Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Dear PROVE Members, What could the possible motivation be to threaten parents with jail time for not getting their children Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox Vaccines? Last week I called State’s Attorney of Prince ’s County Glenn Ivey’s office in land to ask his office that question, and the answer I was given was for public health because “you wouldn’t want to be sitting next to someone with TB, would you?” Besides the fact that TB has nothing to do with this, we are talking about Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox – this district or any other one for that matter before the mandates weren’t seeing masses of kids hurt by these two diseases. I went on to explain that it was disappointing that the information coming out of his office in the early part of the week made no mention of the vaccine exemption. Later in the week, it was at least brought up as more parents contacted them to complain. called a reporter that had spent a lot of time researching the issue for his story and he went to some parents to try and figure out why their kids weren’t vaccinated. Some didn’t speak English as a primary language, and many were kids of working parents struggling just to get by day to day who complained their kids were vaccinated but there were paperwork mess ups by the school. In other words, these weren’t activist trying to make a statement – these were parents caught in the crosshairs of some other agenda because of yet another vaccine mandate. Below is an account from Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC who went straight to the frontlines on Saturday – the courthouse in MD – where parents had to have their kids vaccinated “or else” on Saturday. She gives a powerful image of police with dogs bullying parents who were there to witness and were not allowed into the courthouse to view the proceedings. Also posted below are some links to some YouTube Videos of parent activists who went to go watch and try to help but were denied access. Again, what could possibly be behind this? There are several factors that could be at play, but the primary suspicion that stands out in my mind is money. So I called the communications department of the Prince ’s County School District to ask them specifically some questions about the amount of money the school district gets paid per child per day. They have not returned my call to answer the questions. Thankfully, the National Center for Education Statistics has some great information about Prince ’s County Public Schools online available to the public to anyone with an internet connection! (http://nces.ed.gov/) According to this government website, in the 2006-2007 school year, Prince ’s County Public Schools received $11,325 per student per year!!! That is more than I pay for my kid’s private school tuition! The breakdown was 7% from federal money or $780, 46% from the state at $5246, and 47% from local revenue at $5298. Assuming a typical 180 day school year, that comes out to $63 per child per day of school attended. Why is this important information? If the Washington Post article that we sent out yesterday had the numbers correct when they said that 2300 kids are being barred from school, all of a sudden $63 per student per day turns into a astronomical loss of $144,900 PER DAY for the school district. That would light a fire under anyone’s backside to stop that hemorrhaging of loss of income, but it does not justify the way these families are being treated. The take home message we’d like to send to the zealots in land is please don’t patronize parents and tell them this about health, and whatever you do, don’t bully and scare them. Tell them the truth. Tell them you are desperate for the money in order to educate their kids, and in order for the money and educatioon to happen, the kids have to be in school and have their paperwork in order. Let them know about their rights to the limited exemptions available. Warn them about the real risks of the vaccines. Give them the choice they have granted by law. Let them know the chicken pox vaccine does not even work right anyway. Check out this article about a school in Round Rock Texas where in spite of kids all being vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine, over 40 kids are out of the school with the chicken pox. http://www.keyetv.com/content/news/topnews/story.aspx?content_id=d00b9506-c3bb-4\ 3da-b25a-7a9971989969. Tell them that if they don’t want to have to deal with this year after year they need to contact their elected officials to stop every vaccine from coming out being tied to their child's ability to receive an education. When Governor Rick tried to force all 6th grade girls in Texas to be vaccinated with the vaccine for the sexually transmitted virus HPV, thankfully the legislature knew better and effectively vacated his executive order saving the families in Texas the ill-effects of that mandate. Coming down the pipe are vaccines for everything from obesity, smoking, and drug addiction to vaccines for more sexually transmitted diseases like HIV for example. If they have to use police with dogs and the threat of jail time to get parents to get their kids vaccinated for chicken pox, what do you think they will feel they need