Stop Minnesota Legislation That Threatens Vaccine Exemptions and Parental Rights!

🖨️ Print post

Minnesota lawmakers are considering multiple bills that would significantly weaken—or completely eliminate—longstanding vaccine exemptions for children and families.

SF 4458, HF 3239/ SF 3439,and HF 3775 / SF 4017 represent a coordinated effort to restrict or remove conscientious exemptions, making it far more difficult—or impossible—for parents to make individualized medical decisions for their children.

These bills would eliminate conscientious exemptions, impose new barriers such as mandatory consultations and “re-education” requirements, and expand exclusion policies that could keep healthy children out of school.

Together, these proposals mark a major shift away from informed consent and parental authority, and toward increased government control over personal medical decisions.

Minnesota’s legislative session runs through May 18, and these bills may still move forward independently or be added to other legislation.

Please act NOW to protect parental rights, medical freedom, and informed consent.

SAMPLE SCRIPT

“Hello, my name is ___ and I’m a constituent. I’m calling to urge you to SF 4458, HF 3239 / SF 3439, and HF 3775 / SF 4017.

As a parent, I believe medical decisions should be made by families—not mandated by the state. These bills would take away longstanding exemption rights and place unnecessary barriers between parents and their ability to make informed choices for their children.

Requiring consultations or “re-education” in order to exercise an exemption is coercive and undermines true informed consent.

Please protect parental rights and medical freedom by opposing these bills.

Thank you.”

TALKING POINTS

1. Informed consent must be voluntary—not conditional. Requiring parents to complete state-mandated consultations or “education” modules in order to access an exemption introduces coercion into medical decision-making.

2. Parents—not the government—should guide medical decisions for their children. Families are best positioned to evaluate risks, benefits, and individual health circumstances.

3. These bills create barriers that disproportionately affect certain families. Parents with deeply held beliefs or concerns about medical risk may be forced into compliance or excluded from education and childcare.

4. Healthy children could be excluded from school unnecessarily. Expanded outbreak exclusion policies may remove uninfected children from school solely based on vaccination status.

5. Eliminating exemptions increases coercion. When access to school, childcare, or activities is conditioned on vaccination, families are placed under pressure rather than allowed to make voluntary decisions.

6. Once exemptions are removed, they are difficult to restore. Preserving these protections now is critical to maintaining long-term medical freedom.

7. Medical trade organizations such as AAP, AAFP, ACOG, and ACP have financial ties to pharmaceutical manufacturers through funding, sponsorships, and collaborative initiatives. These conflicts of interest raise serious concerns about the objectivity of their vaccine recommendations. SF 4458 removes reliance on ACIP/CDC guidance and opens the door for these industry-influenced organizations to play a greater role in shaping state vaccine policy.

8. As of 3/27/2026, there were 2,715,632 adverse events and 50,474 deaths reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). A CDC-funded study found that as few as 1% of vaccine injuries may be reported, suggesting the true number could be significantly higher.

9. People differ in genetics, immune function, and health history—factors that can influence how any medical product, including vaccines, affects them, underscoring the importance of personal choice and medical autonomy.

10. Vaccine manufacturers are largely shielded from liability for injuries caused by their products under federal law, leaving families with limited recourse if a child or adult is harmed. These liability protections create a system where accountability is minimized, while individuals and families bear the full risk, proving that the so-called ‘safety guarantees’ for vaccines are misleading and incomplete.

11. Vaccine formulations include a variety of substances, such as metal salts (e.g., aluminum), preservatives, stabilizers, and residual manufacturing materials. These ingredients—like formaldehyde, polysorbate compounds, and foreign DNA and proteins—are associated with allergic reactions, neurotoxic effects, and immune system dysfunction.
