Do not be discouraged
by this report just released by the National Vaccine Information Center!
Citizens across the U.S. are taking action to oppose these bills, and there
have been some recent victories as bills in Oregon and Washington to expand
medical tyranny regarding forced vaccines have been defeated (for now)!

URGENT Action Update on Proposed Bills Threatening Exemptions, Forcing Vaccines and Tracking
Action Alert Instructions
March 11, 2015 Update
March 11, 2015 Update
Dear NVIC
Advocacy Team Members,
The war on families
making selective and informed vaccination decisions continues to rage
in state legislatures across the country. As of March 11, 2015, NVIC
is tracking 110 bills across 36 states!
[Scroll
down to see a list of all the bills.] There is no coincidence regarding common
bill language removing rights appearing in bills across the country. This
is an orchestrated legislative effort by those who want to force vaccination.
Deadlines to file bills are happening now and committee hearings are
starting to kick into full gear. Some bills are surging forward and immediate
action is needed while in other states, active opposition and education has
made a profound impact to slowing the bills down.
ELIMINATING AND RESTRICTING VACCINE EXEMPTIONS Hearings to remove
philosophical/conscientious exemptions to vaccine mandates have already
taken place in Washington and Oregon. California, Maine, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Texas, and Vermont all have bills already filed or press
announcements of bills about to be filed to remove philosophical/conscientious
exemptions. Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota and Texas have bills to substantially
restrict philosophical/conscientious exemptions. Religious exemptions are
also under attack. Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont
have bills filed or announced to eliminate religious exemptions, and Illinois,
New Mexico and Texas have bills filed or announced to unconstitutionally
restrict religious exemptions.
EXPANDED VACCINE MANDATES Fifteen states have
bills filed to expand vaccine mandates. These include Connecticut, Florida,
Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. What is so disturbing
about the Texas and Vermont bills are the vaccine mandates are for school
employees, and there are no philosophical or religious exemptions
allowed. These are the first states to go after teachers, school administrators
and school staff. Nothing like this has been passed before. It is very concerning
that Hawaii, New York and Texas have bills filed to allow some minor children
to consent to their own vaccines behind their parents’ backs without their
parents’ knowledge or consent. California already has this language in
statute. This is in violation with federal law that requires parents to get
Vaccine Information Statements so they can make an informed decision.
POLICE AND EMERGENCY POWERS Two states, Arizona
and Texas, have bills that affect police and emergency powers. The Texas bill
gives the police the power to forcibly detain people only suspected of having
been exposed to an infectious disease and eliminates the protective
requirement for a warrant.
EXPAND AND FORCE INTRUSIVE VACCINE TRACKING AND VACCINE DATA SHARING 11 states, Arizona,
Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York,
South Dakota, Texas, and Vermont all have bills filed to require or expand vaccine
status tracking in most cases without knowledge or consent to be used as
mandatory vaccine enforcement systems.
PUBLICALLY PUBLISH EXEMPTION AND VACCINATION RATES Five states, Arizona,
Maryland, Missouri, Oregon, South Dakota, and Texas have bills filed to publically
release vaccination and exemption rates by areas as small as individual
schools and day care facilities to create an even more divisive, discriminatory
and prejudicial environment towards children with vaccine exemptions.
Isolating and marginalizing healthy children whose parents don’t agree
with all government mandated vaccines is un-American. These bills create
an environment conducive to pitting parent against parent and child
against child in an attempt to use community peer pressure as a club to
coerce parents to vaccinate against their conscience and religious
beliefs. These bills have nothing to do with public health and protecting
immune compromised students when you consider the following facts: Some
people are non-responders to some vaccines and vaccine effectiveness for
some vaccines, especially for pertussis containing vaccines, wanes
rapidly. Some students are provisionally enrolled and not fully vaccinated.
Federal law, the McKinney-Vento Act, requires that homeless students be
allowed to attend school without proof of immunizations. There are no
requirements that teachers, staff, and administration be vaccinated with
the same childhood vaccine schedule. These all are people who are no different
immunologically than a healthy student with a vaccine exemption and yet
they represent a much larger percentage of the school population than
the students with a vaccine exemption targeted by these bills. On the other
hand, students with active HIV infections are not only
allowed to attend school, their confidentiality of their infection status
is protected in state and federal law. Students who are vaccinated with
live viral vaccines experience viral shedding and can infect susceptible
individuals for a period of several weeks post vaccination. Some people
who are vaccinated still get the illness while some have subclinical
infections and can still transmit vaccine preventable diseases and not
show symptoms because the vaccine suppresses them. If this is all about protecting
health, where are all the bills requiring disclosures about all of the above
to parents?
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Assess what you are
up against in your state. Log into the NVIC
Advocacy Portal at http://NVICAdvocacy.org and look below to
see a snapshot of what bills are currently filed in your state. First, contact
your own legislators and their staff, and then ask your friends and family
to do the same. Immediately contact your state legislators and connect
to them from your heart about why these bills can hurt your family. Do not
wimp out and just send an email if there is any way possible you can meet
with them in person or talk on the phone to them. Make them look into your
eyes or hear your voice when you sincerely tell them about vaccine reactions
and health concerns for your family, how you and your children have been
treated by doctors and your school over this issue, why you delay or decline
vaccines, and why they may want to preserve this right for themselves and
their own family in the future. If you follow a non-pharmaceutically based
model of health care, tell them why. Educate them. You have to connect to
them on a personal level so they can get this. Find out what other bills
they have sponsored so you can find common ground about things you both care
and agree about to break the ice. We are fighting a very powerful
pharma/medical forced vaccination lobby, but they don’t have these personal
connections that constituents have.
