[Guest guest]

March 24, 2011 Issue

TODAY'S ACTION ALERT IN

WA: An

assault on vaccine exemptions is underway in Washington State by powerful

special interest groups that want to do the same thing in other states.

All WA state residents, who want to file a philosophical or religious

exemption to vaccination without getting a signature from a doctor or

medical worker, should register for the free NVIC Advocacy Portal and

access guidelines and updates for how to contact legislators to educate

them about the dangers of SB5005. Key contacts need to be made

immediately in the House of Representatives on legislation that will

significantly restrict the ability to file and receive a religious or

philosophical exemption. Stand up and protect your informed consent

rights or lose them. Register at

Stand Up For Vaccine Choices

by Barbara Loe Fisher

The online Advocacy Portal launched by the

National Vaccine Information Center in November 2010 is helping Americans

organize and fight to protect the integrity of the medical, religious and

conscientious belief exemptions to vaccination in state health laws. In

two states - Washington and New Jersey - well heeled and politically

influential medical trade organizations promoting forced vaccination,

such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have joined with

government health officials and pharmaceutical companies to put the

squeeze on state legislators to take away or severely limit the ability

of citizens to make voluntary vaccine choices.

The Advocacy Portal at

www.NVICAdvocacy.org is a unique interactive online education and

communication tool created by Dawn , NVIC's director of

advocacy, and is provided as a free public service for all Americans to

keep up to date and learn how to counteract coordinated, serious attacks

on state vaccine exemptions. In the past several months, NVIC has worked

with families using the Advocacy Portal in both states to help them voice

legitimate concerns about medical personnel inside and outside of

government, who are aggressively taking steps to force all citizens to

use an ever-increasing number of vaccines.

WA: Nearly 100 Try to Testify on March

9

On Feb. 13, 2011

NVIC sounded an alarm that legislation was being rammed through the

Washington state legislature that would require parents to get a doctor,

nurse or other designated medical personnel to sign a religious or

philosophical belief exemption to vaccination for their child stating

that the parents have been fully informed about the benefits and risks of

vaccination.

Forcing Families Into " Medical Homes " To Block Vaccine

Choices

The Senate bill

(

SB5005), which was introduced by state Sen. Keiser (D-33rd

District) and has 11 sponsors, and the House bill

(

HB1015), which was introduced by state Rep.

Barbara (R-10th District) and has 16 sponsors, enjoys the

strong backing of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Washington

State Nurses Association, state public health officials and other trade

organizations representing medical personnel, who are seeking to force

families into " medical homes " and reduce the numbers of

non-medical vaccine exemptions in the state of Washington.

Nearly 100 Came to Olympia To Object & Testify

After quickly organizing Washington state residents signed up as

users of the Advocacy Portal, Dawn scheduled an educational

webinar to help families in Washington prepare to give testimony at a

hearing on the Senate version of the bill in the House Health and

Wellness Committee. On March 9, nearly 100 mothers, fathers, and

grandparents, babies and children came from all over the state to Olympia

to send a clear message to legislators...

New Vaccine Film Premieres in Dallas

The World Premiere of a new feature

documentary on vaccination, " The Greater Good, " will be held in

the Angelika Film Center at the Dallas Film Festival on April 2 and

Sunday, April 3, 2011. On Sunday at Noon, there will be a special panel

roundtable discussion on a proposed Texas state bill mandating meningitis

vaccine for all college students.

The 82-minute movie has been produced by award winning film directors,

editors, animators and photographers and has been nominated by the

Dallas Film Festival for the Silver Heart Award and the Target

Documentary Competition. The film will also be screened at Arizona

International Film Festival in Tucson on April 12; at Lincoln Center in

New York City in May and at Autism One in Chicago on May 26.

Bringing the Bigger Picture Into Focus

The storyline for

"

The Greater Good " movie centers on three families, whose lives

have been changed by vaccine reactions, and features interviews with

pediatricians, public health officials, scientists, consumer activists,

attorneys and vaccine developers. NVIC's work and perspective on vaccine

safety and informed consent issues is included in the film. In a

statement of purpose, film producers Manookian Bradshaw, Kendall

and Pilaro, said " These days, vaccination ranks

alongside religion and politics as one of those subjects " not to

discuss around the Thanksgiving table. " The Greater Good aims to

change that. The film takes a step back from the recent divisiveness,

discusses the issue's complexity and nuances, and brings the bigger

picture into focus. We strive to create a safe space to bring rational

and reasonable ideas back to this important discussion. "
