  • Vaccine Fraud and Corruption

    Why do people believe that vaccines are somehow impervious to corruption?


    Sanofi, vaccine manufacturer, has been convicted of FRAUD in multiple countries, involving bribing government officials and health care providers.

    Merck is in court over the mumps portion of the MMR and over their HPV / Gardasil 9 vaccine. For FRAUD. Merck killed 38,000 Americans with their drug Vioxx when they covered up the fact that it causes heart attacks.

    The CDC’s own scientists have come forward stating that fraud in scientific research at the CDC is the NORM.

    And the FDA regularly buries evidence of medical fraud…

    http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/02/fda_inspections_fraud_fabrication_and_scientific_misconduct_are_hidden_from.html

    Vaccines are a $60 billion per year market. And manufacturers spend an exorbitant amount of $ on promoting their products. These manufacturers make SO MUCH $$$, on selling their toxic drugs and vaccines, that even a 3 billion-dollar fine is not enough to discourage further misconduct.

    But, they all have our best interest at heart? Do you really trust their products? 

    Do you trust them with your child’s life?

  • Deliberate Disinformation: NIAID Director lies to Congress

    NIAID Director rambles about vaccine ‘disinformation on the internet’ then proceeds to lie under oath to Congress. Who’s ready to communicate concerns and reveal the TRUTH directly with elected officials? Federal Officials Should Be Held Accountable! This needs to be corrected! 

    On Feb. 27, 2019, the U.S. House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a public hearing on “Confronting a Growing Public Health Threat: Measles Outbreaks in the U.S” that was also broadcast live on C-span.

    Parents across the nation watched and heard the renowned Anthony Fauci, MD, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID),1 either tell a bald faced lie or show his ignorance when he testified, under oath, that MMR vaccine does not cause encephalitis.

    This large dose of disinformation drew gasps of protest from parents attending the Capitol Hill hearing and prompted Committee Chair Diana DeGette (D-CO) to bang the gavel and remind the audience to remain quiet and not express approval or disapproval of testimony.

    It is really hard to watch a distinguished physician like Dr. Fauci mislead legislators by blatantly denying the damage that serious vaccine reactions like brain inflammation can do to children’s brains. It is also hard to watch legislators believe everything they are told by government employees just because they have MD or PhD written after their names. – Barbara Lowe Fisher

    Director of NIAID Gives False Testimony Under Oath to Congress Regarding MMR Vaccine

    As registered voters and citizens, it is our job to ‘maintain the government’ and help Congress learn that this is not the correct answer to the question. It is our job to tell the other side of the story because the truth is the Vaccine Package Insert from Merck, the Vaccine Information Statement from the Center for Disease Control and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, table of compensable events all say that the measles vaccine CAN cause encephalitis.

    DISINFORMATION: MMR vaccine does not cause encephalitis (brain inflammation).
    THE TRUTH: MMR vaccine can cause encephalitis and acute and chronic encephalopathy (brain dysfunction).
    Here is THE EVIDENCE:
    1. MMR Vaccine Manufacturer Package Insert

    2.CDC’s Vaccine Information Statement (VIS)
    3. Medical Literature Reports
    4. Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Vaccine Injury Table
    According to the March 21, 2017 Vaccine Injury Table in the VICP, “encephalopathy or encephalitis” occurring within 5 to 15 days of receipt of vaccines containing measles, mumps, and rubella virus or any of its components (e.g. MMR, MM, MMRV) is a compensable illness, disability or injury.
    5. Doctors Cannot Reliably Predict Who Will Be Harmed by Vaccines 
    6.$4 Billion Government Payout to Vaccine Victims

    NVIC reports that there 140 vaccine-related bills are pending in 31 states, some of which propose to restrict, eliminate or expand medical, religious and conscientious belief vaccine exemptions. Thousands of parents have already lined up to attend public hearings in state legislatures to defend the legal right to exercise parental and informed consent rights and make voluntary decisions about vaccination for their children without being punished for the decision made.

  • Tragedy When the Polio Vaccine Caused Polio

    In what became known as the Cutter Incident, some lots of the polio vaccine (made by Cutter Laboratories) were not completely inactivated. Despite passing required safety tests, the vaccine contained *live* polio virus even though it was supposed to be an inactivated virus vaccine. Cutter withdrew its vaccine from the market on April 27, 1955 after vaccine-associated polio cases were reported.

    Over 200,000 children received the inactivated polio vaccine. Of children who received it, 40,000 developed polio, 200 developed paralysis, and 10 were killed.

    Vaccinereaction.org says:

    During mid-April of 1955, about 400,000 people—mostly schoolchildren—in the U.S. were vaccinated with the Salk vaccine manufactured by Cutter Laboratories.6 It turns out that more than 200,000 of these children, living in five western and midwestern states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico7), were injected with vaccines “in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective.” The Cutter-produced vaccines ended up causing 40,000 cases of polio. It severely paralyzed 200 children and killed 10.8

    The first of these cases to be reported was that of a young girl named Susan Pierce, who had received the vaccine on April 18, 1955.7

    Five days later, she developed fever and neck stiffness. Six days later, her left arm was paralyzed. Seven days later, she was placed in an iron lung, and nine days later, she was dead.7

  • Toxicologist Mom: How I Became Anti-Vaccine.