Please register for
the NVIC Advocacy Portal if you haven’t already and make it
a habit to log in frequently to stay updated and learn what you can do to help
with each bill in your state. Registration is required so we can help
connect you with your legislators. Check the bill status on the NVIC
Advocacy Portal to see if you have any upcoming hearings on the bills and
make every effort to attend the hearing and register your position on the
bill and offer written and/or oral testimony. Additionally, one of the
most helpful additional things you can do is to take proactive steps to
reach out into your community to your local supportive health care practitioners,
parenting groups, political groups, natural health websites and blogs,
and friends and family asking them to share this information with their contacts
so they can communicate with their legislators too. Keep the media honest!
If you see an article or news show somewhere with misinformation, take
the time to comment, submit a letter, and reach out to news editors to correct
the misinformation. Do not let these decisions be made for you by those
whose power, positions or profit are dependent on forced vaccination.
LEGISLATIVE EDUCATION ACTION NEEDED NOW
Lookup your state legislators and
their contact information. Click on “Check What is Happening in Your
State” on the home page or “My State” on the STATE
TEAMS Tab. Your personal state legislators
(House, Senate, Governor and Lieutenant Governor) are listed on the right
side of the page. Click on them one at a time to display their contact
information.
Choose how you would like to deliver your message. The
suggested modes of communication below are listed in the order of being
more likely to be more impactful on educating your legislator. Make the
personal appointments. Please don’t think signing a petition is going to
change anything.
a) Make an appointment for a direct personal visit;
b) Make an appointment to talk directly in a
personal phone call;
c) Make an appointment to talk in person to
a legislative aide;
d) Call and talk to a legislative aide to
relay a message; or e) Send an email through web contact forms or legislative
email address.
Suggested talking points for state legislators:
Introduce yourself and identify yourself as a constituent. (If this
is a meeting or a phone call, ask them if they agree with the statement that
nobody should be forced to submit to any medical procedure, including vaccination,
which carries the risk of injury or death.) Share that you are very concerned
about some of the divisive one-sided conversations and bills being filed
right now regarding vaccination exemption rights (or bills filed in your
state). Explain why it is important to your family to be able to delay or
decline vaccination. This is where you could share your vaccine reaction,
harassment, or vaccine failure story to personalize your communication.
Explain that there are some very important reasons why legally protecting
the right to informed consent to vaccination without penalty by the state
should be a priority and these crucial points have been left out of the conversation
by forced vaccination proponents.
Vaccines are pharmaceutical products
that cause injury and death for some. The
United States Government has paid out more than $3 billion dollars to vaccine
victims. Many more people have adverse reactions. Nobody can predict
who will be harmed from vaccines.
Vaccines manufacturers and the doctors
who administer vaccines are
completely shielded from liability for vaccine injuries and deaths.
Vaccines fail sometimes
where even fully vaccinated people become infected. Nobody can
predict who will or will not respond to vaccines.
Children
today receive 69 doses of vaccines for 16 different viral and bacterial
illnesses
which more than doubles the government childhood schedule of 34
doses of 11 different vaccines in the year 2000. A vaccine
exemption is filed regardless of whether the exemption is filed for one dose
or all doses. 35 doses and 5 more unique vaccines have been added to the schedule
in the last 15 years. Those supporting forced vaccination are being dishonest
by not acknowledging the exploding vaccine schedule while sounding alarms
over small increases in overall non-medical exemptions.
There
are hundreds of new vaccines in development including some of
the following in clinical trials: HIV,
herpes, E. coli, dengue fever, avian influenza, smallpox, tuberculosis,
typhoid, norovirus, cholera, smoking cessation, syphilis, and gonorrhea.
If vaccine manufactures and others who profit from forced vaccination
convince legislators take away our right to delay or decline a vaccine
now, what will our future look like?
In
the past 5 years, drug makers have paid the U.S. Government $19.2 billion
in criminal and civil FRAUD penalties. Skepticism of the
pharmaceutical industry is well deserved, and it doesn’t imply a skepticism
of science.
Physicians, in the American Medical Association
Code of Ethics, affirm philosophical and religious exemptions for themselves.
See Opinion 9.133
Routine Universal Immunization of Physicians. Parents
should have that same right. Refer to “Measles in Disneyland: Third MMR
Shot and Vaccine Exemption Ban?” by NVIC’s
President Barbara Loe Fisher for some illuminating insight into facts
that need to be exposed about the California measles outbreak and other vaccine
failures. http://www.nvic.org/NVIC-Vaccine-News/January-2015/measles-in-disneyland-third-mmr-shot-and-vaccine.aspx
Please forward this email to family and
friends and ask them to share their concerns with their legislators as
well. You can post the link to this alert on social media: http://www.nvicadvocacy.org/members/National/ActionAlertDetails.aspx?itemid=649&Page=True
Refer to NVIC’s
“Reforming Vaccine Policy and Law” guide for answers to questions your legislators
may have. The fully referenced version can be found on our site posted
at: http://www.nvic.org/Vaccine-Laws/state-vaccine-requirements/Reforming-Vaccine-Policy—Law-Guide.aspx. You can include
this link in your letters as well.
