PLAYING ON OFFENSE.
THANK YOU.
DOZENS OF PROTESTORS SENT A
LOUD MESSAGE TO
GOVERNOR BAKER TODAY.
THEY'RE OPPOSED TO HIS ORDER
THAT MANDATES A FLU
SHOT FOR STUDENTS IN THE STATE
UNDER THE AGE OF 30.
THE GOVERNOR ARGUES THE SHOTS
ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM FROM GETTING
OVERWHELMED FROM A
1-2 PUNCH OF CORONAVIRUS AND
SEASONAL FLU.
WE GET THE STORY NOW FROM PAUL
BURTON.
CHANTING LOUDLY, HUNDREDS
GATHERED IN FRONT OF
THE STATE HOUSE TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST MANDATORY FLU
SHOTS FOR KIDS RETURNING BACK
TO SCHOOL.
WE THINK THAT'S COMPLETE
GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.
WE'RE HERE TO FIGHT FOR KIDS.
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GET THE
FLU SHOT.
STUDENTS OF ALL AGES IN
PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOL
AND COLLEGES RECEIVE MANDATORY
FLU SHOTS.
THEY'RE ENFORCING US TO
INJECT INTO OUR CHILD
SOMETHING WE DON'T AGREE WITH.
THEY SAY IT'S AN IMPORTANT
STEP TO REDUCE
ILLNESSES AND OVERALL
RESPIRATORY ILLNESS DURING THE
PANDEMIC.
THIS IS ABOUT THE FEAR OF
COVID.
IT STANDS NOW ACCORDING TO
THE DPH, EVERY CHILD
MUST GET A FLU SHOT IF THEY'RE
LEARNING VIRTUALLY.
PROTESTORS SAY THE GOVERNMENT
IS GOING TOO FAR.
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO CHOOSE WHAT GOES
IN MY SON'S BODY.
WE SHOULD SAY YES AND NO AND
GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T
CHOOSE FOR US.
THE ONLY PEOPLE EXCUSED ARE
MEDICAL OR RELIGIOUS
REASONS OR KIDS FULLY
HOMESCHOOLED.
10-YEAR-OLD XAVIER AND HIS
MOTHER SAY THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO GET ONE.
I DON'T LIKE RANDOM THINGS
GOING INTO MY BODY
WITHOUT MY CONSENT.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
BEEN REALLY STRESSED ABOUT
IT.
I'M CONTEMPLATING HAVING TO
HOMESCHOOL UNTIL
HOPEFULLY THIS GETS REVERSED.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM PRESS
ME INTO GETTING A
FLU SHOT.
I DON'T GET THE FLU SHOT.
MY KIDS DON'T GET IT.
