More than 1.2 million people in the United States are infected with HIV
1
but government officials do not ban HIV infected children and adults
from attending school, receiving medical care, being employed, or
otherwise participating in society. In fact, there are
anti-discrimination laws that guarantee civil rights protections for
Americans infected with HIV or living with AIDS.
2
No Discrimination or Societal Sanctions for Infected Citizens
In 2012, public health officials reported that about two million
people in America are infected with chlamydia, tuberculosis, syphilis
and gonorrhea,
3 and they estimate another three million people are infected with hepatitis C.
4
Like those with HIV or AIDS, these citizens are not targeted for
discrimination and blocked from getting a public education, being
employed or moving freely in society.
Live Polio Vaccinated Children Could Still Attend School
Between 1963 and 1999, doctors gave live oral polio vaccine to
millions of healthy American children, who became infected with vaccine
strain polioviruses they shed in their body fluids and transmitted,
sometimes causing other children and adults to contract vaccine strain
polio paralysis and die.
5 6
Those with compromised immune systems were at special risk for getting
vaccine strain polio and shedding vaccine strain poliovirus for longer
periods of time than healthy persons. Yet, children recently given live
oral polio vaccine were not excluded from attending school.
Calls for Societal Sanctions After Measles Diagnosed at Disneyland
But in 2015 after a handful of measles cases were identified at
Disneyland, suddenly Americans are being asked to surrender civil
liberties. We are being asked to discriminate against and condone
extreme societal sanctions against fellow citizens,
7 including removing religious and conscientious belief vaccine exemptions from state laws
8 9
so children cannot attend school without 49 doses of 14 federally
recommended vaccines by age six and 20 more vaccinations by age 18.
10
How did a handful of measles cases at Disneyland turn into a full-scale assault on civil and human rights in America?
12 States Introduce Bills to Eliminate Non-Medical Vaccine Exemptions
Why have politicians in 12 states already filed legislation to
eliminate non-medical vaccine exemptions, leaving only a very narrow
medical exemption that most people cannot get?
11 12
With 93 percent of pediatricians reporting that parents don’t trust
the safety of the government recommended child vaccine schedule,
13
why are many of them refusing to provide medical care to children if
they have not gotten every dose of every federally recommended vaccine –
no exceptions and no questions asked?
14 15 16
Censorship of Speech, Shaming, Imprisonment, MD Licenses Revoked?
Why are editorials calling for censorship of speech
17 18 and for parents with unvaccinated children to be hunted down and publicly identified,
19 sued,
20 21 criminally prosecuted and imprisoned,
22 and for doctors who criticize vaccine safety to have their medical licenses revoked?
23
What is happening right now in America is not about the the measles or public health.
Disneyland “Patient Zero” Never Found – Assumptions Made Anyway
It all started in January 2015 after 320 million Americans
24
had just finished ringing in the New Year and California health
officials announced that nine visitors to Disneyland were infected with
measles.
25
Two weeks later, the total number of measles cases was 51 but no public
health doctor in the country could find “patient zero.”
26
That didn’t stop newspapers from proclaiming that a single
“unvaccinated” person with measles spoiled the Magic Kingdom and that
measles is invading America because of “a decline in parents having
their kids vaccinated.”
27 28
Measles Immunity Wanes, High MMR Vaccination Rate in U.S.
It did not matter that the science shows measles vaccine immunity is not lifelong and wanes,
29 30 31 32 just like pertussis vaccine immunity is temporary and wanes,
33 34 35
or that it is illogical to put all the blame for measles at Disneyland
on 1.8% of children attending school with vaccine exemptions
36 37 when 95% of children entering kindergarten have gotten two MMR shots
38 39 and only 1% of children under age three are unvaccinated.
40
With a grand total of 170 measles cases reported in 17 states by March
2015, compared to 644 cases reported in 27 states last year,
41 and with 42% of the California-related cases documented to be in unvaccinated persons, while 13% of cases
were vaccinated,
42 there is no justification for gutting vaccine exemptions in state public health laws.
Witch Hunt Led By Doctors Against Families, Dissenting Doctors
Rational thinking has been the first casualty in this 21
st century equivalent of a 17
th century witch hunt
43
led by defensive doctors in government, industry, academia and media,
who are fed up with parents asking them questions about vaccine risks
and failures they can’t answer.
44 45 46 47 Assisted by communication conglomerates
48 and Astroturfers,
49 50 51 52 53 they piously wave the science flag and call parents “anti-social” if they don’t vaccinate
54
but completely ignore parents with vaccine injured children talking
about how their vaccinated children are never healthy anymore.
