OPPOSITION TO FORCED VACCINATION GROWS - Other threats still looming...

GRASSROOTS RESPONSES CONTINUE

1. AAPS BACKS FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has condemned the Maryland compulsory mass vaccinations of November 17, 2007.*

An AAPS media release states, “'This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights,' said Kathryn Serkes, director of policy for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), one of the few national physician groups that refuse corporate funding from pharmaceutical companies...

“'This campaign of intimidation to brutally enforce blanket vaccine mandates by government agencies and the school district gives no consideration for the rights of the parents or the individual medical condition of the child,' said Serkes...

"Children should be carefully screened, medical records taken and decisions made carefully – not in an ad hoc assembly-line clinic in a county courtroom and under the brutal watch of law enforcement. This is a man-made disaster ready to waiting to detonate. Children could receive a dangerous cocktail of several vaccines without proper examinations. 'The procedure is reckless and subjects children to the risk of severe reactions. Physicians would not be allowed to treat children in this way, without individual histories and physical exams – or informed consent,' said Jane M. Orient, M.D., AAPS Executive Director."

Demand that your national and state legislators act now to protect you and your family!

2. TIBURON DECLARATION GAINS MORE SIGNATORIES

In another development in the growing story of grassroots / netroots reaction to the forced drugging threat, several hundred NGO civil society groupings and individuals have signed on to the Tiburon Declaration against compulsory vaccination. Natural Solutions Foundation will be posting the signatories on its Tiburon Declaration web page at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=460

3. LIBERTY COALITION

At its regular meeting on Capitol Hill earlier today, the Liberty Coalition added compulsory vaccination to the issues it is monitoring. This organization, linking dozens of netroots / grassroots advocate groups, has become a strong voice for freedom in Washington. Its member groups are now expected to focus attention on health freedom along with the other freedom issues the group supports. http://www.libertycoalition.net/

4. FROHMAN REPORTS - Common Interest Blog

"Laws need to be changed to support Complementary and Alternative Modalities (CAM). Ohio is passing a health freedom bill as long as practioners avoid prohibited activities. Wisconsin, on the other hand, has passed a Rule prohibiting nutritional sales by chiropractors. Tennessee has the worst law in the nation, allowing secret medical board meeting and decisions. Only 5 states have health freedom, and no states protect doctors/practitioners. A federal fix would be only as good as the environment in the state..."

So there we have it; continued attacks on health and freedom are generating increased responses from advocates and citizens. Will these issues be addressed in the presidential election -- by any candidate other than Dr. Paul? We shall see.

Original Posting:

A group of Health and Freedom advocates met over Thanksgiving Weekend in emergency strategic session, at Tiburon, California and by electronic means; see my blog of November 24, 2007.

It was clear to those present that the most pressing public issue at this moment is the use of the police power to restrict and control people's health choices. This was tragically demonstrated on November 17 at the Prince George's County Courthouse when 1600 parents were threatened with jail and fines if they failed to vaccinate, or in some cases, re-vaccinate, their children when either the school had lost their records or the parents did not (or chose not to) have them vaccinated. The sad spectacle of children inoculated at the point of a gun was observed by our legislative consultant who also reported on this miscarriage of the rule of law. The spectacle of police with weapons and dogs prepares us, perhaps, for further such outrages on an even greater scale, in the event of an alleged biological weapon or supposed pandemic incident.

We reviewed the Declaration of Helsinki forbidding involuntary medical experimentation and treatment - http://www.wma.net/e/policy/b3.htm and considered the recently adopted laws mandating psychiatric testing and drugging of children and laws mandating mass vaccination, we issued the following statement:

Tiburon Statement
Convening for Health Freedom of Choice
Protecting our Children from Forced Vaccination

Health and Freedom leaders and advocates, meeting in an emergency strategic session at Tiburon, California and electronically, declare -

We collectively call upon Congress and State Legislatures to take immediate steps to restore and guarantee freedom of choice in vaccination and health care and to protect our children and us against forced treatments.

The moral imperative embodied in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki forbids involuntary medical treatment or experimentation in the absence of fully informed, voluntary consent.

We have a right to legal protection against mandatory inoculations of our children, such as those which occurred on November 17, 2007 in Prince George’s County Court House, enforced by police.

Taxpayers have paid nearly $2 billion to compensate families for the death or disability of their children due to vaccination.

We, the undersigned, call upon the Congress of the United States and legislators of each State to adopt the strongest possible legal protections to ensure health care freedom of choice, including the universal right to vaccination exemptions.

Issued Thanksgiving Weekend, November 25, 2007