    For several years, I was unsure. I felt caught between different sources of conflicting information that I thought to be credible. But I knew too much to believe what we were always told – that vaccines were “safe and effective”. 
    This article has been excerpted from ThinkLoveHealthy. Written by Ashley, a dedicated mother, wife and toxicologist with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California at Davis.
    I will also add that I am a scientist. Specifically, a toxicologist – someone who determines the level at which a particular substance is toxic or deadly. (Please don’t attempt to remind me that “the dose makes the poison”. This applies to substances that are not toxic at the lowest levels we can measure.) I know how to read, understand, and interpret scientific research. When it comes to vaccines, I search for proof. For solid scientific evidence. It was and still is, of utmost importance to me, to see the research, and only then, come to an informed decision. And in the end, the overwhelming amount of unbiased historical and scientific evidence – was against vaccines. 

    I do not take this issue lightly. 

    The debate about vaccines is so volatile, simply because we all CARE so much, about children, about our families. People on both sides of this debate – the majority of them are truly GOOD people. The difference between us is that you believe the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks. And after years of research and/or witnessing our children suffer vaccine injury, we do not. 

    There is passion and frustration on both sides, and we are coming from the same place with that frustration. We simply disagree on how to best protect our children. (quote from post via Facebook) 

    I chose a delayed and selective vaccine schedule for my son. I was torn between the risk of a “preventable” disease and the risk of vaccine injury. I didn’t know as much as I do now.

    The first time he received vaccines, at 4 months of age, he was somnolent for 4 hrs following the shot – awake but out of it. I was worried, because it wasn’t like him to be awake and not fully alert… but I felt some relief when he seemed to be back to himself later that day.

    A month later I went in to get him two more shots (Prevnar & Hib). 

    It was then that I found out the nurse had given him a vaccine for which I did not give consent. I was livid. At the previous appointment I had requested a DTaP-only shot. The nurse said it was available but scoffed and rolled her eyes at me for not wanting to give him the rest of them, and tried to pressure me to give him the rotavirus vaccine. 

    She ended up giving him Pediarix – DTaP, Polio, HepB in one shot – while my husband and I sat there believing she was administering DTaP.
    Pediarix contains high levels of aluminum and I had intended to avoid it.

    Three days after that second set of vaccines, my son started showing signs of having neurological damage – he developed some kind of head tic, which looking back, appears to have potentially been non-febrile seizures (no fever). I didn’t connect it to the vaccines at the time.

    I didn’t know that both Prevnar (pneumococcal) & Hib contain aluminum. I didn’t know that aluminum has been linked to tics in scientific studies. I didn’t know that aluminum reduces the concentration of magnesium in the central nervous system, which can lead to tics, nor that it destroys nerve cells in the brain – and that this was happening to my 5 month old son. But I know now.

    I was still naive, ignorant, and fearful of diseases for the next year of my son’s life. I was caught in between the risks of the diseases and the risks of the vaccines. I was concerned about whooping cough, so he received two more doses of DTaP. 

    But as he got closer to two years of age, I started getting more and more concerned about his development. He had several symptoms of being on the spectrum. Language and speech delays, gross motor delays, cognitive delays (for example, he couldn’t understand how to answer a yes or no question until after he was 2 years old), he had sensory processing issues, he refused to let anyone, even me, hug or kiss him, he would bang his head on the couch and into people, sometimes the floor…

    He would rarely look me in the eye or smile for pictures, when his younger cousin would immediately make eye contact and smile. He had a pretty vacant expression much of the time. There were many indicators, and I was honestly terrified as he grew older, that it would become more and more obvious to everyone else that he was not a neurotypical child. I don’t think anyone in my life knew how much anxiety this brought me.

    At that point I chose to stop vaccinating him altogether and I started focusing on getting him eating well. 

    …

    Then my daughter was born and my son finally started being able to speak more than two syllables at a time. I found I had the ambition to dive head first into reading anything and everything I could find on vaccines, disease, and health, so I embraced it. I was obsessive about reading scientific studies from both sides and looking into the history and statistics of disease and disease mortality. I’ve never been so consumed with anything like I was with this. It was my sole focus besides being with and caring for my children. I spent hours – every spare moment – every day – reading. I’m not exaggerating.

    … I would open my mouth to speak, and my husband would say, “Is this about vaccines?”

    It was a rough time because he could not relate to my passion for the subject and he was trying to focus on supporting our family. He didn’t really have time to hear about every new detail I was piecing together. 

    The aluminum, the mercury, the aborted fetuses, the chicken embryo cells, fetal bovine serum, casein (milk protein), monkey kidney cells (“vero cells”)… Then there was the constant flow of stories from mothers and fathers about their vaccine injured children. The stories about how their pediatricians refused to acknowledge that vaccines could have been a factor in the sudden decline of their child’s health, even though their child was perfectly healthy and happy prior to shots, and only hours after began screaming inconsolably for days – then suffered developmental delays, digestive issues, recurring ear or respiratory infections, food allergies (e.g. to casein, eggs, peanuts), etc.

