Some US States To Expand Exemptions to School Vaccine Mandates?
Eight US states have introduced bills during the 2025 legislative session to establish or expand exemptions to school vaccine mandates, according to Dawn Richardson, advocacy director for the National Vaccine Information Center
Should parents, students and employees be allowed to claim religious exemptions from vaccine mandates? That’s the question an increasing number of state lawmakers are being asked to decide as they consider a new wave of proposed bills.
“Vaccine mandates for school and childcare attendance and their corresponding vaccine exemptions have been in state law for decades,” Richardson said. But this year, “more states have bills to expand these exemptions than to restrict or remove them.”
In 2010, Richardson created and launched the NVIC Advocacy Portal, which provides free information about proposed state vaccine laws. Since then, she and her team have analyzed, tracked and issued positions on over 1,000 vaccine-related bills across the U.S.
“Until medical mandates are a relic of history — and that day is coming — religious exemptions are the primary way to avoid medical coercion,” said Children’s Health Defense CEO Mary Holland.
According to Richardson, only three states — Hawaii, Massachusetts and New Jersey — proposed legislation this year attempting to remove school vaccine mandate exemptions. However, Hawaii lawmakers, under pressure from constituents, voted last month to table the bill, which would have repealed the state’s religious exemption from vaccine mandates.
Meanwhile, other states are advancing legislation that strengthens or expands vaccine exemptions. For instance, Alabama lawmakers on April 3 passed a bill that specifies that a parent or guardian’s written declaration is “sufficient documentation” to exempt his or her child from a vaccine requirement for religious reasons.
Alabama lawmakers are also considering a bill that would require private and church schools to accept religious exemptions to vaccine requirements.
On March 26, Utah’s governor signed into law a measure to ensure that public school students’ vaccine exemption forms don’t expire and that they travel with them when the students transfer to another school.
Some of the state bills proposed this year focus on exemptions from vaccine mandates in the workplace rather than at school.
For example, Texas lawmakers are considering a law that would require healthcare facilities that have vaccine mandates to honor exemptions for “reasons of conscience, including a religious belief.”
Texas also introduced three other bills related to expanding or improving vaccine exemptions, according to legislative data Richardson shared with The Defender.
‘Momentum is gaining to remove vaccine mandates’
Holland noted that a handful of states allow only medical exemptions, not religious exemptions. Those states are California, New York, Connecticut and Maine. “They make even legitimate medical exemptions virtually impossible to obtain.”
“The good news,” Holland said, “is that Idaho just became the first medical freedom state, by outlawing any medical intervention mandates that prohibit people from participating in social life based on medical status. Likely, this will be a template for other states going forward.”
Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed the law almost a week after he vetoed a previous version of the bill, citing concerns it would have prohibited schools from sending home “sick students with highly contagious conditions.”
The new version of the bill clarifies that schools and businesses can turn away students, employees or customers who are sick, but they cannot require a medical intervention, including a vaccine.
The new version also specified that schools cannot exclude unvaccinated children during an outbreak of a contagious disease they are not vaccinated against.
Bills that outright prohibit vaccine mandates ‘much preferable’
Richardson said bills like the one passed in Idaho are part of a positive trend she and her team are seeing across recent legislative sessions, including this one.
“Momentum is gaining to remove vaccine mandates,” she said, “but medical trade and pharmaceutical lobbyists are working against medical freedom and informed consent.”
“This is why it is so important for people to speak with their legislators about how prohibiting vaccine mandates and requiring informed consent to vaccination without penalty for saying ‘no’ is very important to them,” Richardson said.
Bills that outright prohibit vaccine mandates — rather than just ensuring that a person can apply for an exemption — are “much preferable” in Richardson’s view because they “make vaccine exemptions not even necessary.”
“As we saw with school vaccine exemptions,” Richardson said, “sometimes [exemptions] can get taken away as evidenced in recent years in California, Connecticut, Maine, New York and Vermont.”
‘People are waking up’
NVIC’s mission is to prevent vaccine injuries through public education and to advocate for informed consent protections in medical policies and public health laws.
Commenting on state legislative action since 2010, NVIC’s Executive Director Theresa Wrangham said she has seen a shift toward more proposed legislation to protect informed consent and people’s choice to vaccinate or not vaccinate without penalty.
When NVIC first began, Wrangham said she saw a “lot of movement to try to restrict exemptions.” But overall, that’s changed. “I think people are waking up …That’s grassroots. That’s people getting involved.”