55 Some of the most vicious attacks have been on families consciously choosing to stay healthy a different way
56 57 and on doctors caring for families whose children are unvaccinated or receive fewer vaccines on an altered vaccine schedule.
58 59
The Cultural War on Freedom, Values & Beliefs
After headlines like “What would Jesus do about measles?”
60 and “God wants you to vaccinate your children”
61 marked a new low in American journalism, it became clear that the so-called “vaccine war”
62 63 is really a culture war
64 on freedoms, values and beliefs that have long defined who we are as a nation.
65 66 67 How it is fought and where it ends will determine the kind of nation America will become in the 21
st century.
$100 Billion Vaccine Market in 2025 Featuring Many New Vaccines
The $30 billion global vaccine market today will be worth a projected $100 billion or more in ten years.
68 A lucrative public-private business partnership has been forged between government and the pharmaceutical industry
69 70 71 72 73 74 with your tax dollars to develop hundreds of new vaccines.
75
Drug companies completely shielded from product liability because
Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court have declared vaccines to be
“unavoidably unsafe,”
76 77 are rushing to licensure genetically engineered vaccines for syphilis,
78 gonorrhea,
79 herpes,
80 HIV/AIDS,
81 tuberculosis,
82 chlamydia,
83 hepatitis C,
84 e-coli,
85 cytomegalovirus,
86 ebola,
87 88 salmonella,
89 norovirus,
90 adenovirus,
91 enterovirus,
92 asthma,
93 diabetes,
94 obesity,
95 high blood pressure,
96 anti-smoking,
97 anti-cocaine
98 and anti-heroin
99 use, and many more that Pharma and government will want many adults, as well as children, to buy and use.
Adult Immunization Plan Targets Women, Employees, Faith Groups
The new National Adult Immunization Plan aggressively targets pregnant women,
100 employers and their employees,
101 faith based groups
102and other adults for increased vaccine use.
103 104 Health care workers are already being fired if they do not get an annual flu shot,
105 a vaccine that works less than half the time and was completely ineffective this year.
106 107
The next profession on the firing line is the teaching profession.
108 109
A doctor turned politician in Vermont is pushing a bill to require
teachers and everyone working in a school to prove they have gotten
government recommended vaccines or be re-vaccinated.
110
Will your profession be next on that list?
Will You Be Prevented From Moving Freely in Society & Punished?
Will laws be passed to not only deny you a public education but
prevent you from obtaining health insurance; entering a doctor’s office,
hospital or retirement home; boarding a bus, plane or train; buying a
ticket for a movie or football game; shopping in a store, getting a
driver’s license, filing your taxes or otherwise participating in and
moving freely in society unless you show proof you have gotten every
government recommended vaccine?
Will your healthy unvaccinated children be taken from you
111 and will you be fined and thrown in prison?
112 113
Will public health officials with police power knock on your door one
day and take you to a quarantine camp or forcibly administer vaccines
to you and your children without your voluntary informed consent?
If Non-Medical Vaccine Exemptions Removed, You Will Have No Choice
Even if you and your children have willingly received every
government recommended vaccine today, if non-medical exemptions are
removed from U.S. vaccine laws, you will have no choice if you decide
you don’t want to use every new liability-free vaccine that government
recommends tomorrow.
This vaccine culture war is about a lot more than vaccination.
Because if the State can tag, track down and force you against your
will to be injected with biologicals of known and unknown toxicity
today, then there will be no limit on which other freedoms the State can
take away in the name of the greater good tomorrow.
What You Can Do If You Are Ready to Take Action
Are you ready to fight for your freedom?
If you are, here is what you can do:
GET INVOLVED. Participate in our democracy. Become an active user of the free online vaccine choice advocacy network at NVICAdvocacy.org
and work with other people in your state to take action. You will
receive email Action Alerts and be put in direct electronic contact with
your own legislators so you can call or email them and show up to
testify at legislative hearings. Invite your friends and family to do
the same.
WITNESS. If you experienced vaccine reactions and
are now chronically ill or disabled, you can share your experience with
others. You are not alone.
Vaccine reactions and injuries are not as rare as doctors want to admit to themselves or to patients and parents.
114 Today, everybody knows somebody who was healthy, got vaccinated and was never healthy again.
Talk About What Happened to Your Child After Vaccination
If you are a parent and watched your child scream for hours or
collapse, twitch and jerk or regress physically, mentally and
emotionally and become a totally different child in the days and weeks
after vaccination,
115 116 117 118 119 120
you have witnessed a serious event that you can talk about with other
people, including legislators representing you in your state Capitol and
in Congress.