    There were way too many stories of infants dying shortly after vaccines and their deaths being labeled “SIDS” by blind medical professionals who had no clue about the ingredients in vaccines, nor would they give credit to the fact that genetic mutations can make children susceptible to vaccine injury and death.

    There were so many stories of children getting a “measles -like” rash and a fever, shortly after receiving the live-virus measles/mumps/rubella vaccine… so many doctors refusing to diagnose measles, AS MEASLES, after the child was injected – with the live measles virus! Most parents don’t know that live virus vaccines can “shed”, like in the case of rotavirus or varicella (chicken pox) – or maybe they’ve been told that shedding is a myth. Yet, the MMR vaccine insert [page 5] states that live rubella virus can be swabbed from the nose of vaccinated individuals for 29 days post-vaccination. It’s been documented in the case of one vaccinated two-year-old, that it’s possible for a vaccinated person to carry and shed (and contract!) vaccine virus-associated measles five weeks after receiving the live-virus vaccine. But the one that takes the cake is the story of the man who shed the vaccine version of the polio virus for almost 30 YEARS.

    Then there are the news stories and studies of  disease outbreaks in fully-vaccinated populations… Like this outbreak of whooping cough, and this outbreak of mumps. The efficacy of most vaccines is questionable at best. Merck is even being sued for greatly exaggerating the efficacy of their MMR vaccine.

    …

    I keep learning new things each day. Still. To this day. Because I READ STUDIES – Studies that never see the light of day because the media will never report on it. And it amazes me how utterly brainwashed we have been to believe we can inject “health” – especially when these injections contain toxic levels of aluminum and mercury. It’s amazing that we think we know how to out-smart our biology, physiology, biochemistry, etc. That we think injecting pregnant women and babies with what reads like something out of a witches brew of ingredients – is NORMAL.

    There is more, so much more and Ashley’s journey and the decision making resources she used can be found at ThinkLoveHealthy.

  • To The Doctor That Injured My Child

    To The Doctor…” letter is from the mother of three children, including a vaccine injured son. You may recognize Hillary’s name from her powerful “Just a bunch of crazy mothers” soliloquy. Thank you Hillary for permission to share and for all you do to spread vaccine truth and protect other children and families from the harm and heartache that vaccines can and do cause.  

    by Hillary Simpson

    To The Doctor That Injured My Child:

    I’m sure you don’t remember me but I will never be able to forget you.

    I vividly remember your kind eyes and gentle touch, your sense of humor and calm energy. I remember the tiny toy duck that you always had with you. The one you would slather with hand sanitizer every time you walked into our room.

    I connected with you as a fellow mother and felt like you had my child’s best interest at heart. 

    I knew I had made the right decision by choosing you as our pediatrician and I felt lucky since you were in high demand at one of the nation’s top hospitals.

    I figured that I had won the Doctor Lottery and eagerly scheduled our well-baby checkups anticipating our conversation. You were always so nice.

    And then I started to question vaccines.

    I told you my worries, my concerns, the stories I had read and how something wasn’t sitting right with me. I talked to you about a delayed schedule and how I wanted to space them out. I asked you to make sure we only did the “absolutely necessary” ones.

    I listened intently as you reassured me that nothing would happen to my baby. I nodded in agreement when you told me that if I was an immigrant than I would feel differently because mothers in underdeveloped countries have seen the ravages of disease. I felt ashamed that my white privilege was suddenly so apparent and I finally agreed that at my son’s 6 month appointment he would have his second round. I walked out of your office feeling safer and more confident that I was making the right decision to vaccinate my child. 

    You handed me a neon colored VIS on the way out and assured me that in your 20 years of practicing medicine, you had never seen a single serious vaccine reaction.

    And then his 6 month appointment came. He received the DTap, the rotavirus and the HIB.

    I have never told you this outright so I will say it here, in the bizarre safety of social media. Those vaccines (the ones you told me were safe) injured my son.

    He screamed for weeks and arched his back, refusing to be touched during his “episodes.” The chronic diarrhea started and so did the double consecutive ear infections. His skin was inflamed, he stopped sleeping, he was always sick and then he started to regress.

    You told me that he just ate too many vegetables. You told me that lots of kids go through this. You told me that half a year of continuous ear infections and numerous rounds of antibiotics were “normal.” You told me there was nothing I could have done. You told me that I just had bad luck. You told me it was his genes. You told me that this is what babies are like.

    And then I stopped believing you.

    I started to research. Every single day. I looked up the vaccines, their ingredients and their known side effects. I read peer reviewed studies and books written by doctors. I found thousands of stories that mirrored mine exactly. I discovered the term vaccine injury. I unearthed the corruption behind the vaccine industry and most importantly I realized that I could heal him. I began our family’s journey into holistic medicine and gathered a tribe of #Crazymothers who echoed my experience.

    I began to feel strong.

    I had always known that my son had a bad “reaction” to the vaccines but when I came home one day from getting groceries and saw him standing by the window staring, rocking back and forth, ignoring my loud calls to him, I knew.

    I knew that if he ever had another vaccine, that I would lose him into the world of autism.
    I never went back to your office after that day. We moved and I looked for a holistic doctor and found an amazing Naturopath and Chiropractor who helped me bring my son back to this world. We did years of diet, vitamins, toxic elimination and treated everything without pharmaceuticals.

