Sen Harkin says "DSHEA governs, not Codex"

Earlier today the US Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee, chaired by Senator Tom Harkin met to "mark-up" the (sic) "Food Safety" bill, S.510. While offering lip service to public concerns about protecting family farms and organics, the Chairman made some interesting comments about Codex and DSHEA:

Link to the 11/18/09 HELP Committee “mark-up meeting” –
http://help.senate.gov/Hearings/2009_11_18_E/2009_11_18_E.html

HELP Chairman Sen. Tom Harkin confirmed (about minute 58.5) that Codex Alimentarius (the so-called World Food Code) does not trump the Dietary Supplement Health and Safety Education Act of 1994 (the law that allows the USA to have the most potent nutrients and most vibrant nutrient market in the world) “DSHEA … governs the law here, not Codex standards…”

Chairmen Harkin further stated: the provision in bill that requires FDA to “make recommendations including whether and how to harmonize with Codex does not signal any intent to move in a different direction on DSHEA…”

We are waiting to read the “marked-up bill” to find out if it will in fact protect family farms and organic agriculture. The version of the bill that I reviewed had weaker protections than even the House-passed version.

Only time will tell the value of the Senator’s soothing words about DSHEA.

Round Two - Stop the Shot Federal Case

On October 9, 2009, Dr Gary Null, PhD, Dr. Rima E. Laibow MD and others, including the Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, filed a challenge to the FDA's approval of the H1N1 "Swine Flu" vaccines, based on the NY State health care workers' flu vaccine mandate.

Then the State quickly made our case moot by suspending the mandate! After the Federal Court Judge in Washington DC told us to come back again with new plaintiffs [fn #1] we went to the only other State that appears to have a state-wide flu vaccine mandate, which requires all toddlers (aged 6 months to 5 years) to have an annual flu vaccine.

We reached out to our Health Freedom Action eAlert "Mouse Warriors" and thirteen families volunteered to join Dr. Laibow, Dr. Null and the Foundations. So I thought I'd share some of the comments these good folks made when they told us they were in...

We object the mandatory use of vaccines which we consider harmful to our child’s health. This is just a handout to big Pharma at the expense of our health. Use of squaline and mercury is unacceptable as well as the adverse reactions the vaccines will most assuredly cause.

I object to being forced to give my child flu vaccines. My child's body is growing and I will not consciously put anything in that small body that is a know toxin. I do not want injected in my child - Formaldehyde, Aluminum, and Mercury. There is no guarantee for the flu vaccine's safety and efficacy and they are uninsurable. I believe there are safe, natural, non-toxic alternatives to keeping my child healthy or help the body heal.

We find these vaccines to be dangerous, especially the H1N1 vaccine; they are not tested and they cannot cover the full spectrum of viruses available anyway. We prefer to give the right nutrition to our children and their immune system will know how to handle any sort of viral infections. We are very concerned with this limitation of choices by making the vaccines mandatory.

I object to further vaccinating my son with any vaccines. The ingredients in vaccines are dangerous and among them are known neurotoxins. Mercury has NOT been removed - and where it has been removed or reduced, aluminum has been added, which is just as dangerous. Vaccines have not been adequately tested by unbiased sources. There has never been a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study. Many of the ingredients in each vaccine have never been studied. I feel that our children's immune systems need to develop and acquire immunity naturally. NJ has not taken our children's health and the rising % of autism into account as they carelessly continue to add vaccines to the schedule.

I object to the annual flu vaccine for a variety of reasons. The vaccine should always remain the chose of the parents. The ingredients in the vaccines are unacceptable to us. We feel our children being healthy with strong immune systems are far better that injecting a poorly studied vaccine.

Based on research we do not believe that immunizations offer the protection that they tout, but rather put our child's health at great risk because of the ingredients, additives and preservatives included in the vaccines. We have found no research to show that a vaccinated population fares any better than an unvaccinated population, and in many cases fares worse. We choose to eat natural, organic foods and monitor our and our child's health carefully in consultation with our physicians.