If your child was revaccinated and you observed the same symptoms or
your child’s health got worse, it is compelling scientific evidence of a
causal relationship between vaccination and what happened to your
child. In scientific studies, this is called challenge/re-challenge
121 and what you saw is called clinical observation,
122 even though when parents do the observing most doctors dismiss what happened as “anecdotal”
123 evidence or a “coincidence”
124 125 that has no value at all.
Your Child’s Life Has Value, Don’t Let Anyone Bully and Shame You
What you witnessed happen to your child after vaccination
does have
value because your child’s life has value. Don’t let a doctor or anyone
else bully and shame you into being afraid to talk about what you saw
happen after vaccination, especially if your child is now chronically
ill or disabled and has been diagnosed with learning disabilities; ADHD;
epilepsy; autoimmunity; autism or communication, developmental or
disruptive behavior disorders; asthma, allergy or other brain and immune
system dysfunction.
126
Witnessing about what happened after vaccination is a way to help
others understand that every life has value, and no person’s life should
be considered expendable, and that we must never forget that universal
truth.
REPORT. It is estimated thatonly
between 1 and 10 percent of serious vaccine-associated reactions,
hospitalizations, injuries and deaths are ever reported to the Vaccine
Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), 127 128
even though federal law requires all vaccine providers to make reports.
If your doctor refuses to file a vaccine reaction report, you can do it
yourself. Go to NVIC.org and learn how.
NVIC Vaccine Reaction Registry; Freedom Wall; Memorial; Failure Wall
If you or your child were bullied or threatened with loss of
employment, medical care, health insurance, federal food or housing
assistance, the right to attend school or anything else because of your
vaccination status, you can make a report to your state and federal
legislators. Register for the
NVIC Advocacy Portal today to be put into direct electronic contact with them.
On NVIC.org, you can also report a vaccine reaction to
NVIC’s Vaccine Reaction Registry and share your experiences with others by posting a vaccine harassment report on the
Cry for Vaccine Freedom Wall or creating a page on the
Memorial for Vaccine Victims or reporting a vaccine failure on the
Vaccine Failure Wall.
LEARN MORE. Become educated about infectious diseases and the science, policy, law and ethics of vaccination. Go to NVIC.org to find fully referenced, accurate information you can trust.
Now, I am going to review five myths and facts that will help you understand what the vaccine culture war is really about:
VACCINE CULTURE WAR MYTH NUMBER 1:
Most medical doctors say that vaccines do not cause
Injury or death, so it must be true.
Doctors who say vaccines are safe for everyone and do
not cause injury and death are either uninformed, in denial or lying.
Since the first vaccine for smallpox, doctors have known and it has been
well documented that brain inflammation, permanent brain damage and
death have always been among most serious complications of vaccination.
129 130
Just like any other pharmaceutical product, vaccines
carry a risk of injury or death. These risks can be greater for some
people with genetic, biological and environmental risk factors that
doctors do not understand or cannot predict.
131
Congress, U.S. Supreme Court Say Vaccines Are “Unavoidably Unsafe”
Knowing this, Congress in 1986
132 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011
133 declared vaccines to be “unavoidably unsafe” and shielded drug companies from all product liability.
134
If you or your child are injured or die after vaccination, you cannot
hold the drug company that makes and profits from the vaccine or anyone
who regulates, promotes, administers or mandates the vaccine accountable
in a civil court of law in front of a jury of your peers.
Liability for Seat Belt Manufacturers - NOT for Vaccine Manufacturers
Seat belt manufacturers have product liability
135
but vaccine manufacturers do not. Doctors can be sued for malpractice
except when they administer vaccinations that injure or kill a person.
Vaccines are the only product government mandates and completely indemnifies.
The federal government has paid $3 billion dollars in
compensation to victims of vaccine injury and death under the National
Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
136
VACCINE CULTURE WAR MYTH NUMBER 2:
People who question vaccine safety are ignorant and
do not understand the science.
Just the opposite is true. Most people who question
vaccine safety are very intelligent and understand the difference
between good science and bad science.
137 138 139
Studies reveal that mothers and fathers with college or
post-graduate degrees are the ones who most often question the safety of
vaccines.
140 141 142
They are wondering whether government policy directing pediatricians to
give children three times as many vaccinations as children got 30 years
ago
143 is safe, effective and necessary.
Big Knowledge Gaps in Vaccine Safety Science
If growing concerns among parents about vaccination was
simply due to ignorance, two decades of reports published by the
Institute of Medicine would not have found large knowledge gaps in
vaccine safety science.