    So, Doctor, I am writing this to tell you that…

    You. Were. Wrong.

    You were wrong about so much I could never put it all in writing. 

    You were wrong about vaccine injury being rare. 

    You were wrong about my son being fine. 

    You were wrong about his health problems being normal. 

    You were wrong in telling my to give him Tylenol. 

    You were wrong when you told me only antibiotics heal ear infections. 

    You were wrong about vaccines not causing regressive autism and you were wrong to scare me into getting vaccines for my child.

    You were wrong.

    And you were also wrong about me. 

    You were wrong to think that I wouldn’t spend every waking second to try and heal him. 

    You were wrong to think that I wouldn’t catch on. 

    You were wrong to think that I wasn’t educated enough to read. 

    You were wrong to think I wouldn’t be appalled at the corruption of Big Pharma. 

    You were wrong in thinking I wouldn’t find millions of mothers saying “Me too.” 

    You were wrong in believing that I would stay silent. 

    You were wrong to think that I would eventually give up. 

    You were wrong to think that I would forget what you did and you were wrong if you ever thought I would forgive you.

    WE injured my child. I healed him.

    And because of that I will NEVER stop telling the world just how wrong YOU were.

  • Hospital Violates Right of Vaccine Exemption for Sick Kids

    Is a major children’s hospital now denying treatment to un vaccinated or under vaccinated children? According to this letter, effective November 1st, the clinic will no longer accept patients who are unvaccinated or on an alternative vaccine schedule or those with religious exemptions. Did you know that as of January 2018, federal protections were put in place that are designed to keep hospitals, facilities and care programs from this form of discrimination!  

    FAMILIES WHO ARE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST CAN FILE A COMPLAINT. This hospital has the potential of losing the federal funding if they violate an individual’s right of exemption to vaccines for religious or moral conscience. 

    *This new division of HHS ensures that all vaccine coercion at a state level is stopped from a federal level.  

    Catch Up or Else

    This hospital is denying treatment to sick children demanding that they get caught up on their vaccines. They give 90-days notice to those currently out of compliance to rectify the situation. Have you seen the CDC catch up schedule? 

    “The CDC has just launched a program that will calculate a catch-up schedule for children who were not vaccinated on schedule. A 5-year-old child who was not previously vaccinated would be required to receive 19 vaccines in one month, including 6 doses of aluminum-containing injections! This catch-up schedule was NOT tested for safety to determine the immediate or long-term risk of neurological or immunological damage.” (own emphasis)

    Following the links provided by Miller, it appears that the CDC table of vaccinations required in their catch-up program had been approved by the following organizations:

    Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices – (www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip)

    American Academy of Pediatrics – ( www.aap.org)

     American Academy of Family Physicians – ( www.aafp.org)

     American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists – ( www.acog.org)

    HFI wants to know: How is it that Hospitals and Doctors can discriminate against patient’s religious beliefs while being protected by their own? 

    Vaccines were created on the bodies of aborted babies and contain human DNA, created using pig, cow, and other animal parts and contain animal DNA. Injecting these types of human/animal products into the body is against many religious tenants and personal beliefs. In 2018 the HHS just created a department to PROTECT the religious beliefs of Doctors so they can discriminate against patients?

    aborted fetal DNA: http://soundchoice.org/aborted-fetal-products/

    HHS Religious Protection for Healthcare workers: https://www.hhs.gov/…/hhs-ocr-announces-new-conscience-and-…  

    Vaccine Exemptions on the basis of religious or philosophical grounds is NOW PROTECTED by HHS! 

    If an entity (hospital, healthcare facility, etc..) receives any federal funding through HHS but does not allow an individual the right to a religious or moral exemption from vaccine requirements, it is considered discrimination and a violation of personal rights and therefore subject to investigation by the federal government.

    Employees, clients, consumers who use a facility that is supported in part by federal funds MUST have access to vaccine exemptions.
    If you are denied these exemptions you have the right to file a complaint of conscience. 

    What is the consequence to the employer who forces vaccines and participates in moral/religious discrimination?

    An entity receiving federal funding through HHS has the potential of losing the federal funding if they violate an individual’s right of exemption to vaccines for religious or moral conscience. This is an opening to ensure that all vaccine coercion at a state level is stopped from a federal level.  

    Are you a family that was denied access to care by a facility (this or another) from an agency or entity that receives federal funding from Health and Human Services?

  • Scientist and Mother Shares Her Stance Against Vaccines

    Toxicologist Ashley shares her stance against vaccines based on the science and research she found. Once pro-vaccine her research lead her to discover that as parents, we aren’t told the whole truth and provided with informed consent when it comes to the vaccines injected into our children. Please read her editorial and research the links provided to help you make an informed choice for or against vaccines for your family. 
    Dear pro-vaxxer,
    As someone who once believed in vaccines, who vaccinated my child, I’m asking you to hear me out.
    I know you might think I am either (1) stupid, (2) uneducated, or (3) crazy. I know you think questioning vaccine safety is akin to believing in conspiracy theories. I know you are angered to think that there are people putting children in harm’s way because of the increasing rate of vaccine refusal.

    I understand that. I 100% appreciate the fact that you care about children, that you care about health, and that you want the best for your family and for the rest of us.