to do to get every child shot up with an HIV vaccine? Read on and stay tuned…Conflicts of interest coming up soon… What can you do in the meantime? Start off by making a vow to yourself to take an active roll in making sure that people who support forced vaccination and trampling on parental rights don’t get elected. Just a reminder that Glenn Ivey was elected into office in land. If you aren't already on it, get on our email list at http://www.vaccineinfo.net, get on NVIC’s e-newsletter at http://www.nvic.org, and go to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s website at http://www.nmaseminars.com/ and join the Coalition Against Mandatory Vaccination so together we can all be educated about these issues and work together to stop the insanity. Sincerely, Dawn , PROVE YouTube Videos by parent activists at the courthouse on Saturday ----------------------------------------- From Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC: http://www.nvic.org Police with Dogs: Vaccinating Kids in land by Barbara Loe Fisher " In Germany, they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. " - Niemueller I watched them bundled up against the cold winter air on Saturday, November 17, 2007, with their children and the letter from the State of land threatening them with imprisonment or fines of $50 a day for failing to show proof their children had gotten a chickenpox or hepatitis B shot. Confused, angry or scared but mostly resigned, they were working mothers and fathers trudging toward the courthouse to face the Judge ordering them to get vaccinated or go to jail. Patrolling the scene was a SWAT team of policemen with dogs. There were a few vaccine safety and informed consent advocates who showed up to witness what happened at the Prince 's County Courthouse, among them Washington D.C. Attorney Jim Moody and autism activist Kelli Ann , of SAFEMINDS and Frohman, representing the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) http://www.aapsonline.org/press/nr-11-16- 07.php as well as several Moms with children who developed autism after vaccination. The U.S. media turned out but they were kept behind barricades and denied access into the building, as were the advocates and other members of the general public. There was no public oversight on what was happening to the parents and children inside. I listened to or spoke with several mothers leaving the building with their children and learned the sad truth about what was happening behind the closely guarded, closed doors of the Courthouse. The parents were not being asked questions about their child's medical history or whether the children had experienced health problems after previous vaccinations. The parents were not being given information about vaccine side effects or how to monitor their children for signs of vaccine reactions. They were not given forms for religious and medical exemptions to vaccination allowed in land (see the video of my debate on CNN the day before with Vanderbilt's Bill Schaffner, M.D. plus a video of a Saturday CNN interview with Jim Moody http://www.cnn.com/20 07/US/11/17/maryland.vaccines/index.html#cnnSTCTe xt) Apparently, the children were being re-vaccinated with not just hepatitis B and chicken pox vaccines, the two new vaccines added to the land school requirement list, but also with other required vaccines for which the public school system could find no record. One mother told me her children were up- to-date on their shots but the school system lost the records and she had to give her children all the required vaccines on the spot or face jail or fines. My son, who became learning disabled after suffering a serious reaction to a fourth DPT shot in 1980, traveled with me to land carrying a camera. After growing up watching his Mom work to change one-size-fits-all vaccine policies that were responsible for his vaccine reaction, recently decided he wants to help NVIC put a face on what it means to be vaccine injured in America and what it means when Americans do not have the right to freely exercise informed consent to vaccination. set up his camera as I talked with a mother hundreds of yards from the front of the Courthouse door. I was about 12 inches inside a row of large cement balls that apparently were erected as a barrier to prevent terrorist attacks. I did not know I wasn't supposed to be talking with this Mom inside the barrier. She was telling me about how she wasn't given any information about vaccines before her children were injected with three vaccines. All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye I saw an armed guard with a dog emerge from the Courthouse and walk toward us. I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was the dread that any citizen of any country in any century has ever felt when an armed guard with a dog starts advancing. As if we were common criminals or terrorists, he yelled and gestured to us to move behind the stones. We moved without a word. And the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach told me we were being shown the power of the State wielded by that armed guard with the dog, just as parents inside the Courthouse were being shown the power of the State wielded by doctors with syringes. There has been talk this past week about whether or not U.S. vaccine laws