144
For example, there are fewer than 40 published studies evaluating the
safety of the federally recommended child vaccine schedule for infants
and children under age six.
145
VACCINE CULTURE WAR MYTH NUMBER 3:
People who do not vaccinate are selfish and
don’t care about the public health.
While we are all born equal with equal rights under the
law, we are not born all the same. Each one of us is born with different
genes and a unique microbiome influenced by epigenetics
146 that affects how we respond to diseases
147 148 and pharmaceutical products like vaccines.
149 150
Many Americans no longer vaccinate today because the
risks of vaccination turned out to be 100 percent for them, their
children or other family members. They have good reason to believe that
the genes they were born with make them more susceptible to vaccine
harm.
151 152 153 154 155
Vaccine Vulnerable Families Can’t Find Doctors to Write Medical Exemptions
But often these former vaccinators cannot find a doctor
to write a medical exemption because almost no health condition
qualifies for a medical exemption to vaccination anymore.
156
Unless you are dying of cancer and on chemotherapy, have had a recent
organ transplant or have the most severe combined immune deficiency,
most doctors will not grant you a medical vaccine exemption.
157
Non-medical vaccine exemptions are the only way vaccine vulnerable families can protect their lives.
Some Healthy Americans Choosing Different Path to Health
Some Americans use fewer vaccines or remain unvaccinated
because they have chosen a different path to health. They focus on
boosting immune function with good nutrition, exercise, avoiding
environmental toxins and using holistic health alternatives that do not
rely on heavy use of pharmaceutical products.
158 159 160 161 They are contributing significantly to the public health because they and their children are very healthy.
It is not selfish to want to make informed choices about
how to stay healthy. It is not selfish to protect yourself and your
children from harm, especially if you believe your family is more
susceptible to vaccine injury. If everyone protects their own health and
the health of their children, the public health will be protected.
VACCINE CULTURE WAR MYTH NUMBER 4:
Science trumps religious beliefs so
religious exemptions to vaccination should be eliminated.
The attack on Americans with religious or spiritual beliefs is central to the political agenda driving this cultural war.
162 163 164 Fellow citizens, who do not believe there is a God,
165 166 167 168 are demanding that those who have faith in God be required to place the same faith in science and doctors.
169
There is a big difference between fallible human beings and God, but some doctors do not understand this difference.
Vaccine Developer Ridicules Religious Belief, Quotes Scripture
One prominent pediatrician vaccine developer,
170 who insists that babies can safely be given 10,000 vaccines on the same day,
171 has publicly ridiculed religious beliefs
172 173 174 but now is hypocritically quoting holy scripture
175 and comparing Disneyland to the “Garden of Eden.”
176
Invoking the name of Jesus, he is trying to shame Christian parents
refusing to obey his orders to give their children every government
recommended vaccine, including the one he created
177 that has made him a very rich man.
178 179 180
Mothers Responsible for the Health of Their Children
I remember many years ago when a public health doctor
promoting the “No Shots, No School” campaign in America suggested I was
“selfish” for declining to give my two youngest children pertussis
vaccine even though my oldest son was DPT vaccine injured. Implicit was
the suggestion that I had no right to protect my own children’s health
if it conflicted with what doctors believe protects the public health.
I looked him straight in the eyes and said “Doctor,
whether or not I put my child’s life on the line for you and your
vaccine is between me and my God and not between me and you.”
As mothers, we carry our babies inside us for nine
months, we give birth, we love them more than we thought we could ever
love anyone and we nurture them throughout childhood so they can grow up
to be productive adult members of society. We are responsible for their
health and we are the ones who care for them when they become sick and
unable to care for themselves for any reason, and we are the ones who
weep at their graves if they die before we do.
Do Not Let Anyone Violate Your Religious, Conscientious Beliefs
You do not have to belong to an organized religion or
state recognized church to hold sincere religious or spiritual beliefs
about health and vaccination.
181 182 183
As a mother or father, you have the God given natural right to use
the brain and gut instincts God gave you to consider the evidence,
examine your conscience, pray for guidance and exercise the human right
to informed consent to medical risk-taking on behalf of your minor
child. Do not let a doctor, government employee or politician take that
God given right away from you.
It is a violation of religious freedom to force
vaccination when you hold religious or spiritual beliefs opposing use of
one or more vaccines and it is a violation of the human spirit to force
you to disobey the certain judgment of your conscience.
VACCINE CULTURE WAR MYTH NUMBER 5:
It is ethical for government to sacrifice the few for the many.