    I know you find the practice of vaccination to be an incredible scientific advancement that you are deeply thankful for. I know you believe in the benevolence and good will of those in the medical profession.

    HOW truly INSPIRING and absolutely wonderful is that to believe?

    How difficult and frustrating would it then be, to have those beliefs challenged? And for medical professionals, to have one of the main tenets of their profession and life purpose be questioned, and attacked?

    Believe me, it took years of daily research and investigation into this issue before I began to decide that the potential benefits of vaccination do not outweigh the costs. And this was *after* vaccinating my child and watching him suffer neurodevelopmental and cognitive delays. This was after we began to deal with food allergies that gave him constant stomach pain and eczema.

    Let me add, that when I say the words “research” and “investigate”, I’m not talking about mom blogs or natural news websites with no sources or references for their information. I’m talking about published, peer reviewed scientific research from medical journals. I’m talking about data and records from the CDC website that you have to dig to find. I’m talking about important information about outbreaks and how to treat measles and whooping cough that doesn’t make the local or national news. I’m talking about historical records and archived articles… A significant amount of this information is behind paywalls. It’s not easily found or accessed unless you have come to learn what you need to search 

    for.

    I will also add that I am a scientist. Specifically, a toxicologist – someone who determines the level at which a particular substance is toxic or deadly. 

    (Please don’t attempt to remind me that “the dose makes the poison”. This applies to substances that are not toxic at the lowest levels we can measure.) I know how to read, understand, and interpret scientific research. When it comes to vaccines, I search for proof. For solid scientific evidence. It was and still is, of utmost importance to me, to see the research, and only then, come to an informed decision. And in the end, the overwhelming amount of unbiased historical and scientific evidence – was against vaccines.

    I do not take this issue lightly. 

    What I am hoping for, is that you might just heed our warning, and make an effort to dive deep into the research on this subject. 

    So what, you know what you know, and the entire medical system and all of these great pediatricians KNOW that vaccines are “safe and effective”. Well what if that’s not actually… true?

    *What if doctors never actually learn about vaccines, their ingredients, or adverse events, in medical school?
    *What if the medical textbooks are written with an enormous amount of funding from the pharmaceutical industry?
    *What if the CDC owns patents on vaccines?
    *What if the pharmaceutical industry is corrupt and funds studies which conveniently stop monitoring test subjects before adverse effects begin to manifest?
    *What if vaccines contain toxic substances at levels which can cause chronic illness when children are repeatedly injected with them? What if we are trading temporary illness for the development of autoimmune and neurological disease later in life?
    *What if the threat and danger of these “preventable” diseases has been inflated to push more vaccines?
    *What if these vaccines are not even truly effective as we have been led to believe and we will always need more booster shots to try to make up for that fact?

    What if there is evidence for all of the above, you just haven’t seen it yet?

    Listen.

    …If you want to vaccinate, then do so. I hope though that you might keep an open mind and genuinely take time to look into this for yourself, beyond the claims of our government and medical system which ignore or are unaware of the massive amount of evidence that contradicts those claims. Please take caution and know that I don’t do this to be popular. I don’t do this to make friends.

    The only reason I speak out, is to protect my children and your children, from unnecessary harm. Truly.

    With love.

  • STOP the Meningitis Vaccine Mandate

    IDHW is set to add another vaccine to the required high school schedule – Meningitis. 
    You can help stop it! Send 2 emails to the legislators on the health and welfare committee. 
    Parents don’t need to be manipulated to getting a vaccine that 90% of students already voluntarily receive 
    for a disease that affects 1 in a million people in Idaho a year. 

    Health Freedom Idaho opposes a meningococcal MenACWY vaccine mandate for all 12th grade students (who had not received a MenACWY vaccine after the age of 16) attending school in Idaho.The cost and risk veruses benefit clearly indicate that this vaccine mandate will not reduce the incidences of disease or mortality in Idaho. It will simply increase the cost of attending school.

    Join Health Freedom Idaho in telling our Senators and Representatives on the Health and Welfare committees to vote AGAINST an additional meningitis vaccine for Idaho seniors. Remember Your legislators are not experts on every issue. They need the assistance of citizens who have experience in each category, to review these rules and provide input. Otherwise, they will be forced to rely primarily on legislative advisors (lobbyist) to provide answers to proposed rule questions.

    2nd Email Senators on the Health and Welfare Committee BCC : info@healthfreedomidaho.com 

    msouza@senate.idaho.gov,
    alee@senate.idaho.gov,
    mharris@senate.idaho.gov,

    vburtenshaw@senate.idaho.gov

    SUBJECT LINE: Oppose Rule Change 16-0215-1802

    Dear <Representative> <Senator>

    I urge you to vote against the rule change 16-0215-1802 which is an additional meningitis vaccine for our high school seniors. 

    CHOOSE THREE BULLET POINTS FROM BELOW and insert here OR delete this line and send the paragraph below.

    The Health Department has not shown that mandating an additional MenACWY vaccine for more than 30,000 students annually will decrease the already low rates of 3 cases of meningitis in the state. This costly vaccine does not protect our students in college, as they promoting. The manufacturers state that the vaccine is ineffective against the most prevalent serotype B and 92% of college students who get vaccinated with MenACWY got meningitis on campus. 

