Vaccination mandates for all?

There has been a lot of controversy over SB277 in California. What does this have to do with you? Everything. This law that will be implemented in January 2016 unless a referendum passes, will most likely have repercussions all over this country.

SB277 mandates that every child wishing to attend public school receive all the recommended 49 doses (plus additional vaccines as they become approved and yearly flu vaccines) of vaccinations by the time that child enters Kindergarten. While this might sound good on the surface, consider the following factual information on this one-size-fits-all medical program.

1.  We all have unique genetic properties and with this uniqueness can make certain individual’s susceptible to injury from the toxic ingredients (aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, MSG, DNA from aborted fetal tissue) in vaccinations. If your child has an adverse event to a vaccination due to a genetic mutation like MTHFR, you would still be forced into having additional vaccinations according to the CDC schedule. 

2. The state is making medical decisions instead of you and your doctor. Currently, if you or a child has an adverse event to a vaccination, you could delay them until you and your doctor feel that the nervous and immune system are mature enough to handle the toxic load in vaccinations, or, you could choose to not vaccinate. Many severely vaccine injured children do not qualify for a medical exemption, so any future vaccinations could cause even further injury or death.

3. Just as you wouldn’t want the state mandating surgeries, abortions and prescription medications, why would anyone want them to mandate this medical procedure? If you let the government control your medical decisions like vaccinations, what is to stop them from overreaching in the future? Let’s say your child has been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, would you want the state to be able to mandate that they take a Class II Narcotic like Ritalin?

4. This law would take away Informed Consent, something that is present for every other medical decision you make. While it appears that in general, medical practices do not do a great job now of informing people of the risks associated with vaccinations, this Bill will remove Informed Consent.

5. Medical practices and vaccine manufacturers have ZERO liability when it comes to injury or adverse events. Unlike every other medical product and procedure, vaccine manufacturers and MD’s are protected from malpractice claims. Therefore, there is no incentive to make sure their products are safe and to take responsibility to assure that the vaccination is a good fit for a child. If a child seat has been shown to be defective, it is recalled immediately. When VIOXX was determined to cause more harm than good, it was withdrawn, despite the FDA determining that it was safe. When Tylenol had a bad batch of product, it was recalled. In Salem County where 5 children were given the wrong vaccine, and the doctor's stated that there was a potential for neurological injury, there is no liability. With no liability in regards to vaccinations, vaccine manufacturers have no incentive to make their product safe and effective.

6. Medical professionals only receive information regarding when to administer vaccinations, not trained to identify a vaccine injury or the best way to treat a vaccine injury. I believe it is this lack of education and training is the reason why most doctors do not realize the harm that vaccines can have.
It is estimated that doctors report less than 10% of all vaccine injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS).

7. Since Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through sexual contact or “dirty” needles as can be found with IV drug use, why are babies receiving 3 doses of this vaccine prior to 6 months of age? And, when this immunization might be effective when they are sexually active, it would have "worn off" as vaccinations only give temporary immunity.

8. There has never been one study comparing the vaccinated population vs the unvaccinated population. And, there has never been even one controlled, double blind study using a placebo. All the studies that the CDC and vaccine manufacturer’s use to convince the public that vaccinations are safe involve comparing either one vaccine against another, or a vaccine against one that just has the virus removed, not the other toxic ingredients. And, the current vaccination schedule has not been either. 

9.   As of March 2015, there have been over $3.1 Billion paid out by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Considering that most parents of injured children are not aware that this program exists, or by the time they find out the statute of limitations to file a claim has expired, I find this statistic very alarming. Couple that with the fact that these claims are not adjudicated in a court of law. There does not exist normal court proceedings like hearing a case before a jury, discovery and the court having a “hearing”, but instead done by a secret “court” where one person will decide if a claim will be paid.

10.   There is no public health emergency that warrants this overreach by the government. The recent Disney Measles outbreak affected less than 150 nationally and no one died. At least 30% of the people had been vaccinated, many of the unvaccinated were too young to be vaccinated or older people where their immunity had waned. None of the students that got the Measles transmitted it in their school. And, patient zero, the person they believed to have brought it to Disney came from the Phillipines and is believed to have been vaccinated. Conversely, there have been at least 108 deaths from the MMR vaccine and hundreds of injuries. 

11.   Many people use the immune-compromised as a reason that everyone should be vaccinated. Did you know that someone recently vaccinated with a “live” virus actually sheds the disease and can spread the very disease that they are being immunized for? Many hospitals will tell immune-compromised patients to not have visitors that have recently been vaccinated.

12. Vaccine manufacturer's have approximately 200 additional vaccinations in the "pipeline", many of which could be added to the schedule, which contains too many vaccines already. Dr. Paul Offitt has stated that an infant's body could handle 1000 vaccines in a single visit, but there has never been a study proving this statement.

13. Currently, there are three whistleblowers that have either worked with Merck or the CDC whose cases have not been heard by Congress. Dr. Thompson, a researcher with the CDC has stated that his his superiors forced him to hide important data proving that the African American population has a 340% increased risk of developing autism from the MMR vaccination! He has shared his over 10,000 documents with Robert Kennedy, Jr. proving the endemic corruption at the CDC which led him to state that the CDC is a "cesspool of corruption". The study that Dr. Thompson administered at the CDC had been considered the "gold standard" proving no link between autism and the MMR vaccine and had frequently been cited by Dr. Offit proving that vaccinations are safe. 

When I was a kid it was normal to get the chicken pox, mumps and measles. It was rare that anyone suffered a serious consequence as many US citizens do what is necessary to have a strong immune system like exercising, eating healthy, drinking “clean” water and use proper sanitary methods. When these diseases were prominent it was prior to doctors washing their hands between patients either at the hospitals or in their offices. In other countries where people don’t have access to clean water, healthy food, and good sanitary conditions, they have a greater risk of contracting these diseases and possibly dying.

If states and the US government are going to mandate vaccinations then Congress must make vaccine manufacturer's and medical professionals liable for potential injury as they would for any other medical procedure or product. Medical professionals MUST be trained to recognize a vaccine injury and learn appropriate methods for helping those that injured to heal from the injury. Plus, an independent firm with absolutely no ties to the pharmaceutical industry, unlike the CDC or NIH, must do appropriate double blind placebo testing on all vaccinations plus evaluate the health of the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated!

The financial relationships between the pharmaceutical industry and government agencies (like the CDC and FDA) must be reigned in. There needs to be oversight and having people working at the FDA and CDC with financial ties or a promise of a job does not provide the proper checks and balances. Plus, people that can potentially profit from a vaccination must not serve on any committee mandating which vaccines need to be on a schedule. It has been reported that Dr. Offit has received about $30,000,000 personally from his Rotavirus patent after he recommended that it be placed on the childhood vaccination schedule. 

Understand all the facts and how taking away your freedom to choose what is best for you and your family could be taken away. Mandatory vaccinations for adults is next on the vaccine manufacturer's agenda. Tell your legislator that you do not want the state or federal government making any medical decisions for you or your family. Leave these decisions where they should be...with you and your doctor!
