Do Not Sign AAP or other self-incriminating Vaccine Refusal forms

Vaccination Liberation

by Ingri Cassel

March 8, 2007

Some doctors are giving patients who chose not to vaccine their children a form to sign created by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

This form varies from state to state but basically it is a total propaganda sheet about the alleged value of vaccines, the alleged "risk" of not vaccinating and even worse the parent who signs the form is falsely "admitting" that they are putting their children at risk.

HPV Vaccine

National Conference of State Legislatures

March 14, 2007

Debate is heating up about whether or not to require girls to be vaccinated against Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which causes virtually all cases of cervical cancer and genital warts.

This flurry of state activity stems from the June 2006 recommendation by the national Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that routine vaccination is recommended for girls between ages 11 and 12.

Proposal blocks funding for HPV vaccine

March 16, 2007

A Georgia member of Congress yesterday introduced legislation to prohibit federal money from being used by states to make vaccines against the human papillomavirus (HPV) mandatory for school-age children.

"Mandating the HPV vaccination is both unprecedented and unacceptable," said Rep. Phil Gingrey, a Republican, who is an obstetrician and gynecologist. "Whether or not girls get vaccinated against HPV is a decision for parents and physicians, not state governments."

HEALTH-CARE workers who refuse to be vaccinated against infectious diseases could be confined to desk jobs, under a policy recently introduced by NSW Health.

S.C. House rejects law requiring vaccination

April 20, 2007

The state House killed legislation Wednesday that would have required seventh-grade girls in South Carolina to be vaccinated against a sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

Opponents credited the unanimous vote against the bill to Rep. Kris Crawford, the legislature's only doctor, who argued that lawmakers would be weakening the authority of the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to regulate vaccines.

Antidepressants Slice and Dice Brain

Imagine a lobotomy...A saw cracking your skull, followed by a surgical knife slicing and dicing a large portion of your brain - the portion responsible for helping you cope with all the nastiness in the world.

You know, things like the exorbitant income tax which makes you work four months out of every year just to pay Uncle Sam. Or that invisible tax called inflation that ensures a lifetime of capitalistic slavery for you and your children. Or, the millions of helpless infants who are stabbed with vaccines and subsequently suffer from autism.

May 28, 2007

In June, the U.S. Federal Claims Court, will begin hearings on 4,800 claims filed by parents of children on the autism spectrum who think that the government's vaccine program caused their children's disorders.

The scientific consensus rejects the idea that thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative used in vaccines, causes autism. Still, it's conceivable that some of the claimants could win, because the vaccine court requires a lower standard of scientific evidence than regular courts.

The parents of 12-year-old Michelle Cedillo asked a federal court to find that their child's autism was caused by common childhood vaccines, a precedent-setting case that could pave the way for thousands of autistic children to receive compensation.

Special Master George Hastings Jr. thanked the family for allowing theirs to be the first of nine test cases that will help guide the resolution of some of the nearly 5,000 similar claims lodged with the government.

Autism in Court

The Washington Post

June 16, 2007

A special U.S. court hears the first case about the disorder and vaccines.

Very little is known about autism, what causes it and exactly what it means biologically or neurologically. The disorder, characterized by impaired social, emotional and communications skills, is still diagnosed by clinical observations rather than physiological tests.
