Re: Parent Vaccine Refusal Form

[Guest guest]

Sheri,

Thanks for the form, but do you happen to have the references? I would like

a copy of that too, if you have it. If not, would i need to do the research

in medical digests to get it? I would like to have book evidence just in

case.

Thanks!

I have emailed Kathy asking for the references as they didn't come with my

copy.

Anyone else on this list have the references from a previous posting????

I used Kathy's letter in my letter to Winter's doctor who happened to kick her

out of her practice! Thank GOD!!!

I'll send it as a Word attachment so the references stay in place. You might

have

to cut and paste but it's better than nothing at this point. I might have the

references from Kathy's letter, I'll have to look.

I have this that I sent to my daughter's doctor in hopes that when her

father took her to be vaccianted, they'd reconsider Well as a result of

the letter, the peds have dropped her from their care which is fine by me.

I'm just looking for any stall tactics I can in hopes that her dad will just

give up on this one.

The references won't come through on a cut and paste. If anyone wants this

as a Word document, I'd be happy to send it to you. Maybe another parent is

going through what I'm going through and this will help.

RE: Vaccinations: Risk vs. Benefit. Legal Implications

Dear Dr. Barbara Ledinicky MD,

5040 N. 15th Ave

Phoenix, Arizona 85015

(602) 263-9550

Fax: (602) 263-8212

This letter is written for the purpose of stating my position on

vaccinations. My daughter, Winter Coyne is being seen in your office on

Friday October 22, 1999 for thrush and possibly vaccinations, which concerns

me.

My position is clear: Vaccinations carry significant risks, and are not

necessary. I will not patronize you with the more trivial details. You

are a physician and I presume you know both sides of the vaccine paradigm,

at least I hope so. My conclusion is based on years of objective

investigation and research. I have found there is good reason to be

concerned. It’s been brought to my attention that I am not the only one

concerned with vaccine safety. The Association of American Physicians and

Surgeons (AAPS) has advised the U.S. Congress and the Department of Health

and Human Services to reverse its policy of recommending mandatory vaccines

until better studies can be done on their safety.

As you may know, her father and I have joint custody of Winter. I have

limited custody by law, which includes Winter 's health, specifically during

critical medical conditions. Thus, if Winter’s father decides to implement

the vaccines, I am requesting a written and signed statement from you

indicating that Winter is healthy and disease free, based on a physical

examination. I am also requesting the specific vaccine lot numbers to be

forwarded to me. This is in the event of any unexpected critical medical

condition that may develop in the form of an adverse vaccine reaction.

I am aware that VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) documented

cases of over 54,000 adverse reactions from vaccines in a 20-month period.

The National Vaccine Injury Fund, created in 1986 to compensate those

damaged by vaccines has paid out over one billion dollars in compensation to

date. I’m also aware that according to former FDA Commissioner Dr.

Kessler, less than 10% of doctor’s report vaccine-adverse reactions. I’m

very curious as to what the real numbers of vaccine damage. So the handouts

in your office are grossly inaccurate. I’m aware of the shoddy pre and post

testing tactics as well.

This position may make you uncomfortable. It should, if by chance you have

overlooked the potential and harmful side effects of routine inoculations.

I will tell you straight. I will initiate a lawsuit if Winter is injured or

develops a vaccine reaction. Of course, the waiver that Mike may sign, will

impede litigation, but my signature will not be on the waiver. I find it

quite curious that no insurance company is willing to insure vaccines.

I am writing this to you because I do care about the health and welfare of

Winter. I am ready to pursue all reasonable and legal avenues if necessary

in order to preserve Winter's health.

Please chart in bold red letters than Winter will not need the chicken pox

vaccine since she had a case of them when she was about 13 months old and

now has life long natural immunity.

Please also note, Winter has an older sibling that experienced an adverse

vaccine reaction after receiving her DPT, a seizure. Albeit, they have

different fathers, but she reacted adversely just the same.

Winter’s siblings, cousins, and niece are not fully vaccinated so please be

advised that if her father implements the recommended vaccine schedule, the

vaccines should all be killed viruses since the risk of vaccine associated

transmission is great, mainly the OPV.

