Connecticut Rep. Kevin Ryan introduced Bill No. 5480 Tuesday calling for children to be able to receive a vaccination of any kind without parental consent. Ryan has been an advocate for the COVID-19 vaccine in the past according to posts on his official social media.
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in the General Assembly convened: That the general statutes be amended to allow a child twelve years of age or older to receive a vaccination with the consent of such child’s parent or guardian,” the bill read.
Ryan told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the bill represented an “important concern for his constituent[s].”
“As their representative, it’s my duty to express their requests and ensure their concerns have been taken seriously, especially on a health care issue,” Ryan explained. “It will be up to the Public Health Committee to decide the merits of this legislation.”
Currently, Connecticut law requires parents to give verbal or written consent before their child obtains a vaccine, according to Kaiser Family Foundation. Ryan’s legislation comes not long after the Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced that it had found a potential link between the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and an increased risk of stroke for individuals over age 65.
In October 2022, a CDC panel also added the COVID-19 vaccine to the immunization routine for children. The vote by the advisory panel was unanimous, while the addition of the vaccine does not mandate the shot for children, states tend to follow the recommendations of the CDC when deciding which vaccines are required to attend public schools.
The CDC did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