First, I believe that all parents should be entitled to make informed choices about the health of their children - including what, if anything, is injected into their veins -- and am appalled that the State of NJ would even consider (to be the only state in the union) to mandate such a vaccine for such young children - not giving parents the right to choose. Secondly, I do not believe the flu shot to be effective. It is usually formulated at least 18 months before the flu season based on an educated 'guess' about which strain will be active that year, so often it is not the same strain. Thirdly, most flu vaccines are still preserved with mercury-based Thimerosol which I do not believe should be injected into anyone's veins or even come in contact with.

And finally, this note from Dr. Laibow:

"Isn't it curious that NJ has both the nation's highest autism rate and the most mandated childhood vaccines? Any health care researcher, scientist or physician who isn't beholden to the government or the drug companies (or the universities that rely on them for funding) finds this very suggestive of a causal relationship."

Federal Court Tells Us to Come Back Later....

Video Report from the "Stop the Shot" Lawyers -

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxdAdyptvJk

I was in Washington 11/05/09 for the Federal court hearing on standing for the Stop the Shot case, along with Dr. Paul G. King, Leslie Fourton, Esq. (Dr. Gary Null's lawyer) and Jim Turner, Esq. (Foundation for Health Choice attorney).

Judge Reggie Walton did not allow the case to remain in the Federal court at this time. He said that once NY suspended the mandate there was no longer a "case or controversy" under the Federal constitution.

He urged us to participate in the administrative process started by NY to make the mandates permanent and told us we could come back to court if new mandates are enacted.

Further, he did not let us amend the complaint to include the NJ plaintiffs (NJ remains the only state with a flu vaccine mandate, for children under 5) and told us to re-file those claims as a separate case. We are working on that right now... "Round Two" coming up!

We are looking for NJ parents of kids under 5 who are willing to become plaintiffs in the case. Please contact me at ralph.fucetola@usa.net with "NJ Parent" in subject line if you can help.

Here is also an action item NJ parents can use to communicate their willingness to join the case as plaintiffs:

Push Back Works: No "Swine Flu" Pandemic

Natural Solutions Foundation
The Voice of Global Health Freedom™
www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org

Update: Celebrate with a Money Bomb!
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3686

PUSH BACK WORKS!

Secretary of HHS Sebelius, one of the defendants in our "Stop the Shot" Federal litigation, was on cable news this morning, announcing that "the sky is falling down" so-called "Swine Flu" pandemic is peaking this week, and the rushed-to-market, un-safety tested, uninsurable vaccines will not be widely available in time to "prevent" the pandemic.

What pandemic? Nothing happening here, folks. Even counting all respiratory illness as "Swine Flu" still doesn't make a pandemic!

So the $6.4 billion tax dollars (see: http://www.reuters.com/article/Washington09/idUSTRE59I5IR20091019) including $484 million for the dangerous toxic "oil and water" adjuvant (squalene) has gotten us exactly... nothing!

The government has purchased the drug companies' entire stock of "Swine Flu" vaccines, a great bail-out for Big Pharma, and the public gets nothing in return. It could have been worse. Without your Push Back, the media-created pandemic could have caused real panic, mass forced vaccination and martial law.

None of that is going to happen now... but, don't worry, they'll be back with a "new generation" of DNA based immune-system poisons and the fight over who will control your health choices will continue!

This abrupt reversal is, we believe, a direct result of our law suit and of our raised voices speaking forceful truth to power: NO Forced Vaccinations. NO Medical Fascism. NO untested vaccines!

Our law suite forced the FDA into a corner where this pandemic cancellation was their only possible maneuver. We will pursue this law suit with vigor because we can use it to challenge the entire vaccine approval process.

Last night we learned that FDA was purchasing an UNAPPROVED vaccine made by GSK, which is adjuvanted with squalene. This drug is not, according to the FDA's own site, an approved vaccine. Ths must stop. Our law suit will go forward to stop this illegal madness. We need your continued support for the law suit and for the net roots power that we have generated - and must keep generating.