POLIO:

I understand that there have been no cases of wild polio in the US in the

last 20 years and that those cases which have been documented have been

caused by the vaccine in both immunized and non-immunized people. The CDC

sheet that doctors are required by law to give to parents still states that

so-called contact polio is a risk only for people who never have been

vaccinated against the disease. The CDC knows better. Minutes from a

June1995 meeting of the CDC’s advisory committee on immunizations show the

organization realized that people who were vaccinated are susceptible to

contract polio.

I understand the following side effects for the vaccine are possible: Killed

virus polio: temperature of 102° in up to 38%, sleepiness, fussiness,

crying, decreased appetite, vomiting, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and allergic

reaction in those allergic to neomycin, polymyxin B and streptomycin. Live

virus polio: Reactions include contraction of polio by those who have

received the virus and by those who have come into contact with body fluids

and wastes of the immunized person. Paralytic symptoms may follow

contraction of polio. Live virus is reportedly shed for up to 8 weeks after

the inoculation. Guillain-Barré Syndrome has also been noted. Killed virus

Ipol is grown on monkey kidney cells, contains formaldehyde, and triple

antibiotics. The monkey kidney cells used in the original killed polio

vaccine contains SV-40 and has been found in tumor cells of children whose

parent's were vaccinated against polio using the contaminated virus.

HIB:

I am also concerned with the HiB vaccine. This vaccine will not protect

children from meningitis from all other forms such as pneumococcus, and

meningococcus, viruses, and fungi, pneumonia, and infections of the blood,

joints, bone, and soft tissue associated with Hemophilus Influenzae B. I

understand that this disease is most likely in children up to 15 months of

age and is fatal in 3-6% of children who contract it. Winter is almost 3

years old now. Incidence of this disease today is low and the vaccine has

not proven to be highly effective in 41% of cases, according to some

studies. Treatment is available. The vaccine is often combined with the

DPT which has the highest reaction rate of any vaccine available today.

Reactions include: contracting HIB, localized pain, erythremia and

induration, fever >100.6°, irritability, lethargy, anorexia, rhinorrhea,

diarrhea, vomiting, cough, when administered alone and diabetes . Reactions

occurred in up to 30% of patients. When administered in conjunction with the

DPT, reactions include local tenderness erythema and induration, fever

>100.8°, irritability, drowsiness, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, persistent

crying, seizures, urticaria, hives, renal failure, Guillain-Barré Syndrome

and death. Reactions occurred in up to 77.9% of patients. The vaccine

contains yeast, thimerosal (mercury derivative), and diphtheria toxoid when

given alone. Remember, Winter is being seen for a yeast problem and if

this will exasperate the problem, it should be charted. Also remember, these

yeasts and a host of other ingredients will be bypassing her natural port of

entries each with their own immune defense, and will be going directly into

her bloodstream. Something to really think about and how assaulting that is

to her little immune system that’s not fully mature yet.

DPT/DPaT:

The DPT/DPaT vaccine has the highest rate of reactions next to the Hep B

vaccine. My studies have uncovered, and well I have also personally

witnessed some of the adverse vaccine reactions such as fevers >106,

diarrhea, projectile vomiting, excessive sleepiness, high--pitched

screaming, inconsolable crying bouts, seizures, convulsions, collapse,

shock, breathing problems, brain damage and SIDS. One in 600 suffer a severe

reaction in one study and 1 in 875 suffered shock-collapse and

convulsions. Those in the 2nd study were only tracked for the first 48

hours following immunization. A more recent study indicates that 1 in 100

react with convulsions, collapse, or high-pitched screaming and 1 in 3 of

those cases sustained permanent brain damage. ) In a study of 103 children

who died of SIDS, 70% died within 3 weeks of the DPT vaccine and 37% of

those died within the first week. The DaPT is recommended as a safer

option for vaccination since there’s fewer MILDER side effects but the more

dangeorus side effects stayed the same . Side effects of the DaPT were only

tracked for 72 hours and included: tenderness, erythema, induration, fever

>102.2°, drowsiness, fretfulness, vomiting, upper respiratory infection,

diarrhea, rash, febrile seizures, persistent or unusual crying, lethargy,

hypronic-hyporesponsive episode, urticaria, anaphylactic shock, convulsions,

encephalopathy, mono- and polyneuropathies and still death. Either form of

the vaccine contains thimerosal (mercury derivative), formaldehyde, and

aluminum phosphate. Reactions to adsorbed diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus

(DPT) vaccine have mostly been attributed to the pertussis organisms or

pertussis components in the vaccine. Nevertheless reactions may also be due

to other factors such as sensitization induced by aluminum adjuvants and

impurities present in crude toxoids that cannot be removed by purification

of toxoids after formalinization.