Wrangham said it’s important for families to educate themselves about vaccine risks versus benefits as they make their decisions.
There is no “risk-free” option, she said. “There’s just the ability to make a decision — an informed decision around what risk you’re willing to take. That’s really what informed consent is about. Let’s make sure everybody has good information. Let’s not let our fear run us.”

International Public Notice: We Consider All Vaccine Mandates Criminal Acts in Breach of Trust and Violation of Contract
By Anna Von Reitz
There is no doubt — none whatsoever — scientifically or otherwise, that the Covid 19 “live exercise” in the words of Mike Pompeo, was an Act of War against humanity, carried out by a few hundred masterminds engaged in a long term conspiracy against mankind.
These evil men and women were driven by delusions, fears, and selfishness to undertake the pollution of our genome and the destruction by lethal injection of a large percentage of Earth’s population. This was a deliberate and long-planned assault on the physical integrity and health of Homo sapiens sapiens by ideologues and madmen who insinuated their way into positions of power via the misuse and abuse of financial instruments and a plethora of substitution frauds and public trust frauds.
Our government went on the record very early in this debacle and outlawed the “vaccine” program and resulting insidious commercial claims to the effect that people who received the injections were rendered Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) subject to ownership by patent holders. We also established a public interest lien and claim against the promoters of this evil plan of one trillion USD per American harmed or killed as a result of these injections.
In the days and months following much more information has come to light, including the fact that the Process One Covid 19 “vaccine” formula was beta tested on 200,000 people in 2013, and today, twelve years later, exactly five (5) survivors of that test remain. Process Two Covid 19 “vaccine” made up the bulk of that distributed to the unwary public, and it’s trials, though less extensive in terms of numbers, showed that it was even more deadly, with an expectation that nearly all those who received the injection would be dead in only seven (7) years.
We are now seeing, literally, the end results in the form of thousands of reports of deadly foreign clots in arteries from morticians and embalmers, thousands of reports from cardiologists worldwide, and most of all, the rapid spread of “turbo cancer”. Statistically significant numbers of people in this country are reporting “more than three deaths” among friends and family members in the past month, mostly from cardiac arrest, stroke, and cancer. We are also seeing a vast increase in autism symptoms in vaccinated children — a condition that is virtually non-existent among unvaccinated babies worldwide.
We have more than enough data to conclude that: (1) the “vaccines” produced by the pharmaceutical corporations responsible have been engineered to produce profit-making disease, not health; (2) that these “vaccines” have been weaponized to cause broad spectrum death and to expedite commercial crimes beneficial to the promoters; (3) that any continuance of any vaccine program under the current circumstance, much less any adherence to any “childhood schedule” of recommended vaccines is criminal lunacy and a public danger.
We call for an immediate cessation of all vaccine production, sale, and deployment, period, at all, throughout The United States and within our Territories and Possessions, and also require that no Federal Employees will be forced or coerced or bribed or otherwise induced to take or administer any vaccine product as a condition of employment or obligation of citizenship.
The appropriate Principals and Shareholders, their Boards of Directors and corporate Executive Officers are hereby placed under public demand and provided explicit Public Notice of our Will in this matter.
We further note that while Eight U.S. States are poised to expand vaccine exemptions in 2025, this action is too little and too late and must be expedited and expanded to all U.S. States and Territories and all States of the Union and all illegally conceived Municipal “Commonwealth” entities operating in this country and doing business as the Commonwealth of Virginia, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Commonwealth of Kentucky, and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
There is no lawful or legal basis allowing the existence of any “Commonwealth” organization within the borders of The United States and our lawful government objects to any pretense otherwise on the part of Municipal Subcontractors. These so-called “Commonwealths” must be dissolved.
These illegal operations are actively promoting and enforcing vaccine schedules and attempting to unlawfully convert the natural rights and responsibilities of parents living in these States of the Union into privileges subject to their organization’s political whims and legislative acts.
We call upon the Office of the Solicitor General to bring a swift and decisive end to the impositions of these disallowed Commonwealth governments on the living people of these States of the Union and an immediate correction of all court actions presuming authority to seize children from their natural homes and parents using an unrevealed and non-consensual claim of public trust and public health interests to do so.
The likelihood is that all vaccines have been weaponized to one extent or another, and that imposing vaccines on babies and children is condemning them to a lifetime of illness and immune dysfunction, autism, ADHD, or worse, in the name of preventing otherwise survivable childhood illnesses like measles and chickenpox.
