeinated Thoughts reports:

The bill reads, “The board of directors of a school district shall conduct quarterly home visits to check on the health and safety of children located within the district who are receiving independent private instruction or private instruction.”

The bill also states that these home visits “shall take place in the child’s residence with the consent of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian and an interview or observation of the child may be conducted.”

If parents do not provide consent then the school district “the juvenile court or district court upon a showing of probable cause may authorize the person making the home visit to enter the home and interview or observe the child.”

This bill essentially puts homeschooling families on the level of parents who have been accused or have had a finding of child abuse or neglect. (Full Article.)

In Illinois, House Bill 3560 has been introduced which:

Provides that, after a home-schooling registration form is submitted, the State Board of Education must request a Child Protective Service Unit of the Department of Children and Family Services to investigate the home in which the home schooling will occur to ensure there is no suspected child abuse or neglect in the home.

Provides that after the investigation by the Child Protective Service Unit is complete, the State Board must notify the school district in which the home is located that the child is being home-schooled.

As we have reported over the years at our MedicalKidnap.com website, Child Protective Services (CPS) routinely abuses parental rights by kidnapping their children, and the vast majority of the time they remove children from their homes based on the broad category of “neglect,” not abuse, and they get to define “neglect” which includes refusing medical advice or seeking a second opinion from a different doctor.

We have reported many family stories on MedicalKidnap.com where the State removed children from their homes based on false allegations, but by the time the family succeeded in Family Court to get their children back home, the children had been fully vaccinated, against their wishes, while being placed in Foster Care.

The 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Any state law mandating home visits should be vigorously opposed, by both legislators as well as the public, on the grounds of violating the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Cornell Law School states:

The Fourth Amendment originally enforced the notion that “each man’s home is his castle”, secure from unreasonable searches and seizures of property by the government. It protects against arbitrary arrests, and is the basis of the law regarding search warrants, stop-and-frisk, safety inspections, wiretaps, and other forms of surveillance, as well as being central to many other criminal law topics and to privacy law.

The 4th Amendment:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Thank you, Catryna! I, too, was pushed by Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare Advantage Plan to have a "home visit" by a nurse practitioner.

In 2017, I said OK. That nurse practitioner sat at my kitchen table and had an online list of questions she was supposed to fill out. After she left, I told my husband that I felt that my privacy had been violated. It was no friendly home visit.

In fall of 2018, BCBS called again to schedule another nurse home visit. I politely said, No, I didn’t like the visit the previous year. They were aggressive in the number of calls they made, and I had to become kinda angry to get them to back off.

On Del Bigtree’s "The Highwire" program, I have learned from interviews that BCBS is the insurance company most cited as the one giving bonuses to pediatricians for vaccines administered to children who stay on "schedule."

This home-schooling issue is huge… that local, state and federal governments can force their ways into people’s home for the ultimate purpose of giving mandatory, unlimited vaccinations.

I appreciate this forum. I have learned that in every vaccine insert that Part 13 states (in a similar way) that this vaccine "has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or for impairment of fertility." That’s enough of a reason for me to say NO! to any and all vaccines.

You are so welcome. Sorry to hear of your terrible experience at the hands of those boneheads. When I switched from BCBS, I went with SCAN, I received numerous calls from SCBS; continuing to hound me on certain things. I kept telling them they were no longer my insurance carrier and blocking the numbers and finally they quit. Total insanity! A SCAN agent called me at the beginning of the year and I get that "uh oh feeling." But, no! The woman I talked with ran through their whole itinerary of how they work. There were three reasons why I would be getting further calls from them and they were, 1. reminders to take meds, 2. help with getting meds and 3. their resource center calling to let me know of videos, conferences, etc that I might be interested in being a part of. I could choose which notifications (calls) I wanted to avail myself of and reject any I didn’t. I let her know that since I didn’t use pharmaceuticals, I didn’t need the first two, but was interested in the third. So far, it has been a good experience, time will tell in the long wrong. Maybe you should dump BCBS and move on to someone else. Just know that I have also found United Health to be even more intrusive then BCBS.

As a senior, I received a call from my insurance company, last year in regards to in-home visits. The agent was very insistent that I take advantage of this service even after several attempts on my part to decline. It was not until I got angry and told the agent I found the whole idea intrusive, that he backed off. After I hung up, I blocked the number. This call was the last straw, after a year of calls, texts and emails harassing and stalking me about getting certain vaccinations and other medical procedures of which I have no intention of getting and that my doctor and I have agreed are not in my best interest.

When I researched the "in-home" visits, I found that it is indeed intrusive with those who come to the house, checking the whole house as well as cupboards, pantries, refrigerator, etc. But, the main purpose was vaccine inoculation and setting up appointments for medical procedures. In fact, "vaccine" appeared in every paragraph of the article I read. I have since changed insurance companies.