MMR:

I want to make a note of the documented issues surrounding combination

vaccines, i.e. MMR and the DPT’s link with autism, in fact The Australian

Vaccination Network is calling on the government to immediately halt all use

of MMR vaccine until the proper studies are done to prove that there is no

link between the vaccine and these conditions. Dr. Vijendra Singh with the

University of Michigan, has published a report of a study in which he found

that 60% of autistic children tested had antibodies to brain tissue, in the

form of antibodies to myelin basic protein. He also found a strong

correlation between myelin basic protein antibodies and antibodies to

measles, mumps, and rubella (almost all of the children had been immunized

with MMR, and none had had these diseases. It’s quite elementary really,

most autistic children have a high level of measles titers in their blood

and haven’t even had the disease. This study confirms the results of a

similar study published in The Lancet in 1998 by Dr. Wakefield of the

Royal Free hospital in London, showing a link between MMR vaccination and

Crohn's disease of the bowel and autism. If your truly interested in

autoimmune diseases and autism in children, then as a healthcare

professional, then you might consider contacting Dr. Schneider at

602-340-8717 at the Southwest Autism Research Center. Her children became

autistic after their MMR and she had to leave her OB practice because she

got sick after her Hep B vaccine.

I understand the death rate for wild type measles is .03 in 100,000. I

also understand that since 1984, over 55% of documented, confirmed cases of

measles have been in fully immunized persons. The measles vaccine is a live

vaccine, and carries the risk that it will cause the patient to contract

measles. Other adverse reactions include: anaphylaxis, fever up to one

month following injection, cough, rhinitis, erythema multiforme,

lymphadenopathy, urticaria, diarrhea, febrile convulsions, seizures,

thrombocytopenia, purpura, vasculitis, optic neuritis, retrobulbar neuritis,

papillitis, retinitis, encephalitis and encephalopathy, ocular palsies,

Guillain-Barré Syndrome, ataxia, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis

and a recent study from Europe indicates that there may be a link between

the MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) vaccine and autism and irritable bowel

syndrome. My next issue with the rubella part of this combo vaccine is

it’s made on aborted fetal cells, namely RA 27/3 and WI-38..

There’s also studies concerned with all the different vaccines given at one

time. Again, if Mike chooses to implement the vaccines I hope he will at

least spread them out.

Hep B:

You and I both know how this virus is transmitted and my daughter is not

engaged in promiscuous sex or drug use. Accordingly to the CDC there’s an

ever so slight risk of transmission from a toothbrush but you and I both

know there has to be a LOT of blood AND an exchange of blood for this to

happen. I’m not a carrier or am I infected and neither is anyone else

Winter is around. I also understand there is a fairly new “antibiotic” for

Hep B and that most of those who contract it recover. As reported by

Tucson-based executive director of the Association of American Physicians

and Surgeon’s Executive Director Jane M. Orient, MD,, serious adverse

effects after receiving the vaccine -- including 48 deaths -- are reported

three times as frequently as cases of hepatitis B in children under the age

of 14. I have a good friend whose baby died within 12 hours of the

hepatitis B vaccine and as a result attended the victim’s panel in the May

18th congressional hearing into the hepatitis B vaccine. A reputable man

and a former Salomon Brother's proprietary trading strategist and a current

advisor to many of the largest financial institutions in the world, who has

the requisite statistical background to interpret scientific data. Official

CDC and FDA statistics show that in the 0-1 age group, babies are 20 times

more likely to report a hepatitis B vaccine adverse reaction than to report

a case of the hepatitis B disease. One third of the 25,000 hepatitis B

vaccine adverse reaction reports are serious (death, hospitalization,

disablement). The Rotavirus vaccine was just withdrawn from the market after

about 100 adverse reaction reports. The hepatitis B vaccine has generated

250 times more adverse reactions (!) -- and yet the FDA, CDC and American

Academy of Pediatrics still recommend this vaccine for newborns. Not

suprisingly, Hepatitis B vaccine manufacturers are facing criminal lawsuits

in France.