are, indeed, laws or whether they are simply recommendations that do not have the force of law behind them. Because the enactment of public health laws was not defined in the U.S. Constitution as a federal activity, in 1905 the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the power of the states to pass public health laws requiring citizens to be vaccinated or re-vaccinated. http://biotech.law.lsu.edu/c ases/vaccines/son_v_Massachusetts.htm There is now more than 100 years of case law reinforcing the U.S. Supreme Court decision and the right of states to exercise police power to enforce vaccine laws. The post-911 enactment of the Homeland Security Law, the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act and Bioshield I and II makes it clear that the State will use police power to enforce quarantine or vaccination whenever the State chooses to wield that power. http://www.nvic.org/2005_11- 15_NVIC_Sen%20Burr_BioShield% 202_v7.pdf The method of punishment for not obeying U.S. state vaccine laws is up to the state legislatures which make the laws. Today, many state legislatures have turned over vaccine law-making to unelected government health and education officials, who may enlist state attorneys and judges in the court system to enforce punishments. One of the punishments which many states have chosen when children have not received all state mandated vaccines is to bar children from attending school unless they file and the State approves exemptions to vaccination outlined by the State. The National Vaccine Information Center receives calls and emails every week from parents who are being harrassed by government officials about filing a religious exemption to vaccination or cannot find a doctor to write a medical exemption. land has a very strictly worded religious exemption that requires the parent to be opposed to all vaccines in order to obtain it. Those parents, who do not vaccinate their children and do not either make arrangements with the State to homeschool them or successfully file a state-approved exemption, are in violation of another state law: truancy laws. Failure to send your child to school in land between the ages of 5 and 16 is a misdemeanor punishable by fines and jail time or both. This is the law which the land government officials moved to enforce when they enlisted the help of State's Attorney Glenn Ivey (D) and Judge C. Philip Nichols to turn parents of unvaccinated children into criminals. In one news report, Judge Nichols was quoted as observing that the children looked unhappy waiting in line for their vaccinations. He is quoted as saying " It's cute. It looks like their parents are dragging them to church. " The big difference between being dragged into a Courthouse to get vaccinated and being dragged to church is that an hour of prayer rarely results in catastrophic brain injury or death. I still wonder how many of those children, who were injected with multiple vaccines in the Courthouse, are having vaccine reactions today. Their parents, many of whom are uninformed about how to recognize vaccine reactions, will never know what happened to their children if they regress into chronic poor health after the shots they were forced to get on Saturday. We know that attacks on the religious and philosophical exemptions to vaccination in America are on the increase and are being led by vaccine patent holders like Offit, M.D. and others who want to force vaccination. http://vaccineawakening.blogspot.com/search? q=attacks+on+vaccine+exemptions. In 1996, a sixteen year old Milwaukee boy was handcuffed, stripped and jailed overnight because he hadn't shown public school or county health authorities proof that he had gotten a second MMR shot. In 1997, I made a presentation to the National Vaccine Advisory Committee defending the moral right to exercise a conscientious belief exemption to vaccination and predicting what would happen if Americans did not win that freedom. http://www.nvic.org/Loe_Fisher/blfstmt050297.htm What happened in land this weekend is a final wake-up call for America. Dozens of new vaccines are being rushed to market in the next decade and most will target children and adults for mandated use. Limiting the power of the State to force vaccination is all that stands between the people and tyranny. There is only one way we will be free in the future: the laws must be changed so that every state allows a conscientious belief exemption to vaccination. Parents in Texas, after working with Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education (PROVE) to educate the Texas legislature about the need for a conscientious belief exemption, got that exemption added in 2003 (www.vaccineinfo.net ). NVIC provided information and strategic support for PROVE's seven year effort to secure strong informed consent and privacy protections in Texas vaccine laws but it was Dawn , Rex and the people of Texas who got the job done. If you want to work to educate your community and elected officials about vaccination and informed consent rights, contact the National Vaccine Information Center at NVICinfo@....

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 my understanding is that there is an opt out form available in maryland just as there was to be for the hpv that perry wanted available in texas.
