[PROVE] Money Makes the Shots Go Round in School?

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.

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@.... For more information about NVIC's 25

years of advocacy work and to learn more about preventing vaccine reactions go

service organization working to protect your freedom to choose the kind of

health care you want for yourself and your family, including the freedom to

choose which vaccines to use.

compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live

in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone

should. We cannot determine who does and who does not get the right to make

their own choices and forge their own futures. All must. "

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.