Clearly, there is a different agenda at work here, at odds with anything resembling “public health”.
We must face the fact that pharmaceutical corporations have been force-selling us snake oil remedies for decades and the endless pills and prescriptions have not resulted in better health overall, nor have they resulted in better science. Instead, science and math have been subverted in favor of commercial profit and the endless roster of “side effect” warnings attached to nearly every drug in the marketplace is more than adequate testimony to this fact.
This “patent medicine” is no better than the concoctions of decaying snake carcasses and whiskey sold as miracle tonics in the Old West. The FDA which was tasked to prevent a repeat of these abuses sold out and has promoted them instead. The politicians in receipt of kickbacks turned a blind eye. The mercenaries holding a controlling interest in the pharmaceutical companies saw their chance and crossed the line and genocided millions of innocent people, including Americans, for the sake of profit.
The actions of these pharmaceutical companies seeking to avoid their own natural liability for their products also speaks volumes regarding their reckless profit-seeking and lack of accountability.
As regards the members of the U.S. Congresses that released these corporations from accountability for their products in 1986 and those that have gone along with and supported the issuance of these so-called “vaccine” products to the public, and who have allowed the false advertisement claiming that these “vaccines” were “safe and effective” — while exempting themselves and their families from having to take these injections — we consider them all common criminals who conspired against the public interest for their own venal commercial benefit and who knowingly exposed the people they are under contract to protect to reckless endangerment and irreparable harm.
We hold them individually and collectively 100% personally and commercially liable for their acts and omissions; they may have released these pharmaceutical corporations from their natural product liability, but they have accrued that liability for themselves and their Principals.
We request and require Mr. Trump to arrest and prosecute these criminals and traitors as corporation officers and personnel under the Universal Code of Military Justice and our own prohibitions against Treason, Unlawful Conversion,
Impersonation, Inland Piracy, Conspiracy, Misprision of Treason, and other crimes as may be appropriate.
We also request and require Mr. Trump to take appropriate action against the so-called Commonwealths that have been illegally established in our midst and require the recognition of The Virginia Assembly, The Massachusetts Assembly, The Kentucky Assembly, and The Pennsylvania Assembly as the only lawful State Government operating in these States of the Union.
We also call upon him to exercise his office as Commander in Chief to shut down all Municipal/Commonwealth Courts still operating in these States of the Union and all CPS operations engaged in child snatching and forced immunization and vaccination activities.
We have officially proven that all public trust and public interest claims by these privately owned foreign corporations acting as Federal Subcontractors and State-of-State franchise operators, are merely self-interested constructive fraud schemes aiming at unlawful conversion of the natural political status of Americans and the illegal imposition of foreign citizenship obligations upon American State Nationals.
There can be no credibility and no actionable authority derived from undisclosed and unconscionable contracts resulting in unrevealed public trusts, nor from any of the adhesion contracts subsequently imposed upon the victims of these “governmental services corporations” in the form of mortgages they don’t owe, property taxes they don’t owe, income taxes they don’t owe, and social security programs they were misinformed about and then coerced and forced to participate in.
Likewise, the natural right of parents to determine their own health choices and the health choices they make for their minor children cannot be converted into a privilege subject to the whims of any incorporated body whatsoever; nor can any State of the Union be unlawfully converted into or substituted for by any “Commonwealth” entity or commercial corporation.
The only contracts we have with any of the foreign Principals responsible for these crimes are plainly stated as The Constitution of the United States of America and The Constitution of the United States — and the word “health” does not appear in either document.
Mr. Trump is advised that these courts are merely private corporate in-house tribunals and the judges and justices “elected” are only being elected within the shareholder groups responsible.
As such, they enjoy no state immunity, no public offices or authorities, and are merely employees — elected or appointed — of foreign for-profit governmental services corporations.
We did not offer them any authority or function related to us, our States of the Union, or our people that is not explicitly enumerated within the applicable Federal Constitutions; any presumption on their part otherwise, is merely that — a rude presumption on the part of bureaucrats who owe us good faith service in the exercise of explicit enumerated and delegated duties.
The only venue related to us and available to the Federal Courts including any “District” Courts and any State of State or State Trust franchise courts operated by the Federal Corporations strictly relates to the approximately 8% of all Acts of Congress published in the Congressional Record, which may under certain circumstances apply to American State Nationals engaged in federally regulated activities or those voluntarily entering known federal enclaves and offices, such as Federal Courthouses and Post Offices and Naval Yards, etc.