Based on hedonism
184 and a mathematical equation, this philosophy is called
utilitarianism 185186and comes from the word “utility.”
187 The utilitarian rationale was created as a guide for legislators making public policy by an 18
th century British social reformer Jeremy Bentham,
188 189 whose mummified head is being preserved by the University College London, where a wax version is on public display.
190 In 1905, the U.S. Supreme Court used Bentham’s utilitarian rationale to rule in
Jacobsen v. Massachusetts that state legislatures had the power to enact mandatory smallpox vaccination laws.
191
American Eugenicists, U.S. Supreme Court Embraces Utilitarianism
American eugenicists and social reformers embraced utilitarianism in the early 20
th century.
192 193
They argued that government has the legal right to discriminate against
a minority of citizens judged to be genetically defective or a threat
to the health and welfare of society. In 1923, U.S. Supreme Court
justice Oliver Wendall Holmes
194
gave the green light to the state of Virginia to forcibly sterilize a
young woman, Carrie Buck, because doctors judged her to be mentally
retarded just like her daughter and mother.
Coldly, Holmes proclaimed: “
three generations of imbeciles are enough” and said
“The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian tubes.” 195
It turns out Carrie Buck was not mentally retarded and neither was her daughter or mother.
196
Utilitarianism Pseudo-Ethic In Its Most Extreme Form
Doctors and public health officials in the Third Reich
implemented utilitarianism in its most extreme form to justify
conducting horrific scientific experiments on captive people.
197 198
The Nuremberg Tribunal justices presiding over The Doctors Trial after
World War II declared utilitarianism to be a pseudo ethic. They issued
the Nuremberg Code outlining the informed consent principle,
199 200 which has guided research on humans and the ethical practice of medicine ever since.
201 202 203
Forced Vaccination Laws Sacrifice the Genetically Vulnerable
The Institute of Medicine has confirmed that some
individuals have known and unknown genetic risk factors that make them
more susceptible to vaccine injury and death.
204
This means forced vaccination laws that fail to include flexible
medical and non-medical exemptions become a utilitarian, de facto
selection of the genetically vulnerable for sacrifice.
205
Is America really going to walk down that road? Are we
going to punish citizens for the genes they were born with in the name
of the public health?
Are we going to slide down the slippery slope of
utilitarianism and ignore the profound ethical and legal questions that
remain: Who gets to decide what protects the public health? Which
individuals should be sacrificed? And how many is too many?
Industry & Government Fail to Fund Good Vaccine Safety Science
Industry
206
and government have refused to fund good science to better understand
the biological mechanisms for vaccine injury and death, and whether
there are important health differences between vaccinated and
unvaccinated people,
207 and whether increased vaccine use during the past 30 years
is a major co-factor in the unexplained chronic disease and disability epidemic plaguing America.
With 1 child in 6 diagnosed with learning disabilities,
208 1 in 9 with asthma,
209 210 1 in 50 with autism
211 and 1 in 400 with diabetes
212 213
and millions of Americans suffering with cancer and other immune and
brain disorders that cost our nation $3 trillion dollars a year to
treat,
214 215 216 217
isn’t it time for government to explain to taxpayers exactly why
vaccine safety science should be left off our nation’s scientific
research agenda?
Perhaps they already know they don’t have to do that
because they are getting laws passed to hunt down and vaccinate every
last child and adult in America. Eliminating non-medical vaccine
exemptions will guarantee that scientific evaluation of health outcome
differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated people in America will
never be done.
The Future Is In Our Hands
The future of health and freedom in America is in our hands. It is in your hands.
It’s your health. Your family. Your choice.
The
doctor or nurse giving vaccines to you or your child does not know
whether the odds will be in your favor. You may get vaccinated and have
no reaction or your immune system and brain function could be severely
compromised. 9 10
The scientific literature is clear about that fact and so is Congress
and the U.S. Supreme Court, which have declared vaccines to be
“unavoidably unsafe” and shielded the pharmaceutical industry from
vaccine injury lawsuits. 11 12 13
If,
after vaccination, you or your child ran a 105-degree fever, collapsed
or had seizures and symptoms of brain inflammation followed by serious
health deterioration and you are still chronically ill but a doctor
disagrees that your continuing health problems were caused by
vaccination, no medical vaccine exemption for you. 66 67
In 1905, when the U.S. Supreme Court in Jacobsen v. Massachusetts
affirmed the right of states to mandate smallpox vaccination, the Court
warned legislatures that it was not condoning vaccination of persons
for whom the medical procedure would be “cruel and inhuman to the last
degree,” adding that “all laws should receive a sensible construction.” 84
