Bodily Integrity In the state house!

Exciting news, Hoosiers! 

Representative Bruce Borders has filed House Bill 1334, the first and only bill supporting wide-sweeping Bodily Integrity in Indiana!

Hoosiers deserve the right to simply say NO.

This bill recognizes the individual’s RIGHT TO REFUSE vaccination without facing coercion or adverse actions.

NO EXEMPTIONS REQUIRED.

Rep. Border’s bill defines “employee” as an individual who works for an employer on a full-time or part-time basis, either paid or unpaid. It also protects:

• an independent contractor;
• a subcontractor; and
• a student who works as a trainee or an intern.

That means that his bill, HB 1334 protects those individuals who work for a company in a full-time or part-time position. It includes those who are contractors, subcontractors, or students, either paid or unpaid, from coercion or adverse events for saying NO to a vaccination.
 
Hoosiers are protected from adverse actions against their:

• tenure, compensation, and benefits;
• terms, conditions, and privileges of employment;
• uniform or attire;
• use of areas open to immunized employees; or
• testing in the absence of symptoms when immunized employees are not equally required to submit to testing.

Employers who decide they do not want to follow the law face a $5,000 fine, and the individual has the right to pursue civil damages!
The best part is that when offering a vaccine, employers must notify the individual of their right to refuse.

This bill is the ONLY bill in the state house that will protect bodily integrity, or the right to say no, without the need for exemptions.

We commend Rep. Borders (R) for his efforts to ensure a wide-sweeping medical liberty bill was filed. He was the only representative willing to take on the arduous task of working with the bill drafters and Hoosiers for Medical Liberty to ensure bodily integrity was properly presented.

Hoosiers it is now our turn to get to work!

Last month we released the petition to PROTECT KIDS FROM DRIVE-THRU VACCINATION.

We have found at least one bill that has the potential to make these changes. Senate Bill 192 was authored by Senator Tyler Johnson. At the present time, it does NOT allow for the vaccination of children under age 11 within a pharmacy.

However, our source within retail pharmacy has informed us that pharmacists are already being educated on vaccinating children with instruction "THERE ARE NO UPPER LIMITS TO THE NUMBER OF VACCINATIONS ADMINISTERED IN A GIVEN SITTING. If the child is behind on eleven (11) vaccinations, you give all 11."

We have seen how the legislature will sneak changes into legislation. We cannot underestimate the possibility that they could change this to allow all vaccinations to be given by pharmacists.

Make sure you read the petition page to understand the hidden dangers!

We must protect our children from vaccinations in the absence of their physician.

Any changes to the pharmacy language will be a priority defensive battle for H4ML.

We have relayed our concerns to Sen. Johnson, including that the age for pharmacy vaccinations should be increased to prevent vaccination of anyone under age 18 in a retail setting to meet basic safety standards. 

WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS BILL FOR MOVEMENT.

If you want to hear about changes to this language first, be sure to text us at 260-286-0988 with the word:  KIDS

Luckily, we have not seen any bills with outright threats to medical liberty. However, there are still bills that have not been filed. We will continue to monitor the situation and share an update on Tuesday.
We have identified a few bills we like to call “political immunization.” These bills appear to function with the intent to further medical liberty but their effectiveness falls short, much like the COVID vaccine. 

Designation of “political immunization” means that the bill fails to make a significant impact on medical liberty, isn’t enforceable, or even does absolutely nothing. 

We will call these bills out for what they are simply because we don’t believe that we should waste our time, talent, or treasure fighting worthless battles. 

Hoosiers for Medical Liberty respects our members, we want to be sure that when we ask you to add something to your busy schedule, it serves a purpose and WILL move the needle on medical liberty.

Overall, we think this is a good start to a rapid session. 

Things will move FAST because politicians want to be campaigning before the May primaries. 

We will have limited time to get things done during legislative session, and that means we must be ready to act at a moment's notice. 

Conscientious activists must also be looking toward the primaries.

If your legislator is ignoring medical liberty, or worse, attempting political immunization, you may want to consider identifying someone who will better represent your values.

The actions of liberty-minded activists across the state have paid off. 

Republican politicians now know that you are a sleeping giant.

They have come to remember who it is that they are elected to represent.

They are elected for and by YOU. 

Not big pharma. 

Not big ag. 

Not big industry. 

THEY WERE ELECTED TO REPRESENT YOU!

I hope you enjoy this little cartoon and enjoy it as much as we do. As we mentioned in our year-end review, Hoosier politics has seen several resignations and retirements. 

This is proof of your hard work and ability for Liberty-minded, grassroots efforts across the state to hold elected officials accountable.

The spirit of Lady Liberty is alive and well.  She is not resting, and we must use these victories as fuel to continue our pursuit of Liberty.

Stay engaged with H4ML and other grassroots organizations in the state. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Become a watchdog! (5 hrs per year)
2. Get H4ML text alerts (Text 260-286-0988 )
3. Join the Indiana PC Project
4. Be on the look-out for the next (medical) liberty champion and connect them with Hoosier Voices!
   

Don’t forget, we will have our monthly meeting on Thursday Jan. 18th at 7pm.

You can join in person at one of our H4ML Near Me Locations in Bloomington, Columbus, Fort Wayne, Huntington, and Indianapolis or virtually via zoom. 


In Liberty,
Ashley
