The Vermont Daily Chronicle reports that Rep. Warren Kitzmiller (D-Montpelier), who died of a stroke Saturday, “endeared himself to vaccine freedom supporters by being the only Democrat to co-sponsor H322, exemption to immunizations required for attendance at school and child care facilities on the basis of conscientious and personal beliefs.”
Kitzmiller was indeed one who listened. After the Vermont House voted almost unanimously (130 to 3) to preserve Vermont’s philosophical vaccine exemptions, Kitzmiller told the Burlington Free Press: “I just said, ‘Wait a minute, these are not ignorant folks doing the wrong thing.’ They weren’t against vaccinations, they were against the blasts of multiple vaccinations at one time.”
Just three months ago, the Montpelier Bridge reported: “After 22 years, Kitmiller said he’s ready to get in some skiing and enjoy retirement.” Our condolences go out to Warren’s family.
Meanwhile, yet another family also is in need of support. Vermont’s “School Mask Lawsuit” continues, with the Desautels family standing again for justice in the courts – this time with the help of Children’s Health Defense (donations welcome). Some key points:
- Complaint was filed February 18, 2022 Vermont Superior Court against North Country Supervisory Union (NCSU) in Orleans County concerning their policies requiring students – specifically – forcing Ryder – to wear face masks at school.
- For an overview of the case, please read the press release.
