When I was in the Illinois House of Representatives in thq 1970’s , Illinois had more licensed professionals than any other state.
It seems that Governor JB Pritzker’s people have decided to target one of the largest groups for Covid vaccination: day care workers.
Here is the press release:
Gov. Pritzker Issues Executive Order to Protect Young Children Not Eligible for the COVID-19 Vaccine
Building on Vaccination Progress, Gov Announces Vaccine or Testing Requirements for Licensed Daycare Centers
CHICAGO – To prevent further spread of COVID-19 and to protect the health and safety of Illinois’ youngest residents, Governor JB Pritzker joined Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike, Department of Human Services Secretary Grace Hou, and Department of Childhood and Family Services Director Marc Smith today to announce new vaccination or weekly testing requirements for individuals who work in licensed day care centers.
Over 55,000 daycare center staff statewide will now be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine if they have not done so already. Employees in these settings who are unable or unwilling to receive the vaccine will be required to get tested for COVID-19 at least once per week. Increased testing frequency may be required in certain situations.
“Vaccinations offer life-saving protection for the people who receive them and make the community safer for the people who can’t – including the babies, toddlers, and young children not yet eligible for the vaccine,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
“By extending vaccine-or-test requirements to those who work at licensed day care centers, we are adding another level of protection for our youngest residents and preventing outbreaks in daycare centers as more and more parents return to work.”
To ensure Illinois youth who are not currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine are protected, all licensed daycare center staff in Illinois will be required to receive their first dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series or a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine by December 3, 2021, and the second dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series by January 3, 2022. Any daycare center staff members who are not fully vaccinated by December 3, 2021, will have to do, at a minimum, weekly COVID-19 testing until they are fully vaccinated.
Licensed daycare centers are child care facilities licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The centers are operated outside an individual’s home and regularly provide child care for groups of children ages 0-12. There are 2,872 licensed day care centers in Illinois.
“For continued, ongoing protection of our youth not yet eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, this Executive Order is the best way to protect the lives of thousands of Illinoisans,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “Scientific and medical experts have reviewed the data and found the COVID-19 vaccine will avoid serious illness, hospitalization, and even death.”
“Thanks to Governor Pritzker’s leadership, the requirement for vaccination will help our daycare workers who are the woven fabrics of our communities across the state put their health first and best protect children,” said Grace B. Hou, Secretary, Illinois Department of Human Services. “Our goals are simple. We want to keep our youth protected from COVID-19 in every way possible.”
“Parents and families across Illinois trust daycare staff with the health and safety of their young children every day. Vaccinated daycare workers offer another level of protections and an increased level of comfort for parents and caregivers whose infants and toddlers are not yet eligible for the vaccine,” said Marc D. Smith, Director, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
These requirements build on the Pritzker Administration’s existing vaccination or regular testing requirements for all Pre-K-12 teachers and staff; all higher education personnel; all higher education students; and healthcare workers in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, urgent care facilities, and physician offices, which were announced on August 26th, 2021.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted communities across the state, especially communities of color, over the last year and a half. I commend Governor Pritzker for his ongoing commitment to protecting the health and safety of all Illinois residents,” said Senator Paciones-Zayas (D-Chicago). “This Executive Order will keep our youngest constituents safe while ensuring our critical daycare center staff are protected as well.”
“The COVID- 19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations and communities of color. As such, Illinois Action for Children & many of our partner organizations who provide child care services have already mandated the vaccine for our staff. We welcome this mandate from the Governor as we do all we can to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and prioritize the health and safety of our staff and the families we serve,” said April Janney, President and CEO of Illinois Action for Children.
“As child care providers and staff, we have to do what we can to protect families’ children. Parents want to know their children are safe in our care. We also want to protect the financial security of our staff, and of our center, and the vaccine can help us do that to get to a healthier, more stable future,” said Dr. Jill Andrews, Founder & Administrator, Kiddie Kollege of Fairfield.
