Do you know what is incredible ironic here? When IL was mandating these vaccines for healthcare workers, the survey (inspection) nurses from IDPH were exempt. So they could walk into a skilled nursing facility, hospital, etc *unvaccinated* themselves, and levy fines for any worker who didn’t have a “sufficient excuse”.

Since the state law only allows vaccines against “preventable” diseases, and it is clear now and admitted by public health authorities that the Covid vaccine does NOT “prevent” infection, seems like any decent lawyer for parents should be able to argue it doesn’t qualify for the childhood schedule in Illinois. The argument from public health authorities now is only the dubious “well it reduces risk of hospitalization and death” but that is not prevention.

When all you’ve ever know is a life of isolation, wealth and privilege; when no has ever told you no; when no one has told you the truth or expected you to tell the truth; when you’ve never had to work for anything; when you’ve never had to convince anyone of anything through the power of your thinking rather than simply making demands of those you control and want to please you; how can you be expected to have any concept of truth or wisdom or governance in a democratic republic? When you have been totally isolated from the suffering imposed by devastating crime, disastrous schools, economic hardship and more; when all you’ve ever known is power by fiat rather than the power of reason; when you’ve never had to build anything yourself; when you believe in no higher moral authority than yourself; how can you possibly understand the problems faced by people? How can you possibly understand how to fix those devastating problems? You can only cause pain and suffering and destruction. It cannot be otherwise. Richard Feynman famously said, “When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It's pain only for others. It's the same thing when you are stupid” The pain is exponentially worse for millions of others when you are a stupid, privileged, elitist egomaniacal, narcissistic, tyrannical governor.

Feynman also said, “The stupider you are, the smarter you think you are.” JB Pritzker: QED.

Example number 3652 of why it should be illegal for the legislature to, truly, delegate legislative powers to executive agencies.

J.B.'s comrade in arms, our very own Gavin Newsome, will most likely pursue this course of action too. If they succeed, middle & upper middle class families will leave the school systems in droves, even more than they already have during the lockdown period, leaving public schools as the indoctrination centers for lower-income & immigrant kids, being trained to serve their betters. Prof Joel Kotkin called this an aspect of Neo-Feudalism, as the divide between the have and have-nots accelerates.

How much money is Jay Bob getting from the medical establishment to attempt to do this?? It’s always about money in the end.

Washington was going to have its Vaccine Advisory Committee meet remotely on Thursday, but a Zoom outage cancelled the meeting. Covid was on the agenda, of course. It's pretty clear that people in Democratic-governor states who don't want a requirement to happen are going to have to be vigilant for many months to come.

Thank you for your work here. Of course he will try to mandate them - consistent with all other actions.

Nice to have you shine the spotlight on it.

First, difficult to think they would legally mandate EUA vax (< 12).

Second, can they claim this is a "preventable communicable disease?" as per Pfizer, was not tested for that. If not, won't pass legal muster.

Hearings will surely be difficult.

Inboxes will be full.

All these useful email addresses to direct feedback directly to those attempting to shove these down throats.

If they do attempt to push this through, they should expect a response that far surpasses that of last November for the conscience objector rewrite.

Our family had hoped to limp through the high school years of our special needs son. If this comes to be - we will be moving out of Illinois several years before our original plans. I expect JB will be quite content to rule over an empty kingdom of declining property values!

Also, this would be the first vax required that you have to get every single year!
