We’re at a critical juncture in the struggle to protect our health
freedoms and the fundamental human right to refuse risky and unwanted
medical treatments like vaccination. Juxtaposed against the public
awakening to vaccine dangers, are the medical cartel’s anti-choice
policies and formidable lobby powers which threaten to quash our right
to refuse vaccines for our children and ourselves. Public awakening is
gaining momentum however, as the film Vaxxed documents the
scientific fraud and corruption underpinning vaccine policies, while
giving voice to the tsunami of vaccine injured families across North America. Just two weeks ago, Canadians were stunned to learn that the Canadian
Medical Association (CMA) voted at its annual meeting for the
“elimination of non-medical exemptions from vaccination in provinces
that have legislation mandating children be vaccinated in order to
attend school” (article 32), albeit not without vigorous protest from 42 percent of the delegates
who expressed concern the move may actually “increase opposition to vaccinations and cause some parents to keep their children out of school.” What this means is that influential medical trade groups like the CMA
are calling for an end to religious and conscience based vaccine
exemptions and with it, an end to the primary medical ethic of
voluntary, informed consent – an end to the human right to refuse
unwanted medical treatment. They’re aiming for a defacto mandatory
vaccination agenda by advocating that provincial government and its
health agencies overrule our Charter protections of freedom of
conscience and religion and the legal right to “security of the
person”, thereby imposing an unconstitutional law on citizens. In the
U.S. the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP) have already adopted policies to end personal belief
exemptions and are hard at work convincing state governments to do so. These medical trade groups want to usurp parents’ right to make health
decisions for their children, to eliminate parents’ right to decide what
is best for their children. They reject that parent’s religious or
sincerely held beliefs, or even previous experience of vaccine injury
are acceptable grounds for refusing any or all vaccines. Doctors threaten our basic human rights The majority of CMA doctors have voted to deny parents the right to make
voluntary and informed vaccine decisions - whether to choose some or
all vaccines for their children, or none. No matter how well informed
or how thoroughly the parents have researched the medical literature,
often knowing more than the doctor about vaccine ingredients and the
mechanisms of vaccine injuries, the medical profession is determined to
impose its control and domination over recalcitrant parents. Most
doctors are in denial that vaccines are contributing to the epidemic of
chronic autoimmune diseases and neurological disorders now rampant in
our heavily vaccinated society, unknown a few decades ago, a man made
disaster unprecedented in history. Larry Solomon alludes to medical denial in this article about the EpiPen scandal and the unexplained allergy epidemic. He writes, “While autoimmune diseases have been soaring, the
government has done little to determine why these diseases are now
running rampant, and much to ensure no one else does either……….. Is our
immunity failing because our society has become obsessed with hygiene,
relying on Purell sanitizers to the detriment of our body’s natural
defences? Are we facing this new onslaught of disease because we’re
eating GMOs? Because we’re being over-vaccinated? Is it an overuse of
antibiotics? The emulsifiers that have become ubiquitous in our food?