    Please stop this vaccine mandate by voting NO on the rule change 16-0215-1802 (pg 91) 

    Sincerely,

    <your name>

    City, 

    IMPORTANT POINTS (choose 2 – 3)

    Disease Rare in U.S.
    Invasive meningococcal infections are very rare in the U.S.
    2016 there were 372 cases.
    31 of cases aged 16 -23 of the bacterial strains covered by the MenACWY vaccine.  
    This bacterial infection affects individuals with certain genetic, biological and environmental risk factors. 24

    Disease Rare in Idaho.

    Incidence in Idaho is extremely low and almost nonexistent among children aged 10 to 19.
    Immunization department stated in 2017 there is 1 male aged 19 who infected and an individual over 60.
    Idaho has an average of 3 cases annually for all age groups for the past twelve years. 9

    Disease Not Easily Transmitted in Public Setting. 

    The disease is not spread through casual contact or breathing the air where a person has been but requires sustained, close personal contact, such as kissing or sharing a toothbrush. 7

    Vaccine Does Not Contain All Strains. 
    The four-strain vaccine MenACWY does not contain serotype B that causes about 60 percent of invasive infections. 1
    The MenACWY vaccine insert states specifically that the vaccine does not cover the serotype B found in most college outbreaks.

    The vaccine does not protect against the more prevalent bacteria found on college campuses. 
    92% of college students contracting meningitis were vaccinated with the MenACWY vaccine. 24

    Mandate Is Expensive. 
    Idaho Immunization Department lists the cost of Menactra under the CDC contract is $91.81 per dose. The cost of Menveo is $73.83 per dose.  25 A portion of this vaccine mandate will be paid by the taxpayers under the Idaho Immunization Program (IIP)

    Voluntary use of MenACWY is increasing in Idaho.

    Parents and doctors already have a discussion about the MenACWY vaccine with 90.5% VOLUNTARILY vaccinating without government interference. CDC shows a steady annual voluntary increase of about 5% annually  in Idaho for the MenACWY vaccine.
    2017 reports reflect 90.5%  received a MenACWY vaccine. Up from 86.5% the previous year. 26 

    Vaccine Injuries Occur. 
    Brain and immune system disorders have been reported following receipt of MenACWY, including Guillain Barre Syndrome, and a new study has linked the vaccine with Bell’s Palsy when it is given simultaneously with other vaccines. 

    Meningococcal organisms are naturally present in the nasal passages of humans. 

    The vast majority of children and adults colonize the bacteria without symptoms and then they are protected from invasive meningococcal infections.  Between 10 and 20 percent of people at any given time are actively colonizing meningococcal organisms, which boosts innate immunity to invasive infection. 2 3 

    A tiny percentage of individuals are more vulnerable to invasive meningococcal infections. 
    Individuals with certain genotypes or immune deficiencies are at 5,000 to 7,000 times greater risk for developing invasive infections that lead to sepsis, loss of limbs and death. 4 5 Other risk factors include active or passive smoking; a recent respiratory infection; crowded living conditions; alcohol use; and an underlying chronic illness, such as HIV infection. 6 

    Invasive meningococcal disease is not easily transmitted in a public setting. 
    An individual must be susceptible to invasive meningococcal infection and have regular, close personal contact with a person who is colonizing meningococcal organisms, such as exchange of saliva through kissing or sharing a toothbrush. 7 

    Vaccine Immunity Wanes
    In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended in 2005 that all 11-year old children get a dose of the four-strain meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY). 10 About 60 percent of invasive meningococcal infections are caused by serotype B, but MenACWY only contains serotypes A, C, Y, and W-135. 11 12
    In 2011, the CDC recommended a MenACWY booster dose at age 16 after discovering that MenACWY immunity wanes within 2 to 5 years. 13  
    MenACWY is one of the more expensive pediatric vaccines on the U.S. market, costing a $92 per shot in a private pediatrician’s office, not including administration fees, and up to $74 per shot through the federally subsidized Vaccines for Children program. 14

    Based on outstanding questions about duration of immunity and cost-effectiveness, in 2015 the CDC did not recommend the newly licensed MenB vaccine for use by all adolescents. 15  By 2015, voluntary use of MenACWY among Idaho teens had increased to 6 percent with increases reflected annual over the past several years. 26

    Vaccine manufacturers describe reported vaccine reactions and injuries and deaths following MenACWY administration.

     The list includes irritability, abnormal crying, fever, drowsiness, fatigue, injection site pain and swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, joint pain, sudden loss of consciousness (syncope), brain inflammation, convulsions, Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) and death.18 A study published in January 2017 linked an increased risk of Bell’s Palsy for 11-12-year-olds given MenACWY simultaneously with other vaccines. 19 In 2007, the National Vaccine Information Center reported an increase in serious adverse event reports to VAERS, including GBS, when meningococcal vaccine was given simultaneously with HPV vaccine to young girls. 20 

    More than 3,843 MenACWY reactions have been reported to the government. 

