I'm a resident of Minnesota. The Democrats flipped the state senate so now Governor and both legislative bodies are both Democrat.
I have a two year-old. As of now, Minnesota has a philosophical exemption for all vaccines. Democrats introduced a bill last session to remove that (a a al California and New York). I fear Minnesota will follow the Big Pharma dictates and remove this exemption. My partner and I want to be careful and selective about how and if we vaccinate.
I fear for my child's health and for my autonomy/medical freedom as a parent. I would strongly prefer not to move or homeschool (for reasons I won't go into here), but may have to consider those things.
I am independent politically, but was hoping Dems would get a smackdown due to their Covid and other overreaches but it doesn't seem like that happened.
I am wondering if there's anything I can do to maintain this medical freedom/philosophical exemption in my state.
