It is not normal.

It is not normal to have so many sick kids.

And it's our job as the moms and dads and the adults to turn this around.

So Children's Health Defense works through four different pillars.

We have education, advocacy, science, and litigation.

And we believe we are not a medical organization per se.

We're not gonna tell you what to do medically, but like you, we believe in the truth, and we believe in liberty, and we believe that parents armed with the truth and liberty will make the right choices for their individual children.

So we as an organization oppose all medical mandates.

As I think the Surgeon General Joe Latipo of Florida told you yesterday, I don't know if he said it yesterday, but he said it in the press conference with the governor not long ago, any medical mandate drips with disdain and slavery.

And that is the reality.

It is literally the state, whether it's the local, state, or federal government, telling you, we control your children.

We control your body.

You don't own your body.

You don't own your children.

The state does.

And that is a form of slavery.

What we have when it comes to medical mandates is medical tyranny.

And we who stand for liberty must oppose medical tyranny.

So although we stand to end medical mandates, and the states of Florida and Idaho are at the front of the curve, and we are so grateful for them setting the pace, in other states in the country, and in the majority of states, 45 states, we have religious exemptions.

And parents can assert religious free exercise rights to say, no, my kid is not going to get a vaccine.
