The Minnesota State Fair is famous for serving up a diverse array of things to chew on…on a stick.
So why not offer a healthy dose of vaccine risk education on a stick?
That’s exactly what I and a few dozen of us did Saturday morning in St. Paul, Minnesota.
With our factual, educational “sign bites” (visual sound bites), we turned heads, planted seeds and inspired conversations as we joined with thousands of other peaceful advocates in cities around the country who held demonstrations against forced vaccines.

When the National Millions March against Mandatory Vaccinations was set for August 31, some of our brilliant local advocates decided the State Fair would be the perfect spot for our local Twin Cities march. And indeed it was!
The MN State Fair is the second-largest state fair in the country, drawing more than 2 million people in 12 days. And the Saturday of Labor Day weekend crowds can pull upwards of 250,000 hungry fairgoers in a day.
Our local crew was organized by the Vaccine Safety Council of Minnesota and fellow citizens passionate about freedom and choice.

We encountered people who were excited to see our educational flashmob. We received several horn honks and cheers and only encountered couple negative folks as we walked along Snelling Avenue and Midway, to honor the parameters of our permit.
One of the police officers assigned to us for protection told one of our group leaders that he and his large family don’t vaccinate their children now either.
I only encountered a few negative folks, and of those, they were in true “Minnesota Nice” form. For instance, a guy covered his nose with his shirt while he walked by us. I guess he assumes we weren’t vaccinated and he clearly doesn’t trust the supposed “efficacy” of his own vaccines.
But arguing the efficacy was not the point of our march.
The point of the educational march was 1) Showing up and 2) Saying YES to personal choice and NO to mandates (i.e. pharma-government forced vaccines) and sharing a few of the vaccine safety facts most people don’t know:
- Vaccine manufacturers are exempt from liability.
- The average FDA “safety” test for vaccines is 4.5 DAYS (compared to 4.5 YEARS for drugs). This is due to a loophole because vaccines are classified as a “biologic” not a drug.
- Vaccines are not tested against placebos!
- U.S. law states that vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe.” (So the “safe and effective” mantra the pharma-bought media parrots doesn’t hold weight)
- Live virus vaccines do shed and spread disease. (Some people DO get and spread measles, mumps from the MMR, pertussis from the DTap, etc.)
Crucial facts for every individual and every parent to chew on!

Continuing the conversation inside the fairgrounds
I had a commitment after the march, so I was unable to spend the rest of the day inside the Fair, but Patti Carroll, co-founder of the Vaccine Safety Council of Minnesota, said they had a lot of great conversations and support inside the fairgrounds!
A handful of MN State Legislators, including State Senator Dr. Scott Jensen and Rep. Eric Lucero, who are strong advocates for medical freedom and preserving bodily autonomy.

MN Rep. Eric Lucero is a strong voice with a huge heart for medical freedom!
Conversations with people on all levels of the learning curve (we all started at zero)
Here’s the thing. All of us at one point were ignorant about the missed information and missing science behind vaccines!
We trusted our doctors and nurses.
They in turn trusted the government alphabet agencies to give them reports.
The government outsourced that trust and asked the industrial vaccine manufacturers to play nice.
They haven’t.
THAT’s what we’re dealing with. Decades of misplaced trust. And corruption breeds in that kind of environment.
So because of that cascade, there are people at all levels of the learning curve: From the “I put full faith in all pharmaceutical authorities and give them control of my medical choices” to the other end of the spectrum… “The industry does not have a track record of ethics so I’ll retain my right to choose, thank you.”
That’s why there are bound to be many people who are still at the starting point of this vaccine risks learning curve and the Vaccine Safety Council engaged with them too.
They simply haven’t heard the missed information.

Patti Carroll, co-founder of the VSCM, writes:
“There was the one guy who tried to explain why we should force vaccines by claiming it costs $5 to give an MMR vaccine [editor’s note, it’s actually $21], but $5,000 to treat a case of measles (which is ridiculous!). When I was a kid, everyone got the measles. We stayed home for a week, and mom fed us soup and popsicles. When we returned to school, we had TRUE, lifelong immunity.
So I also mentioned to this guy that if you’re going to try and justify forced vaccines using COST as your reasoning, you need to also factor in the cost of treating those who are inevitably harmed by the vaccine itself. Most compensated claims are upwards of $5,000,000 to care for vaccine-injured, brain-damaged child for life. The conversation abruptly ended at this point…”
Carroll also shared that they went to the Minnesota Department of Health booth and called them out for breaking the law. “Their handout on “immunization” requirements for school entry did not contain information on exemptions,” said Patti on her Facebook post. “This violates Minnesota Statute 121A.15. Everyone should file complaints with the MN attorney general!!”
