"Friday, April 10th, Jennifer Stella, head of the Vermont Coalition for Vaccine Choice learned that Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, and Sen. John Campbell, D-Windsor, had tried to tack the exemption removal language onto another bill. The move was ruled to be non-germane and was disallowed.
The following Tuesday evening Stella learned that another attempt was coming, this time to tack the bill onto a vaccination registry expansion bill that had already passed the house, and would be debated the following morning. By the time the bill (H98) hit the senate floor on Wednesday, a barrage of phone calls had been made to concerned parents, who showed up in the Senate Chamber ready to fight the measure. The bill surfaced as an amendment introduced, again by Senators Mullin and Campbell, and this time joined by Senator Sears, D-Windsor."
"The use of Agent Orange as a military herbicide in Vietnam continues to be an emotional subject for many people. Asian Affairs Specialist Michael Martin notes, '[a]t the time the herbicides were used, there was little consideration within the U.S. military about potential long-term environmental and health effects of the widespread use of Agent Orange in Vietnam.'"

Comment: Many people tend to dismiss 'preppers' as being too catastrophically minded. However, if one takes even a brief glimpse at the bizarre weather patterns that have been increasing globally and considers how quickly grocery stores might be emptied during even a short supply disruption, then those who are prepared seem much more grounded in reality. And, this does not even consider the potential for chaos that could ensue if the global financial system actually collapses, which is something that is highly likely to happen in the near future. Taking some precautions to insure your family will not suffer unnecessarily, is always wise.