The fact that millions upon millions of Americans have been hoodwinked and trafficked and misidentified as Federal Dual Citizens as a result of undisclosed registration processes being maliciously misapplied to them, is problematic only to the extent that the victims need to be fully informed and then need to make informed decisions about their chosen political status.
This International Public Notice is hereby issued to all Federal Officials, elected and appointed and hired, all State (Trust), State of State, and Commonwealth officials and officers and organizations operating within the borders of The United States and within United States Territories and Possessions: an international conspiracy against our government, our people, and our institutions is well-advanced and has successfully murdered by guile and deceit and immoral misrepresentation a large portion of our population and the population of many other countries via injection of undisclosed chemical agents. This has been done under color of law, under false pretenses of “war”, under illegal occupation, under duress and under material misrepresentation by foreign commercial and municipal interests claiming that these chemical agents were safe and effective vaccines, when in fact these injections were never vaccines and were known to be harmful and in the end, fatal, to all recipients.
The fact that this was designed to be a “slow kill” so as to milk out medical profiteering profits in no way changes the fact that the intent was to mislead and ultimately murder large numbers of innocent people for profit.
Similarly, the purposeful dumping of dangerous poisons and metallic incendiary compounds and industrial waste products on our soil and surface water has resulted in genocide wherever these “chem trail” and “water treatment” programs have been implemented under the guise of harmless geoengineering experiments and promotion of dental hygiene, and other public health objectives. This again, was a slow kill approach, calculated to result in a maximization of profits from chronic disease and ultimate death of the victims.
These foreign corporations have operated as crime syndicates, have conspired against their constitutional obligations, and are not any species of legitimate government even though they have exercised certain delegated governmental powers under contract; they have no state immunity, no public offices, and are presently in violation of their contracts and service obligations.
The Department of Defense (Territorial) and DOD (Municipal) have notably failed to protect their actual employers, failed to defend the borders and trade interests and financial security of this country, while allowing their Civil Service counterparts to run wild and commit unspeakable crimes against our living population—- and all this, while both the Civil Service and the “Military” Service have owed us “good faith service” throughout this debacle.
This situation is not unique to The United States. It has similarly impacted most of Europe, the former British Commonwealth, the British homelands, Japan, the Philippines, and many, many other nations.
Now we are told such a thing as “the White Hat Military” exists and that these brave men are intent on delivering the justice we are owed and doing their duty by humanity; perhaps so. It will take far more than words to convince us.
To date, neither Donald Trump nor RFK, Jr., have seen fit to stop FDA fast-tracking of an mRNA Bird Flu “vaccine”. To date, nothing has been done by “our” military to truthfully and honestly educate the American Public. Nothing has been done to dismantle and replace the illegal Commonwealths substituting themselves for our State Governments. And despite claims that a great many arrests and even executions of the traitors responsible have taken place, we were told about Adolph Hitler’s suicide in a Berlin Bunker, too.
We’ve been the victims of many such “narratives” — also known as lies or fictions. From False Flags to Black Ops, from foreign mortgages to purportedly voluntary taxation, from illegal and immoral “change of government” operations, to phony corporate elections substituted for our own public elections, we, the living people, have been the gullible victims of our own employees.
We’ve been the goats so monotonously and so often that we can see the New Green Deal for what it is — another excuse for Draconian taxation based on another False Narrative.
We are here presenting ourselves to the world today in our own actual corporeal vestment, the so-called Naked Owners of everything in sight, the living people who are owed not only all physical assets — all land, gold, silver, etc., —but also owed all credit assets and a great deal of prepaid credit, our intellectual and energetic assets, our patents, copyrights, trademarks, Good Names, labor, performances, and all else that has been purloined under conditions of deceit and self-interest by evil old men and bureaucrats and bankers in nice suits.
We are enabled to “securitize” them and their corporations and their profits and their annuities, their political parties and their offices, their back taxes. We are exercising our position as the presumed “donors” and the actual underwriters of this whole stinking morass of corruption, criminality, greed, and self-interest.
As the “Presumed Donors” we are liquidating all these phony public trusts created in our names and the names of our States, and claiming their assets and any beneficial interest they may hold. As the actual Underwriters who have been forced to stand good for these parasites under conditions of