“The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect our early childhood workforce,” said Marcy Mendenhall, President & CEO, SAL Family and Community Services. “I applaud Governor Pritzker for his ongoing commitment to protecting the health and safety of all Illinois residents, especially our youngest Illinoisans.”
“Child care teachers and providers aren’t just protecting themselves with the vaccine, they’re protecting others, including the children they care for. Many of us get flu shots every year, and we should do the same for the COVID-19 vaccine,” said Brenda Crisp, Executive Director, Uni Pres Kindercottage. “Let’s get vaccinated, or get tested, so that we can protect ourselves, the children we care for, and our futures.”
“As leaders in the community, we have a responsibility to keep ourselves, the children we care for and our community safe,” said Dara Munson, President & CEO of Family Focus. “We continue to fight COVID-19 – and vaccination is the best step to do just that. I am always inspired by our caregivers and this is a moment to demonstrate that the health and safety of everyone, especially our youth, comes first.”
On August 4th, 2021, Governor Pritzker announced vaccinations would be required for all state employees who work in the state’s congregate facilities, including individuals at the Illinois Departments of Human Services (IDHS), Corrections (IDOC), Veterans Affairs (IDVA) and Juvenile Justice (IDJJ).
A masking requirement for all Pre-K-12 schools and childcare facilities, including indoor P-12 recreation, has been in effect in Illinois since August 4, 2021.
To slow the spread of the highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant, all Illinois residents over the age of two have been required to wear a mask in all indoor settings since August 30, 2021 regardless of vaccination status.
Vaccination is the key to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. A new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation indicates that from June through September 2021, approximately 90,000 COVID-19 deaths among adults may have been prevented if they had received the vaccine. All Illinois residents 12 years old and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at no cost and proof of immigration status is not required to receive the vaccine.

Will insurance agents be next? After all, they interact with people of ages who have actually died.
Can’t Alec Baldwin use him in another flick?
I would certainly hope that all day care workers in the facitilty that I might use to drop my kids off at would be vaccinated.
Not to mention that this will help to retard the progress of the pandemic.
The U.K. is experiencing a surge which started right at the time that Boris declared “Freedom Day” and removed restrictions. There may even be a new variant that has developed there.
We are never going to get this thing under control if people don’t start cooperating by getting vaccinated and observing mask wearing and other restrictions. New variants are always just around the corner and the next one may be resistent to the existing vaccines.
Lots of luck if that happens.
BullshitScience is proof that the FAKE NEWS MSM really can brainwash susceptible (low I.Q.) people.
Now repeat after me – LET’S GO BRANDON !
Actually, Honest, my IQ is in the genius range and I have advanced degrees.
It is the low IQ people who constitute the majority of the Trump supporters and anti vaxxing pandemic deniers.
Children in day care can easily catch the disease and spread it to parents and grandparents even if they never develop symptoms. Some children have also died. I can think of nothing more tragic than the death of a child.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Science, it’s amazing a “genius” in the high IQ range with advanced degrees can be hoodwinked by a good old fashion psy op being run through the MSM run CIA. Children have a 99.97% chance of surviving Covid. Older adults have a 99.9x % chance of surviving Covid. The people getting sicker are not the unvaccinated. The vaccinated are getting sicker and shedding to the unvaccinated.
The mRNA gene therapy shot which contains graphene oxide gives you a 90% chance of surviving while at the same time altering your DNA. Pritzker is an idiot. He wants people of this state to become guinea pigs for the unapproved Fauci/Gates experiment. Comirnaty whcih Gates got even mort rich off of is approved but does not exist today.
Please wake up. Abe obviously has.
It must be true that having children alters your brain. If you want to do what’s best for them, stop believing the news and the papers. Just trying to help.
Hey BS so can you prove that Trump supporters are the ones not getting vaccinated? Where is your statistical analysis? Not saying they are not getting vaccinated but you might want to look up the stats on non-whites not being vaccinated? What is the statistical analysis of how many children have died from COVID? Though any child that dies including adults is a tragic what are the stats? And since you believe that the vaccine is the savor for this please kiss Trump’s ring for getting you that vaccine! Praise him to the ends of the earth for giving this vaccine to the world!