We will continue to pursue our Stop the Shot litigation since this case gives us the opportunity to challenge all of the dangerous myths about vaccination. We do need your help to continue the case; we need to raise funds: for lawyers, to bring our experts to Washington for the hearing we expect to have in a few weeks; to continue fighting the good fight.

We ARE the Voice of Health Freedom (TM) and you are our greatest ally and asset. Now, take this message of triumph and help us turn it into not just a temporary victory, but a permanant one.

Of course this reprieve does not stop the other issues that we face, like the current administration's drive (just like the last administration; don't matter which party's in power) to force "HARMonization" of our health choice freedoms with international restrictions. Or like the GMO issue (congratulations to Greenpeace for protesting GMO corn in Mexico this week).

We urge everyone to continue to use our Action Items to send clear messages to decision makers! That's how Push Back works!

Legal Actions to Stop the Shot

10.15.09 Update - Motion for Injunction filed in Null, Laibow et al v FDA Federal Case: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3657

10.09.09 Update - Challenge to FDA "Swine Flu" 2009-H1N1-A Vaccine Licenses filed in US District Court in Washington, DC [Docket: 1:09-cv-01924]. Gary Null PhD and Rima Laibow MD lead NY healthcare workers alleging harm from Federal government unlawful vaccine approvals, as a result of New York State's first-in-the-nation flu vaccine mandate. See: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3617 Further, the State-level challenge to the NY regulation has an injunction hearing scheduled for October 14th. See: http://wcbstv.com/topstories/mandatory.h1n1.vaccine.2.1240506.html

----------------

Americans are not going to take it any more. Most healthcare workers, including doctors, refuse to take voluntary vaccines.

I've spent some time on the phone with both Tim Vawter (pro se plaintiff in New Jersey) and Carmen Reynolds (the retired Air Force officer, pro se plaintiff challenging Florida's draconian forced treatment law) privately discussing the legal requirements for injunctive relief. As one trained in the law, I applaud the efforts of pro-se litigants to assert their rights in court. [In the past couple days, Plaintiff Vawter's injunction application was denied and Col. Reynolds' action survived its first court appearance.]

On behalf of Natural Solutions Foundation, I'm also actively communicating with a group of patriot lawyers around the country seeking ways to help people pursue legal actions to Stop the Shot.

Several strong actions are being planned in NY state on behalf of the healthcare workers by lawyers who represent vaccine injured people and people seeking to assert vaccination exemptions. Another group is about to file on the federal level. I can't reveal all the details, since we want to maintain something of the element of surprise in these cases..... so stay tuned.

Let us just say that even though the Federal Appeals Court in DC decided last Tuesday that the soldier-plaintiffs from the 2003 forced anthrax vaccine cases do not have "standing" to complain about the squalene contaminated anthrax vaccine, we believe we will be able to get the attention of the courts in the civilian cases being filed.

And what if the courts determine that no one is allowed redress from these dangerous, uninsurable drugs? Where is our redress then? As I said, stay tuned.

One more thing while I ramble:

"The World Health Organization, the UN agency (ir-) responsible for declaring a Phase 6 “PANDEMIC” global alert over what it calls H1N1 Influenza A or Swine Flu, whose chief Dr Margaret Chan has repeatedly warned that while Swine Flu to date had been rather mild, that the emergency declaration was necessary because it “could mutate” aggressively into a deadly pandemic killing millions, now admits well into the flu season in the Northern Hemisphere that H1N1 has apparently not mutated."

http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=13803

So New York's "emergency" flu vaccine mandates are based on no emergency; the HHS's April 25th declaration of "emergency" with its language exculpating all government officials from the harm that may occur is based on no emergency; the imminent Emergency Use Authorization that will permit the use of "adjuvants" (immune system toxins) that have never been permitted in drugs in the United States, because the government's own scientists will not sign off on them, will be based on no emergency.

