NY Punishes Doc, MD Threatens Parents for Vaccine Refusal

by Barbara Loe Fisher

Last month, the state of New York slapped a $10,000 fine and State-ordered

supervision of a pediatrician practicing in the Upper West of New York

City, who helped parents get their children in school without all the

state-mandated vaccines. Pediatrician Mark Nesselson said he did it because

of the parents' and his concerns about the long term health risks of giving

children so many vaccines. He is quoted in the Nov. 25 New York Post as

saying " The central issue has not gone away. For me, that is the merit

behind mandating immunizations that start so early, that are so numerous. "

The report of New York State officials punishing a pediatrician with fines

for failing to vaccinate children comes on the heels of media reports last

week chronicling the actions by land State officials punishing parents,

whose children had not shown proof of hepatitis B and chickenpox

vaccinations, with threats of fines and jail time.

There is a spirited public discussion taking place on the website boards of

print and broadcast media outlets reporting on doctors and parents, who are

being threatened and harassed by state government officials for failing to

get all state mandated vaccines. It is clear that a growing number of

Americans do not like being forced to get so many vaccines for their

children. When 1 in every 100 to 150 American child develops autism and 1

in 6 is learning disabled and 1 in 9 has asthma, it is no wonder that

American parents are asking: Why are so many of our highly vaccinated

children so sick? And it is no wonder more parents and enlightened

physicians are seeking ways to make vaccine choices that do not conform

with one-size-fits-all federal vaccine policy recommendations and state

vaccine mandates.

Whenever the heel of the boot of the State is used to crush legitimate

dissent, the more people will question why it is necessary to keep the

people in chains. For more than 25 years, the parents of vaccine injured

children have been calling on public health officials to institute vaccine

safety and informed consent protections in the US mass vaccination system

so that Americans can make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccination.

The public health crisis today is very much about one-size-fits-all vaccine

policies that compel children to use dozens of doses of vaccines that have

not protected their long term good health.