BS, you are BS, totally.
You either pass this IQ test, or you get the clot shot and die.
No doubt there are a good number of placebos out there to achieve the initial “buy in”. I wouldn’t doubt some lots are just general human experiments.
If they start taking more overt measures to limit mobility and travel, you can be certain they are doing population studies.
They have cleverly run the vax-death dictatorship in 3 stages
1st, propaganda to get 50%-80% of plebs in each country vaxed
2nd, sell the lie that unvaxed are hurting the vaxed, and that unvaxed are blocking things from being normal
3rd, leverage the self-denial of the vaxed – who don’t want to admit they committed irreversible self-harm, who don’t want to see or believe the truth – to get the vaxed to hate the unvaxed, and go along with total repression of us.
Our Jewish plutocrat overlord has begun the overt oppression. The pretty word phase of the tyranny is coming to a close. No more carrots.
Now come the sticks in a fevered pace before the first die off wave emerges.
Look at this suppressed news from Singapore, a country with a very high vaccinate rate…….and get a load of the horrible graph and spike of Covid breakthroughcases.:
Singapore’s current Covid-19 spike is both puzzling and expected.
Puzzling because the island nation has fully vaccinated 82% of its population of 5.7 million, a share once believed to be past the threshold for herd immunity. But Singapore has now been reporting record high cases since late September, with more than 2,900 new infections on Oct. 1.
Prior to this wave, the highest single-day total was 1,426 reported in April 2020.

Who’ll be next?
Nurses, doctors, therapists, EMTs, pharmacists, veterinarians, undertakers, barbers, plumbers, electricians, butchers, coaches, tailors, even dog walkers!
Lawyers will be the last professional group.
Why?
They might sue….. and succeed.
Better to wait on them and go after easy prey first.

“Some children have also died.”
Young people are also getting hurt from vaccines.

The government or employer, mandating the vaccine on employees, is wrong and out of bounds.
However, people throwing away careers by refusing the vaccine, are completely absurd.
Both sides are out of touch.
Joseph, people are throwing away careers because they know the background of this unapproved mRNA gene therapy and what is contained in it and if it’s a matter of putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger or living your life as God intended, those that quit are choosing the latter rather than becoming a Gates/Fauci guinea pig.
Don’t forget who owns the patents for the Covid cures.
They get rich while fulfilling their sick evil goal of depopulating the planet.
The government does not give 2 craps about your well being.
Once you understand that you will be better off.
JT, once you understand I don’t care what you say the better off you’ll be.
Just because it’s “your” truth dosent make it “the” truth.
Sorry, I don’t live in the Cindy world.
Not sure why you feel to desire to make people believe what you believe.
You are nobody to me.
I really don’t care if the government cares about my well being.
I’m not even a registered voter. I
spend zero time wasting on government or politics.
Sorry.
LOL Joseph. This is a political blog and you don’t vote yet you spend time posting on a political blog.
Priceless.
I can prove these vaccines are poison.
You keep living life thinking you know the truth because the nightly news tells you what the truth is.
Embrace the vaccine passport which is just another Nazi papers please social engineering crap they are pushing on free Americans.
Cindy actually gets it.
I hope you live long enough to experience what is coming and don’t use your cognitive dissonance to try to dismiss the real truth.
Joseph? Funny you should say that. You are much closer to “Cindy world” than you think.
I don’t believe one word of poltics nor one thing about ANY government. Maybe this will open your eyes. http://www.voterig.com/divine%20image%20destroyed%20sm.mp4
LOL JT? Actually, I am a friend of Cal’s from back in the day when he was actually running for offices and activating locally.
I spend a little time here but will NEVER EVER vote again nor input anything as wasteful to anyone’s time as a political opinion. Get out of the harlot system before it is too late.
JT, btw, lots of articles here are not political.
Crime, local news, events, ect.
Why care about something I have zero control over.
Not worth my time or energy.