Glysophate, the suspect in Monsanto’s herbicide, Roundup? Aluminum? All
of the above?” Even if a child has already been vaccine injured, parental experience of
the adverse reaction and injury is usually rejected by doctors. More
often than not, medical exemption for their vaccine injured child is
denied. In the same vein, when parents seek a medical exemption for a
younger sibling of the vaccine injured child, the exemption is also
denied. At present, parents’ only option to protect their children from
additional vaccine injury is a personal belief exemption based on
conscience or religion. Doctors want a monopoly on who determines whether a child gets a vaccine
exemption – they want to be the sole arbiters of whether a child
qualifies for a vaccine exemption. They want to cut parents out of the
vaccine decision making process completely! As doctors lobby for the abolition of parents’ sacred right to determine
what medical risks they’re willing to submit their children to, we ask,
isn’t it long past due that doctors take a serious look at some of the
‘Vaccine Papers’ that describe some of the
vaccine ingredients and biochemical pathways which lead to neurological
and immune system injuries ? Isn’t it time they pluck their heads out
of the sand, and take a good look at the medical literature that
refutes their vaccine dogma? Before the inevitable mass awakening to the damage that’s been
inflicted, it might be an idea for doctors to examine the emerging
scientific literature on
the biochemical pathways of vaccine induced injuries. And when they
do, they may find it difficult to remain loyal advocates of mandatory
vaccine polices or the vaccine paradigm itself. Vaccine Directives from the top down The World Health Organization’s (WHO) 43 page document, ‘How to respond to vocal vaccine deniers in public’ and its ‘Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy’ guideline are indicative of the fear top level policy makers have of the public’s
loss of confidence in the vaccine agenda. These top down global directives aim to stem the growing tide of vaccine
resistance. Canada’s Noni MacDonald MD, fearless leader
of the ‘ vaccines can do no harm’ crowd, is a co-author of the first WHO
document. From the CDC & WHO, the leading global vaccine
directorates, to the medical lobby groups that influence public health
policies, right down to the public health infrastructures of individual
nations, there’s loud chatter about the growing tide of “vaccine
hesitancy” and how to re-educate and restrain it. As the push for mandatory vaccination intensifies, people around the
world are waking up to the health hazards posed by vaccines.
Increasingly parents are choosing to protect their children from
injection with the complex biochemical drugs called vaccines, and are
rejecting the “ vaccines are safe and effective” mantra. Medical lobby groups violate own code of ethics & human rights treatise During the winter and spring of 2015 while thousands of Californian
parents were fighting to protect their children’s vaccine exemptions
rights, the American Medical Association (AMA) voted to end personal belief exemptions at both the state and federal
levels. Because of the political influence wielded by the AMA and other
medical lobby groups aligned with the pharmaceutical industry,
California families lost their right to personal belief vaccine exemptions.
Thousands of families now face their children being barred from school
and expensive lawsuits to regain their rights.
Emboldened by the unethical actions of its medical affiliates in the
U.S. the 80,000 member Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has now passed
two resolutions to narrow parents’ access to vaccine exemptions. Prior
to its 2015 General Council meeting last summer, the CMA announced its
intention to present a " mandatory vaccination" resolution at its annual
General Council meeting. In protest, Vaccine Choice Canada deluged the
CMA with our No Mandatory Vaccines petition. As a result, the CMA stepped back from its “mandatory vaccination”
position and instead voted for a more moderate resolution that parents present vaccination records when registering their
children in school or daycare and mandatory parent meetings with public
health officials if children were “ under vaccinated”. Now, CMA doctors are calling for a draconian shift in public health
policy that would trump personal liberties, including the right to
voluntary informed consent to medical risk taking in violation of its
own code of ethics, which states in article 24 – “Respect the right of a competent patient
to accept or reject any medical care recommended”. This latest CMA policy resolution contravenes our Charter protections
which guarantee all Canadians the right to freedom of conscience and
religion and the legal right to “ security of the person”. Additionally,
the CMA resolution violates Ontario’s provincial health Act, medical
privacy laws, and international human rights treatise like the UNESCO
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, Article 6 - Consent
which unequivocally uphold the individual’s right to reject unwanted
medical treatment: Article 6 – Consent of the UNESCO convention states that, “Any
preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to
be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person
concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where
appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at
any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.
Speaking in defense of the basic human right to voluntary informed
consent, legal scholar Professor Mary Holland reminded the United Nation’s 25th International Health and Environment
Conference that,
“Individuals, for themselves and their minor children, should have the
right to accept or refuse these preventive medical interventions based
on adequate information and without coercion, such as the threat of loss
of economic or educational benefits. Informed consent must be the
default position because compulsion, on its face, not only undermines
trust, but limits the fundamental rights to life, liberty, bodily
integrity, informed consent, privacy and to parental decision making.”