    As of September 21, 2018, there have been 3843 reports of MCV4 adverse events made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), including 73 deaths. 21 It is widely recognized that only between one and 10 percent of vaccine adverse events are ever reported to VAERS. 22 23

    Idaho Vaccine Mandates for high school this isn’t a new LAW its a new RULE. Here’s information on the difference. https://repheatherscott.com/rules-regulations/

  • Your Employer CANNOT Force Vaccinations or a Mask

    Attention Healthcare Workers! Your employer is guilty of discrimination when they force you to vaccinate against your religious and/or moral conscience. They are guilty of discrimination when they force you to wear a mask. While the federal government doesn’t have the authority to override the state’s vaccine mandates, it can enforce the right to freedom of religion or moral conscience for those individuals who are against vaccines. There are several opportunities for employees to protect their rights and their employment in the healthcare field.

     Religious conscience is tied to a religious tenet or belief. Moral conscience is similar to a religious exemption but goes further and is more like a personal belief exemption and doesn’t rely on a religious tenet.

    Learn what you can do to protect your rights!as we host attorney Alan Phillips J.D. and attorney D. Colton Boyles of Davillier Law Group, LLC

    • Does the ambiguity of the new HHS Department rules allow for an employee complaint who is facing discrimination due to their religious or consciousness belief against vaccination?
    • What if I file a complaint with HHS and they deny looking at it? Do I lose access to other means of legal action?
    • Are there other opportunities to file complaints of civil rights violations in order to preserve employment without forced vaccination?
    • Can a Hospital or Clinic deny a patient access to care? What is the resource for families if they do so?

    Complaints filed at the HHS Conscience and Religious Freedom Division

    What is this department and how can it help employees?

    This will be investigated by the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division of the Health and Human Services Department established in January 2018 by the Trump Administration. This department provides oversight to all entities that receive HHS funding to ensure they are not violating religious/moral conscience rights. 

    Federal statutes protect health care provider conscience rights and prohibit recipients of certain federal funds from discriminating against health care providers who refuse to participate in these services based on moral objections or religious beliefs.

    What is the consequence to the employer who participates in moral/religious discrimination?

    An entity receiving federal funding through HHS has the potential of losing the federal funding if they violate an individual’s right for religious or moral conscience. It appears that the rules updated November 2018 do NOT exclude vaccinations.

    This could be an opening to ensure that all vaccine coercion at a state level is stopped from a federal level.  

    How can you know if your employer is receiving federal funds? 

    There are very few organizations that do NOT receive federal from under the umbrella of programs from HHS.

    Has Your Conscience or Religious Freedom Been Violated?

    File a Conscience or Religious Freedom Complaint

    Complaints filed earlier this year are currently in review. It is critical that all those who have experienced discrimination file a complaint.

    We want to flood the system – with this legitimate discrimination issue – there are people being discriminated across the US. You have the right and responsibility to file a complaint- THIS is how we are going to ensure a religious exemption/moral conscience exemption are in place for every person.

    A Mask is a Discrimination. Can You File a Complaint?

    Is a mask a HIPPA Violation? A Civil Rights Violation?

    We will hear from vaccine exemption advocate Alan Phillips JD as he clears up the confusion on forced flu mask policies. 

    Those entities that have an exemption policy and yet force only individuals who are unvaccinated to wear a mask – could this still fall under the HHS discrimination complaint? It is discrimination. In fact, lawsuits have been won on this very point, as it is singling out a specific group of individuals based on their religious or philosophical beliefs.

    Christian Hilderbrand of a Voice for Choice Advocacy helped to clarify this issue as its ‘a fine line’ complaint to HHS.

    “While a complaint can be made that an employee doesn’t have a religious/conscious exemption for vaccination there is a fine line about being forced to wear a mask. With an exemption in place, that could be like saying “my employer is making me wear pink scrubs.”

    HFI suggests that this is a HIPAA violation since the nurses vaccination status is being broadcast by his/her specific uniform differences. We encourage all to file a complaint and help bring awareness to the problem.  

    HFI’s suggestion, file a complaint with HHS and a lawsuit in your local court.
    Here’s some information on a case that has been won:

    The arbitration judgment:

    https://www.ona.org/wp-content/uploads/ona_kaplanarbitrationdecision_vaccinateormask_stmichaelsoha_20180906.pdf  

    Background

    Vaccine requirements are put in place by each state. Most universities, colleges, schools, and hospitals do have vaccine requirements while most provide religious or philosophical exemptions. Those exemptions can be hard to find unless a parent or employee looks hard or asks explicitly, often times the option will not be offered. 

    While the federal government cannot restrict or enforce vaccine mandates they can protect individuals facing discrimination in this area. In January 2018 the current administration established a new federal department under the HHS that was designed “to restore federal enforcement of our nation’s laws that protect the fundamental and unalienable rights of conscience and religious freedom” and specifically provides oversite to those organizations that receive federal funding.  This new department is called the  “The Conscience and Religious Freedom Division”. 

    from the site: https://www.hhs.gov/conscience/conscience-protections/index.html

    “Conscience protections apply to health care providers who refuse to perform, accommodate, or assist with certain health care services on religious or moral grounds.”

    Who should file a complaint?