September 29, 2009: Rally in Albany to Support Healthcare Workers against Mandatory Vaccines

HEALTHCARE WORKERS TO RALLY FOR NO FORCED VACCINATIONS

New York healthcare workers and health freedom civil rights advocates are planning a rally at the State Capitol in Albany NY on Tuesday, September 29th to protest the new regulations mandating that all healthcare workers with patient contact receive all CDC "recommended" flu vaccines... including the just licensed, un-safety tested "Swine Flu" 2009-H1N1-A.

If you are a New Yorker, please go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NY-Vaccine-Strategy-Forum/

Dr. Gary Null and others have a meeting scheduled with the State Department of Health for 10:30 AM that day, so we need mass public support... and the word is that large numbers of healthcare workers and their supporters will be there!

The Department asked us to let them know what we wanted to discuss. This is what I wrote to them:

Gentlepeople,

I understand that the State Department of Health would like to know the concerns of the delegation scheduled to meet the Deputy Secretary of Health next Tuesday.

I've spoken with the healthcare workers and health freedom advocates involved and believe I can provide an initial expression of those concerns. I am writing as a trustee of one of the involved groups, the Natural Solutions Foundation, and exempt non-governmental organization (NGO). The medical adviser and trustee of the Foundation is a New York licensed physician who would be mandated to receive the vaccines if she were to see patients in a New York hospital. Another doctor, who will be at the Tuesday meeting, is a licensed dietitian and nutritionist in New York, subject to the same risks. Our primary concern is that the regulations mandating the flu vaccines do not comport with medical ethics or fundamental principles of law and justice.

The practice in NY has always been that the annual flu vaccine is voluntary. To change a long-standing practice upon which people rely by regulation, rather than direct legislation, is suspect at best. When the change puts people at known risk for serious adverse reactions, the government bears a serious burden that seems to be ignored here. We decry the lack of transparency and public hearings.

We are particularly concerned that the exemption section is insufficient to protect significant civil rights. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious beliefs. The regulations fail to address this and we want the Department of Health to make it clear that the religious exemption is not being abrogated.

By "religious" we mean to include all sincerely held conscientious objections to vaccination that hold in an individual's belief system the same place that specific church teachings may hold in the beliefs of a member of such church. Discriminating against people based on non-church conscientious objections has never been permitted by the courts.

Additionally by providing that the mandate shall apply to all flu vaccines "recommended" by the CDC, the un-safety tested "Swine Flu" vaccines that were licensed by the FDA last week will also be mandatory. This regulatory provision surrenders the state's obligations to a federal agency and is beyond the authority of the Department.

Our message we would like the Deputy Secretary to take to the Governor is that the public outcry against this mandate is such that the Governor needs to rethink his position and needs to meet with and accommodate the sincerely held objections of the healthcare workers.

In 1905 the Supreme Court, prior to the era of Federal preemption of vaccine licensing and recommending, deferred to the states in decisions about vaccine mandates. This was the case of Jacobson v. Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905).

But that court clearly understood that there was a point beyond which no government could go in exercising the police power to mandate vaccinations. It held:

"We are not to be understood as holding that the … judiciary would not be competent to interfere and protect the health and life of the individual … "All laws," this court has said, "should receive a sensible construction. General terms should be so limited in their application as not to lead to injustice, oppression or absurd consequence. … we are not inclined to hold that the statute establishes the absolute rule that an adult must be vaccinated if it be apparent or can be shown with reasonable certainty that he is not at the time a fit subject of vaccination or that vaccination, by reason of his then condition, would seriously impair his health or probably cause his death."

FDA licensed the "Swine Flu" vaccine today

HHS Secretary Sebelius appeared today before House Energy and Commerce Committee where she announced that the so-called "Swine Flu" was licensed today. No mention was made whether an Emergency Use Authorization under the Project Bioshield Act of 2005 was involved. She told Congress that www.flu.gov will full details.