This Globe & Mail article tells us that “Canada’s doctors want legislators to get a little bit
tougher on parents who don’t vaccinate their kids”, and quotes Tommy
Gerschman, a doctor in British Columbia who says, “Its’ time to end all
non-medical exemptions for vaccination.” Gerschman erroneously states
that three Canadian provinces, Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick
“currently have laws making it mandatory for children to show proof of
vaccination before they can attend school.” For the record, none of the three provinces have “mandatory” vaccination
laws. Ontario’s Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) refers to “prescribed”
vaccines and provides for legal vaccine exemptions based on conscience
and religion as well as for medical reasons. The word ‘ mandatory’ doesn’t appear anywhere in the text of the ISPA legislation. New Brunswick’s vaccine requirements are incorporated in its Public Health Act which clearly provides for
personal belief exemptions from vaccination. See article 12(3).
“Do we have to get immunized? No, immunizations are voluntary in
Manitoba. But please remember that vaccines help protect you and your
child from disease(s) and also help protect others who cannot be
immunized because they have certain health conditions.”
Medical lobbyists’ unethical influence on lawmakers In the U.S. the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) a leading
pro-mandatory vaccination lobby group, has just published two position
papers – the first, “ Countering Vaccine Hesitancy” which advocates for the “ dismissal of families who refuse vaccination
as an acceptable option.” This is followed by a new AAP policy calling
for all states to “ eliminate non medical exemptions from immunization
requirements for school entry.” The policy entitled Medical Versus Nonmedical Immunization Exemptions for Child Care and School Attendance says “nonmedical exemptions are inappropriate for individual, public
health and ethical reasons. To protect those who cannot be vaccinated,
community or “herd” immunity requires at least 90% of the population to
be immunized (95% for highly contagious diseases such as measles and
pertussis).” An in depth critique of the new AAP policy, listing the
errors and lies it contains can be read here.
There’s no mention that outbreaks of these diseases have more to do with
vaccine failure than with vaccine hesitancy, or that vaccine acquired artificial
immunity is temporary, leaving vaccinated populations vulnerable to the
disease within a few years No mention either that fully vaccinated
people can remain asymptomatic but still carry and spread pertussis (whooping cough) to the most vulnerable at risk group, young infants. This FDA news release discusses serious failures of the acellular whooping cough (pertussis)
vaccine, “ …although individuals immunized with an acellular pertussis
vaccine may be protected from disease, they may still become infected
with the bacteria without always getting sick and are able to spread
infection to others, including young infants who are susceptible to
pertussis disease.” The AAP policy removes ambiguity about its intention which is, “to bring
changes to state laws where reform is needed,” said Anne R. Edwards,
M.D., FAAP, a lead author and a former chair of the AAP Committee on
State Government Affairs. To be clear, this policy and the one just adopted by the CMA, is a
political tool designed to exert pressure on states/provinces to
eliminate personal belief exemptions based on conscience and religion in
order to close the vaccine non-compliance gap and gives doctors the
final say whether a child qualifies for a vaccine exemption. If these
medical lobby groups succeed in influencing legislatures to adopt their
agenda, parents will be forced to submit their children to the full
brunt of the vaccine schedule or forfeit their right to publicly funded
education. Medical exemptions are almost impossible to get. Nurses and doctors speaking out
As public outrage grows against these draconian policies, concerned
medical professionals, like this pediatric nurse, are speaking out. “54% of our kids suffer from one or more chronic
illness, asthma rates have tripled in the past 30 years, obesity affects
17% of our kids, autism rates have skyrocketed, 1 in 7 school age
children receive psychoactive drugs, & the cancer rate for kids
under 13 has drastically increased. With all this & more to consider
- what the hell is the AAP THINKING? As a pediatric RN for almost 40
years I have never been more disgusted by a profession that supposedly
is the guardian of our children's health. We must connect the dots
between pesticides, GMOs, glyphosate, the overuse of antibiotics,
processed formula, food void of any nutrient value & add to that the
barbaric act of injecting our newborns with formaldehyde, aluminum,
polysorbate 80, aborted feral tissue etc - in order to get the full
picture of why our kids are so sick. If we don't wake up & mobilize
against this current act of medical tyrany ~ as a society we will be
hard pressed to find any child unencumbered by these illnesses!”.