    You may file a complaint under the Federal Health Care Provider Conscience Protection Statutes if you believe you have experienced discrimination because of you:

    • Objected to, participated in, or refused to participate in specific medical procedures, including abortion and sterilization, and related training and research activities
    • Were coerced into performing procedures that are against your religious or moral beliefs

    Healthcare workers

    denied employment or been discriminated against while employed 

    • in a hospital, 
    • skilled nursing or other residential care facility, 
    • health care provider office inpatient or outpatient health care center, 
    • medical laboratory, 
    • ambulance service, 
    • direct health or medical insurance carrier, 
    • a facility serving elderly or persons with disabilities,
    • health care provider office

    Clients & Consumers Seeking Access to Shelter

    • denied entry into a facility serving persons with disabilities or group home

    Clients & Consumers Access to Programs

    • Headstart program
    • Developmental Disability Programs
    • Foster care Licensing

    Clients & Consumers Denied Care

    • Denied care or discriminated against in a hospital, 
    • Denied care at health care provider office or inpatient or outpatient healthcare facilities

    How to File a Conscience Complaint

    You can file a complaint online or via mail, fax, or e-mail. Learn more about how to file a complaint with OCR. https://www.hhs.gov/conscience/complaints/filing-a-complaint/index.html

    Summary:

    • You have the right to file a complaint (ONLINE or BY MAIL) for religious or philosophical discrimination due to vaccine coercion. 
    • Your complaint will be reviewed.
    • This complaint process could STOP THEIR FEDERAL FUNDING ensuring religious/moral exemptions for every person

  • MENINGITIS FACTS

    Meningitis is a RARE disease, 3 people statewide a YEAR contract the illness. The vaccine itself does not cover all prevalent meningococcal strains, including those primarily found on college campuses and it is a very costly vaccine. The disease rate has been going down across all ages and the vaccination rates for high school students has voluntarily been increasing. 

    The Senate Health and Welfare Committee will hear about this rule change tomorrow at 3 p.m.

    Subject line: 16.02.15 Immunization Requirement Opposed

    Here’s the key points. 

    • Meningitis is a rare disease, an average 3 in Idaho contract bacterial Meningococcal meningitis each year.  Around 300 people in the US get ill from the bacteria less than 50 die.
    • The rare disease has been on a downward trend with historic lows in 2016.  
    • The meningococcal vaccine is intended to protect against only 4 strains of bacteria are proven ineffective. These vaccines are effective in providing immunity to those strains of meningitis in only 85 percent of people who receive them.
    • This vaccine DOES NOT COVER the B strain most commonly found on college campuses. CDC reports findings that 93% of the college students contracting the disease were vaccinated!  
    • Meningitis vaccine rates are actually INCREASING without the additional mandates.  
    • The CDC has approved three vaccines targeting the A, C, Y and W135 strains of meningitis: Menactra, Menveo  which still contains significant mercury concentrations in multi-dose vials.

    Meningitis. 

    A rare disease that has an annual death rate in the U.S. of approximately 1 in 1,000,000; literally “one in a million.” [1]

    Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcal bacteria, is passed by coughing or contact with saliva and is normally present in the respiratory tracts of healthy people without causing disease [3, 4, 5]. In fact, probably no one escapes infection. Symptomatic disease is quite rare for N. meningitidis. As such, 100% of the population, vaccinated or not, are asymptomatic carriers at some point in their lives. In fact, at any time, 5-35% of the population is silently carrying the bacteria, though the numbers often rise to nearly 100% in close quarters, such as military barracks and college campuses [4].

    Is meningitis scary? Yes. But, with only 4 strains of bacterial meningitis and 0 strains of viral meningitis in the vaccine, it’s a guessing game, similar to the flu shot, on which strain you’d even be exposed to. The vaccine, in creating an artificial immune response, actually leaves you more vulnerable to the more virulent strains of meningitis, not covered in the vaccine. 

    Idaho infectious disease reports show the following for Neisseria meningitidis, often referred to as meningococcus. Which causes cause meningitis and other forms of meningococcal disease such as meningococcemia, a life-threatening sepsis. 

    2017: 2 cases
    2016: 3 cases
    2015: 0 cases
    2014: 5 cases
    2013: 4 cases

    According to the CDC’s Enhanced Meningococcal Disease Surveillance Report, 2016 the rare disease has been on a downward trend since the late 1990’s.  372 people in 2016 got the disease nationwide. (Incident rate of .12 of 100,000).

    DOCKET NO. 16-0215-1802 (pg 91) The Health Department wants to “require a second dose of meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccination before a student enters the 12th grade in Idaho, starting with school year 2020-2021. If a student received their first dose of meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccine at 16 years of age or older, they will not be required to receive the second dose before entry into the 12th grade.”

    How can you, as a parent, best protect your child from meningococcal infection?

    Answer:  Remind your child that this disease is spread by prolonged contact. Sharing toothbrushes, cups and kissing are forms of transmission.
    Improve your child’s immune system by providing a healthy diet of whole foods that are rich in nutrients.  Give supplements that are high in antioxidants, balanced B-vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.  Give extra vitamin D3 during cold and flu season.  Heal the gut if your child has gastrointestinal problems.   Stress the importance of getting enough sleep and fresh air.   Help your child learn to relax.  And, just say NO to vaccines that damage your child’s innate immune system.