Rep deGette asked about adjuvants and the Secretary said "no adjuvants are currently anticipated" to which she added, "the scientists don't want to head down that path."*

[By the way, the quotes and notes are from our Eyes in DC, Maury Silverman. Maury attends hours of government hearings and plies the Halls of Congress for health and freedom.]

According to his notes, Sebelius said, "5 facilities are currently to be licensed" and "FDA has approved vaccine applications." This announcement was made about 2 PM today.

Secretary Sebelius also opined, "The influenza is going to be unpredictable..."

Rep Markey of Massachusetts questioned "Swine Flu" vaccines safety compared to the 1976 "Swine Flu" vaccine. Sebelius said the government gathered the experts from 1976 to consult and is not concerned about safety questions.

[Note: the position of the Secretary is consistent with comments by FDA figures, for example:

“Norman Baylor, PhD, director of FDA's Office of Vaccines Research and Review, explained the FDA's probable decision to go ahead with the simplified approval process, rather than a lengthy new drug application process. "We have decades of experience with H1N1, that's why we feel we can do this with a strain-change," said Dr. Baylor.” http://www.medpagetoday.com/ProductAlert/DevicesandVaccines/15230

The only time the government previously approved a "Swine Flu" vaccination was during the 1976 fiasco, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands maimed for life, all for a pandemic that never happened. That's the government's experience that gives rise to their claim not to need comprehensive safety testing.]

Contnuing, the HHS Secretary outlined a central distribution system of the vaccines from the 5 approved facilities to 90,000 predetermined sites. The distibution system will be run by a single contractor. The Agency has allocated $1.44 billion allocated to the States to operate the vaccine program. She further claimed there will be enough vaccine to all who "need it" and people should consult their physicians.

This vaccine has the dubious distinction of being approved for what the government has claimed was a "novel" flu virus under a "change of strain" review that is never used for novel diseases. Thus the FDA has violated the requirement of Title 21 of the US Code that new drugs must be show, with significant scientific agreement, to be both safe and effective, with the benefits outweighing the risks. Without comprehensive safety testing, how can that standard be met?

See the Citizens Petition which sought to stop approval of the vaccines and which will now form the basis of a Court appeal to reverse their licensing.

* Note: While we don’t particularly trust the Secretary’s intent to avoid adjuvants and know that the US purchased nearly a half billion dollars worth of squalene, according to an HHS press release of July 13, 2009, we do agree, this time, with their scientists! Push Back Works!

Funding the “Stop the Shot” TRO

Natural Solutions Foundation

Funding the “Stop the Shot” TRO

As we’ve announced elsewhere — http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=3429 — FDA accepted our Citizens Petition to stay any approval of the “Swine Flu” H1N1 vaccine, but then rejected it as an “emergency” — so we are preparing to go to Federal Court for the redress of grievances we cannot get from the Agency.

I’ve just responded to an email I received criticizing the efforts of various pro-se people to go to court to try to stop any threatened forced vaccinations. I’d thought I’d share that response with you all, asking you to join our Natural Solutions “Going to the Sixes” law suit funding campaign… more about that later…

——————

Dear D…

Thank you for your comments. I think that T… and others who are pursuing legal remedies are to be congratulated for their efforts. “Push-back” works! Just a couple days ago CNN announced that the federal authorities were scaling back their vaccine purchases due to growing public opposition* to the “Swine Flu” vaccine — and the President announced that all vaccines will be voluntary. We don’t believe that, and cite the bill pending in Massachusetts that would criminalize vaccine resistance.

However, we’ve been taking another tack on the issue of stopping the uninsurable, untested, unproven “Swine Flu” vaccine. Led by Gary Null PhD, Dr. Koren and Dr Laibow, we filed a Citizens Petition under 21 CFR 10.30 and 35 seeking an emergency stay from FDA of the vaccine approval process. After review by FDA’s chief counsel, the agency finally filed the petition… and decided not to treat it as an emergency… so we’ve exhausted our administrative remedies and are getting ready to go to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in DC for a TRO against approval of the vaccine. [TRO = Temporary Restraining Order; the first step in getting a permanent Injunction against the vaccine approval without safety testing.]

