Mandates Toolbox
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20230503154913im_/https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Health-freedom-800x416.jpg)
Children’s Health Defense believes in complete health freedom for parents. It should be the parent’s choice, and not the government’s, to decide what goes into the bodies of their children. Statewide policy is becoming more and more oppressive while, at the same time, more inadequately-tested vaccines are added to the childhood schedule. Parents in many states are now fighting to keep their personal beliefs and religious exemptions in place and prevent mandates.
Collected from many advocates across the United States, this resource list contains many helpful items that proved to be useful. Children’s Health Defense hopes this “toolbox” full of factual information in a central location will aid in the defense of health freedom. Please feel free to use any of these resources and, except for the ones that are copyrighted, brand them for your needs in your state. Updated July 20, 2021

Taking It to the Streets — Peaceful Protest in Albany as NYSBA Walks Back COVIDVaccine Mandate Recommendation

Vaccine Mandates for Everyone, Everywhere—A Globally Coordinated Agenda
In the United States, those who are vaccine risk-aware have much to be concerned about right now. More and more states—and many legislators from both political parties—are displaying a willingness to impose heavy-handed vaccine mandates that trample on religious, parental and human rights—including the precious right to “security of person” guaranteed by Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