Many more nurses in Canada and the United States are
speaking out about the vaccine injuries their children have suffered. On our Doctors Speak page and on Doctors Against Vaccine Mandates,
we hear the voices of medical practitioners who “Oppose
one-size-fits-all policies mandatory vaccination policies, oppose a
system that forces parents to make fear based decisions, supports the
freedom to refuse any medical procedure, including the right to refuse a
vaccination, and are in favour of 'true and complete informed consent'".
This means a person hears the full spectrum of pros and cons regarding a
medical option and then is given the choice to refuse this therapy. This doctor writes, “We condemn the forced sterilization of the ’20s and ’30s, the Tuskegee
medical experiments infecting black inmates and the Nazi medicine that
included involuntary 'Euthanasia,' experimentation and sterilization.
How can we force vaccination without consent? Vaccination is a medical
treatment with risks including death. It is totally antithetical to all
ethics in medicine to mandate that risk to others." Another doctor says, “I have been studying the question of vaccine toxicity since the 1980s,
when I saw three babies die of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), each
within 24 hours of being vaccinated. Obviously, not all babies being
vaccinated suffered the tragedy of SIDS, but all the SIDS cases I saw
occurred in babies who had just been vaccinated. I instinctively knew
that the vaccines were responsible, and thus began my journey to know
more about vaccines and their associated problems.” This MD discusses vaccine safety myths, “Whatever you think about vaccination, think hard before you endorse
the idea that the government should be able to mandate a profitable but
invasive medical procedure without informed consent. This is a very
dangerous precedent to set and one you may not be happy about when
vaccines are mandated for adults to protect our ‘herd immunity’. It is
not about the measles. It is about your freedom to choose what goes into
your body and your child’s body.” In this Testimony to the Vermont legislature, Suzanne Humphries MD summarizes the research which shows vaccination
is “a trauma of considerable intensity”. She says, “One look at these
summaries should alert any reader that no parent can be guaranteed their
child will be better off getting vaccinated. To force such vaccine
policies and injections onto the children of Maine in my opinion is an
egregious crime. We have no studies looking at the long-term effects of
this growing vaccination program as a whole, for cancer, neurologic
disease, autoimmune diseases and allergies and other chronic diseases
that have become epidemic in children at the same time the vaccine
programs were ramped up in the 1980s and 90s.” In her compelling testimony to the Virginia legislature Dr. Humphries says, “My position is that the public is continually
given a false sense of security about the safety and effectiveness of
vaccination.” As parents increasingly undertake their own independent research, they
can compare the quality of vaccine information offered by mainstream
monopoly medicine with the broad knowledge base and research available from those who have lived the tragedy of a vaccine injured child. They
too once trusted their doctors only to learn too late they were lied to.
It doesn’t take long to realize the glaring difference in quality of
information offered by those who have a vested interest in increasing
vaccination rates compared to those whose only motive is to help
families make well researched and intelligent decisions in alignment
with their hearts. Urgent call to action We are in a compelling struggle to protect our vaccine exemption rights
and to preserve our Constitutional right to say no to any form of
vaccine coercion. Our focus is on the situation in Ontario which hinges
on defeating Bill 198, the proposed amendment to the Immunization of
School Pupils Act that would narrow parents’ access to personal belief
vaccine exemptions. Explained in more detail in this article, if
passed, Bill 198 would force parents to submit to a mandatory “vaccine
education” session prior to being allowed to obtain a conscience or
religious based vaccine exemption. It is the bold first move towards
mandatory vaccination. Whatever happens in Ontario will impact vaccine
policies across the country. This should concern every family in
Canada. Bill 198 is an example of the power the medical lobby has to
influence a provincial government to introduce a law that contravenes
our Charter rights. At the end of the day, the issue is freedom – the freedom to protect our
children from coercive vaccination policies. If we don’t stand up
against this medical tyranny, we are lost because we have lost ownership
of ourselves and the right to protect our children from forced
medication. Please join Vaccine Choice Canada’s Take Action campaign against Ontario Bill 198