No approval; no jabs. The “mandatory” vaccination issue doesn’t even come up.

We’ve prepared a 22 document package for our DC lawyers to bring to court, and it is nearly ready.

What we need to do now is raise the funds necessary to fund this case.

If you want to donate for this purpose, we’ve set up our “Taking it to the Sixes” donation program: just use our regular donation page, but end your donation with a “6″ – $16, $56, $106 etc… and we’ll put that money aside for this case.

Gary Null is raising funds for the case; Dr. Koren’s Foundation for Health Choices is doing so, and so are we, through:

http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

"Just remember to make your donation in an amount that ends in “6″ (hence, “Taking it to the Sixes”) and you’ll be supporting the case; so donate: $6 or $16 or $56 or $106 or $1,006 or $10,006 or....."

Of all the proposed legal actions against the vaccine, our action may have the best chance of success.

We’ve started correctly by “exhausting our administrative remedies” — we’ve gone to the federal authorities since their approval of the vaccine is a prerequisite for any mandates — and we’ve focused on the main issue: federal law requires that only “safe and effective” drugs (including vaccines) be approved by FDA where the “benefits” outweigh the “risks.”

However, in this matter, FDA threatens to approve the vaccines without adequate or any safety testing (current tests are dosage tests only of version of the vaccine without all the adjuvants… without the squalene adjuvant which has never been approved for use in a drug in the US). How can the FDA certify that the vaccines are “safe and effective” or that the benefits outweigh the risks without safety testing of the vaccines with all the proposed adjuvants?

In 2004 a similar issue came up with regard to the “emergency” anthrax vaccine that included unapproved squalene that was forced on the military. The Federal Judge handling that case stopped involuntary use of the untested vaccine. Over 60,000 soldiers were hospitalized for adverse reactions before it was stopped and many consider that vaccine the prime cause of Gulf War Syndrome. The 1976 “:Swine Flu” vaccine was a disaster; the squalene-contaminated anthrax vaccine was a nightmare. This madness must end here. And we need your help to make that possible.

So, we have the right procedure and strong law backing us; now all we need is continued public support to fund the case…

"Stay the Shot" Citizens Petition Received by FDA

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org
Media Release

"After holding emergency petition from doctors & health freedom groups for nearly 2 weeks, FDA today issued docket number... Petition demands no "Swine Flu" H1N1 Vaccine approval without safety testing..."

Washington, August 31, 2009 - Prominent natural health personality Gary Null PhD, joined by renowned doctors such as Rima E. Laibow MD and Tedd Koren DC, along with NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) including Natural Solutions Foundation, Foundation for Health Choice and the Institute for Health Research, submitted an emergency Citizens Petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 17, 2009. Because the public health issues are so serious, the Petition demands an immediate Stay of any government approval of the "Swine Flu" H1N1 Vaccine without safety testing.

The Petitioners further demanded strict warnings regarding the potential dangers of this uninsurable, untested and unproven vaccine which contains dangerous adjuvants such as Mercury, Aluminum and Sqaulene, a substance whose toxicity when injected is well known and which has never before been approved for use in the United States. Injected squalene, in fact, has been denied clinical tests in the US because the FDA reviewers felt that it was too toxic even for testing as part of a vaccine.

After sitting on the emergency Petition for nearly two weeks, FDA today issued a docket number, accepting the filing both under 21 CFR 10.30 (Citizen Petition) and 21 CFR 10.35 (Stay of Action). The Docket Number is FDA-2009-P-0418.

Citizens' Petitions are grounded in the First Amendment Right to Petition the government for redress of grievances. The Administrative Procedures Act and various agency regulations provide formats for Citizen Petitions and many Agency regulatory actions are initiated as a result of such petitions.