You do you though.
Good video Cindy. It provided me a different perspective on how the mRNA graphene oxide injection is doing more than killing people by altering their DNA. It is breaking a bond. Unfortunately we have alot of sheep that don’t want to seek the truth who will end up injecting this crap in their bodies. I have a few in my family.
And re voting, the more of us that vote the more they have to manipulate the vote on the cheating end for the anointed ones. The more they cheat the more it becomes obvious to us what is going on.
2020 blew the lid off the big lie aka the big cheat.
I almost spit my coffee thru my nose on you harlot system comment.
The system makes prostitution look angelic compared to how these scum operate and live their short existence on this planet
JT? Sorry, but none of the voting is real. Took me a whole lifetime to understand how crooked the system has ALWAYS been. I believe we now call it rigged. All of it is a farce carried out to amuse you into thinking you have some kind of say.
Joe that was an interesting comment.
” Why care about something I have zero control over.”
Do you report to the government or do they report to you?
Don’t worry, I have friends who say the same thing so it is not an uncommon thing to hear that people are basically ceding their god given power to a bunch of grifters in our state capitols and Washington DC.
I do agree that Cal does offer up a variety of articles so you are right about it not being 100% a political blog.
Joseph, is your carbon monoxide detector on? Are you getting enough oxygen.
My wife’s beautician quit when her salon in Crystal Lake came up with a vax mandate.
Now she does hair from her home.
Charges 60% less because she doesn’t have to kick back to the salon.
She took all her clients.
The salon threatened to sue her.
She told them to go to Hell.
Now they just asked her to come back under a new arrangement whereby she’ll only have to pay 25% head tax to the salon.
And a secrecy clause for her not to tell other salon hairdressers about her ‘special deal’.
She emailed the proposed contract to all the other salon hairdressers.
That resulted in 3 more quitting, and 2 threatening to.
This actually has me chuckling.
Amphenol
I believe that story describes capitalism at work against tyranny.
Make sure your wife tips her the same or better since it is now going in her beautician’s pocket and not the landlord.
I hope the beautician buys a safe because you don’t want the IRS auditing her if they get their stupid reporting additions to our annual 1099-INT forms and reported to the new 81,000 pension collecting IRS agents to come after us.
Just remember the following:
1. The pandemic is to force you to get the vaccine.
2. The vaccine is to force you to get the vaccine passport.
3. The vaccine passport is to force you into the social credit system.
4. The social credit system is to force you into obeying the government.
Communist China already is operating under a social credit system today.
Now where to you think the commies in DC came up with this as an end around to our constitution?
FakeScience – actually the lowest IQs of nearly everyone on earth belong to our inner city minorities.
Who do you suppose these geniuses voted for in the last election?
Cindy I am with you but if we sit back and do nothing we will get more of the same.
I didn’t realize how bad it was until 11/4/20.
I am now beyond fully aware what is and has been going on for many many decades and who is behind it – both sides of the aisle.
I find it interesting on the blog there is concern about redistricting maps and flipping red districts to blue districts or vice versa.
I never much followed that so I am learning here by reading some of the perspective.
I keep wondering why converse about maps when the problem lies in the machines and payoffs to place the anointed ones into office using them.
Just learning the ropes on the site but the lack of curiosity on how a guy who stayed in his basement and didn’t campaign and got 81m votes when his rallies had less than 200 people and he can’t put a sentence together is a believable outcome for our president.
I’m unsure why keystrokes are being wasted on maps and not being used to educate how Biden got 81m votes and Mike Madigan could not be ousted for 5 decades.
JT? Congratulations on being newly awakened to the state of the world. It takes an awful lot to shake off the trauma-based mind control. I was, fortunately, one that never fell for it in the first place. Saw this coming in the fifties but didn’t realize that there would be so many that actually fell for it! THAT is where I am dumb as a bag of hammers. I thought people had common sense, integrity, and principles that would guide them while only a handful of degenerates would be falling off the turnip truck. Who knew there would be so MANY turnip trucks?
