Vermont Parents Fight to Save Philosophical Exemption to Vaccination

How can the United States be called the Land of the Free when the government can force its citizens to take toxic substances into their bodies that may kill or injure them!

I would be interested to know the physician's diagnosis on this child. The symptoms match those of bacterial meningitis, including the splotches on the child's legs.

May well have been bacterial meningitis. The question would be, "What took down this child's immune system?" My grandchild was just in the PICU with HIB after a HIB vaccine. A little research and you learn that HIB vaccine can lower your immunity to the bacteria for a while after the vaccine. I'm guessing the doctor told these parents that what happened was "just a coincidence." "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." Upton Sinclair

That's rather unfortunate and my sympathies go to the child's family but considering the vast number of people vaccines have saved in comparison to the small amount they "may" have harmed, I'm still going to have to stand firmly with the vaccinated crowd.

Where is the proof that there is a vast amount of people who have been saved by vaccinations? Yes, I believe that vaccines are an incredible scientific invention, but haven't they gone a little too far? Shouldn't we be allowed to make our own health decisions? Shouldn't we have the choice to put monkey kidney tissue, chick embryo cells, aborted fetus tissues (thats other people's aborted babies if you don't know), mercury and other poisons and chemicals into our bodies? Go to the public health center and find these ingredients. They might be hesitant to give them to you but they are required to. That is where I got them. Then, some ingredients need to be researched through a medical dictionary because their names have changed to something we cannot recognize. Why should we take a new born child, who has not had a chance to build any kind of immune system through natural breastfeeding yet, and inject them with all of this crap that actually compromises their immune systems. Oh, and go ahead and sign a release that you hold this huge corporation who has billions of dollars harmless. No requirements to help pay for any damage they have done. Poor corporation couldn't afford it. Freedom, yea?

If you want to "stand firm with the vaccinated crowd" that is your choice. Everyone should be allowed to make their own choice. If you decided to be vaccinated than you should not worry if someone else is not, right? It shouldn't affect you. In this case, we are talking about a flu shot. The risks of getting the flu are much less than the risks of getting the flu shot. It's just not worth it. The more we allow the government to take away our rights to chose what is best for ourselves and our families the less free we become. That is the real issue here. Not whether or not vaccines are good or bad, but taking away our right to chose all in the name of greed.

I personally have way more faith in God and the immune system he gave us. There are times when vaccines may be justified (polio anyone?), but no one should be forced.

for that motherly iscnitnt! Nobody should act based solely on what their doctors tell them is best nor on what some celebrity has said. I would like to point out that I don't know anyone who has made the decision to not vaccinate (and I know several) that has not agonized over it I still do and my kids are 9 and 6.Like you, I went about things the accepted way with my first until various things made me start questioning. So with my second I researched (and am still researching) and decided to wait a year to do any vaccinating and then only got one at a time so it took a long time to complete that first schedule. Plus I just completely opted out of a few (and now wish I had opted out of more) and will probably forgo boosters. And, no lie, it is one confusing web of information (and lack-thereof) out there I'm left with that damned-if-I-do, damned if I don't, feeling. But I've gotten to the place where I evaluate things based on the risk of the vaccine (and it's not just concerns about the thimerisol but all the other toxins that are included and have never been tested most of the safety studies on vaccines were only performed on the biological components of the vaccines and not the adjuvant/preservative cocktail that's included) versus the risk of the disease I'd also like to point out that it is still possible to carry these diseases even though you have been vaccinated such is the case with pertussis. The problem with this is that you may be carrying (which means you can pass it on) the disease but you are unaware of it because you are not sick if you are not sick you are not taking the same kind of precautions that a sick person would, like staying home, staying away from vulnerable people, washing hands more often, etc. etc. So the idea that it's the unvaccinated population that is the sole cause of these epidemics' is kind of ridiculous.Again, thanks for taking the time to write these posts and for your level-headed views and sorry for my long-winded response

KayLynne's death certificate states "myocarditis following vaccination"

A little side note to "D's" message: At nine months of age, my oldest daughter developed bacterial meningitis but she never had splotches on her legs. I do not believe that is symptom is a reliable indicator of having had this illness.

Your body is now the property of the american government welcome to the american holocaust the nazis now are are BIG PHARMA

Our vaccine rights are being threatened in the State of Vermont! Please help us out by signing the petition at www.vaxchoicevt.com. Vaccines are neither 100% effective nor 100% safe and there is no way to determine who will have an adverse reaction nor how severe the reaction will be. parents have very little (or no) recourse in the event of an adverse reaction. Please stand up for parental rights and sign this petition!

I am a Vermont citizen and am outraged at this assault on our civil liberties. I encourage all Vermonters to voice their opposition immediately as the bill has passed the Senate and is up for approval in the House. Contact Health Care Committee chair Mike Fisher: 802-453-5517 or mfisher@leg.state.vt.us . This law is not about whether immunizations are safe or beneficial for the average person or for the public as a whole. It is about the individual's right to control his or her body and what is done to it. The state does not have the right to require medical treatment where immediate public threat is not present, particularly when the treatment carries recognized health risks, including disability and death. Clearly, due diligence and research about the real risks of vaccine injury has not taken place at the legislative level. That such risks are statistically small does not change the fact that every human body is unique and physicians cannot guarantee or preclude a given outcome for any given individual. Vaccine induced disease is real, and usually quite crippling, when not fatal. Is the Vermont state legislature willing to assume all accountability and liability for the consequences of every state required vaccine administered? Of course not. They could not afford to. Pharmaceutical companies have paid out billions in legal liabilities for immunization injuries. In the face of such real risks the state does not have the right to require any individual or parent to act against their best judgment. Furthermore, Senate Bill S 199 does not address an immediate or widespread threat to Vermonter’s health. There is no dire circumstance that outweighs our traditions of civil liberties and human rights. There is no need for this bill and no moral or civic justification for the extraordinary usurpation of individual and parental rights it would impose. The shocking disregard for Vermonters' self-determination and human rights expressed by the Vermont Senate in passing this bill conveys a degree of arrogance and shallowness of thinking that is unusual here. It appears that our legislators have allowed themselves to become the playthings of corporate interventionism and alarmist propaganda. Can they really believe that we will passively accept stripping parents and adults of their right to refuse an unwanted medical procedure that carries a real risk of injury and death? To impose such a risk by state law would be an intolerable violation of human rights, and would certainly be challenged in the courts. S 199 is dangerous to the health of individuals who are immunization sensitive and violates the rights of those who decide that, for them, the benefits of immunization do not outweigh the risks. Vermonters must be free to act on our self-knowledge and conscience, especially with regards to our bodily safety and health and that of our children, and we will fight to preserve our freedom.

This landmark case in UK applies here in the US as well, because US lawyers (esquires) and judges take an oath to the BAR - British Accreditation Registry. It states basically that ALL legislation outside of "Gods Law" is null and void, because of the oath/contract that "Queen" Elizabeth took and subscribed.