Several legal actions have been brought in Federal Court in various states by concerned citizens over the past few weeks, seeking to enjoin forced vaccinations with the untested H1N1 pandemic vaccines. Last week one federal judge denied a bid for a temporary restraining order, but giving the plaintiffs two weeks to submit further evidence of potential harm. Other pending legal actions are awaiting hearings.

These other actions, while meritorious, have serious legal flaws which the current Citizens Petition avoids, increasing its chance of success. Taking the initial step of engaging the Agency through a Citizens Petition instead of immediately seeking judicial intervention, as the Petitioners here have done, meets the requirement of Federal Law that Petitioners must "exhaust administrative remedies" before seeking relief in Court. While accepting the filing under the "Stay of Action" regulation, the FDA has indicated that it will not treat the application as an "emergency" which permits the agency to take 180 days to respond, well beyond the targeted time frame for the implementation of widespread vaccination with the untested vaccine, either through compulsory or voluntary vaccination. The Petition asks that no vaccine be approved without adequate safety testing. On July 23, 2009, FDA announced its intent to approve pandemic H1N1 vaccine in the absence of any safety testing. Current tests are for dosage response and employ vaccines which lack squalene and other adjuvants, or immune irritants such as aluminum.

Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine (US Army, Ret.), President of Natural Solutions Foundation remarked, "The FDA just does not get it! Delaying public hearings and failing to take into consideration the considerable dangers of the untested pandemic vaccine shots is simply not acceptable. This is neither an example of "transparent government", nor "change in which we can believe". The Courts will have to determine if the FDA has the authority to act in this manner."

The Citizens Petition will be posted at the government's www.Regulations.gov web site within the next few days. In the meantime, a copy has been posted at www.HealthFreedomUSA.org/?p=3314

Ralph Fucetola JD, Counsel to the Natural Solutions Foundation and primary author of the Petition amplified General Stubblebine's comments:

"For over one hundred years, since the case of Jacobson v Commonwealth, the Federal Courts have been available to challenge inappropriate FDA approval of dangerous drugs, including vaccines. We are confident that Federal judicial authority will tell the FDA that it cannot approve the vaccines without safety testing. No drug can be approved unless there is significant scientific agreement that the benefits outweigh the foreseeable risks. Without safety testing there can be no rational risk/benefit analysis.

"Remember the 1976 ‘Swine Flu' vaccine fiasco and the near unleashing of a world-wide Avian Flu pandemic earlier this year by a drug company vaccine ‘accident.' Unleashing an untested vaccine on the world is tantamount to engaging in a terrorist act that will result in just the pandemic the authorities claim they want to avoid.

"I know there are Federal Judges with the courage to stop this headlong rush to disaster. Unlike the FDA with its drug-company-employee revolving door policy, the Federal Courts are not afraid to confront failures of the Agency to adhere to the law. We will know in a few days if the Courts will ‘Stay the Shot' since, in the words of the Supreme Court in the 1905 Jacobson case, ‘...if it be apparent or can be shown with reasonable certainty that ... vaccination... would seriously impair ...health or probably cause ...death.' the Courts will act."

Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, the Natural Solutions Foundation's Medical Director emphasized the seriousness of the dangers from the H1N1 vaccines:

"Never before has squalene been approved for use in a drug in the United States. But once before, when it was allowed in certain military vaccines, more than 60,000 soldiers were hospitalized because of being injected with it in a condition widely known as "Gulf War Syndrome". A Federal Court, in 2004, forbade its involuntary use by United States troops (Doe v Rumsfeld, Civil Action No. 03-707 USDC for District of Columbia).

"This new vaccine has, literally, 1,000,000 times more squalene than that experimental military vaccine, known as "Vaccine A" had. The attempt to rush this dangerous vaccine into the bodies of the public without safety testing is a violation of US law, regulation and medial ethics and must be condemned."

The Foundation and its allies promise further action to "Stop the Shot!" They urge all concerned persons to go to the following web page to register their support for the Citizens Petition: http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org/?p=3312