B. Classen, M.D. an immunologist at Classen Immunotherapies published

papers linking the immunization against hepatitis B and other diseases to

the development of insulin dependent diabetes, an autoimmune disease. Dr.

Classen's work found that immunization starting after 2 months of life was

associated with an increased risk of autoimmunity compared to starting at

birth Data from a small study published by the US government appears to

support his data and showed that when hepatitis B immunization was given

starting after 2 months of life it was associated with an almost doubling of

the risk of diabetes. This vaccine also contains: aluminum hydroxide, yeast

protein, and phosphate buffers. Again, yeast is an issue here.

Vaccine Ingredients:

Thimerosal was banned by the FDA in the use of over the counter preparations

on October 22, 1998. Then on July 8, 1999, the FDA announced thimerosal

should be removed from vaccinations since there is a concern of toxic levels

of thimerosal (mercury) accumulation levels in those who ingest it through

vaccination.

The US has known about the potential problems of thimerosal for many years.

The World Health Organization voiced concerns as early as 1990. Mercury is a

highly toxic element which does not leave the body. Once ingested,

injected, or inhaled, it is there to stay and accumulates. Because infants

receive so many doses of vaccines which contain thimerosal, it is possible

that the amount of mercury that accumulates is enough to cause problems

including brain damage. Thimerosal is listed as a recognized developmental

toxicant as well as a suspected skin or sense organ toxicant by the

Environmental Defense Fund.

Most infants have been receiving up to 15 doses of mercury-containing

vaccines by the time they are 6 months old. It is almost inconceivable that

these heavy burdens of foreign immunologic materials, introduced into the

immature systems of children, could fail to bring about disruptions and

adverse reactions in these in these systems. Public Health Service (PHS),

the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agree

that thimerosal-containing vaccines should be removed as soon as possible.

Similar conclusions were reached this year in a meeting attended by European

regulatory agencies, European vaccine manufacturers, and th FDA, which

examined the use of thimerosal-containing vaccines produced or sold in

European countries.

A small but growing minority of physicians and scientists are becoming aware

that safety testings for the various vaccines have been woefully inadequate.

As one of many examples, in 1994 a special committee of the National Academy

of Sciences published a comprehensive review of the vaccine safety of the

hepatitis B vaccine. When the committee investigated 5 possible and

plausible adverse effects, they were unable to come to any conclusion for 4

of them because, to their dismay, they found that relevant safety research

had not been done.

The clear implication of this and other revelations concerning a general

deficiency of safety testing in the vaccine field is that adverse reactions

may be taking place on a large scale without being recognized as to their

true nature. According to Dr. Orient, financial ties between vaccine

manufacturers and medical groups such as the American Medical Association

and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) which endorse the vaccine, "

pointing to a substantial donation to AAP from Merck & Co. " And the federal

government pays the state a bonus up to $100 for every 'fully' vaccinated

child. What's their motive – money or medicine? "

If you can show me the hard proof that these vaccines won't give my child

cancer, arthritis or multiple sclerosis, ADD, autism, Guillian-Barre

Syndrome, seizures, a myrid of autoimmune disorders, and a host of other

vaccine related side effects, both short term and long, AND when vaccines

are subjected to the same level of scrutiny given to drugs that are not

legally required by a government that indemnifies the manufacturers against

civil liability. I'll then consider consenting to having my child vaccinated

but until then I as a concerned parent must insist on a professional policy

of accountability and responsibility, backed by the threat of litigation.

Yours in Matters of Mutual Interest,

Larsen

The letter that was sent to Winter's physician was very powerful and well

thought out. Great job! I had never thought of vaccines from the viewpoint of

having to worry about the other parent going against your wishes (in the case

of joint custody). I'm sure that is such a worrisome situation!

Sheri,

I was wondering about the references, too. If you have those, they'd be

great for us to have, in addition to the form. Great work and thanks!

Sheri,

Thanks for the form, but do you happen to have the references? I would like

a copy of that too, if you have it. If not, would i need to do the research

in medical digests to get it? I would like to have book evidence just in

case.

Thanks!

Great work. Did you write it?

I assume it's intended to be handed to burearocrats who bombard us with

annoying redundant questions to find out what we know about the need for

these vaccines.

And not used for exmptions.
