Anti-vaccination group calling for rally at State Capitol during special session

@SoDakCampaigns

A group that testified in favor of a bill in 2020 to make it a criminal offense to mandate teachers be vaccinated against measles and smallpox is coming back to Pierre during the special session for a rally to oppose the federal government mandating anti-COVID vaccinations for large employers and those doing business with the federal government.

Anti-vaxxer group “Health Freedom South Dakota,” who most recently held protests across the street from Sanford Hospital in September has announced a rally to be held at the State Capitol on November 8th.

In checking with the State of South Dakota, no rally or event of this nature has been registered to take place on state property as of earlier this week, so they may be holding their rally on the sidewalk in front of the building.

The group had previously advocated for a special session to be called to consider legislation proposed by several House members, however, Governor Kristi Noem had rejected convening the legislature for that purpose, as well as opposing such legislation.

Governor Noem has expressed her opposition to mandates from the federal government, and has taken the position that it is similarly not the duty of State Government to interfere in the employer/employee relationship to tell businesses what they can and cannot require of employees when it comes to vaccinations.

  1. There must be an isolated island in the South Pacific or Atlantic we can send all these Anti-Vaxxers to. Once they are there cut off all contact afterwards so they can have their freedumb.

    2. Why are you dumb?

      Anti-covid vaccine does not mean anti-vaccine. I am going to assume you are a democrat.

      You are as dumb or dumber as Cory. Is he still a SD resident? Has it been 30 days?

  2. I assume they are coming to protest federal mandates? Or to oppose any state mandates on vaccine policies? The state has no mandate, and the only mandates being proposed are from Hanson/Odenbach/Frye-Mueller.

  3. Ah! The good old days when the Iron Lung was more common. We send the blueprints with the Anti-vaxxers to their new isolated island home of Anti-Vaxxia

    ANTIFA? No! Their cousins ANTIVA!

  4. Should we expect our state government to take action against the deadly MRNA experimental shots that have hurt more than all other true vaccines combined?

    1. John is it true that Hillary C and fellow demos prefer red wine while eating babies in their porno shops?

  5. So they want a mandate against a mandate! The “health freedom” argument is as leaky as a sieve. Without common agreements we would have no society nor would we have a nation. What is next? Freedom to drive without a seat belt?

      1. There is a law about using seat belts.

        You are free to break the law.

        You can’t lose your job for not using a seat belt.

  7. Same people fighting want government to force a woman to carry an embryo until life. It is crazy times we live in, hypocrisy goes brrrr.

        1. You certainly can kill an embryo. Btw, now you are talking about a woman wanting to kill an unborn baby. By scientific fact, that baby has different DNA than than the mom. It is not her body that she may be trying to hurt/kill.

          1. Sadly, most young democrats don’t have scientific knowledge. As for the old democrats that don’t have scientific knowledge, they are just dumb. I can’t blame the schools back then.

          1. “The baby’s heart begins to form immediately after conception and is complete by eight week’s gestation.”

            FYI

    2. Good point, Anonymous@12:31

      I am pro-life… which does mean that the government would “mandate” the carrying of a child to term in most circumstances. Why? Because it saves lives, in my opinion.

      So does the vaccine.

  8. What people like young Ms. Hubbel fear the most is that the free market will eventually require the “mark of the beast” to enter a joint like Lintz Bros Pizza to eat pizza, or perhaps even to toss the crusts into the air.

    1. That’s not going to happen in SD.

      The current mark of the beast is people wearing masks that don’t stop covid.

  9. Why is it you Pro-Tyranny people label people who are against mandates as anti-vaxxers? I, like many other people have had the vaccination, but are against a mandate. First we were the anti-maskers (which I was and am one) because they demanded evidence the masks did more than make people feel like they were doing something. Now you are claiming just because someone is against a mandate they are against a vaccine that in some cases has proven to be less than effective and even deadly.

  10. Thank you Sanford, Monument Health, 97% of American physicians and thousands of other health care companies for being the intelligence in why vaccines save humanity. We are grateful for your leadership!!
