Washington State Vaccine Bill Threatens Exemptions & Violates Privacy

by Barbara Loe Fisher If you are a resident of Washington state, you should know that there is a bill quietly sailing through your state legislature that violates your privacy and threatens your right to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccination. House Bill 1015 and Senate Bill 5005 also discriminates against parents by failing to give them equal protection under the federal National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (PL 99-660). Doctors & Nurses Must Sign Non-Medical Vaccine ExemptionsThe proposed new law will legally require doctors and nurses to personally sign off on all religious or personal belief exemptions to vaccination filed with the state. Parents seeking non-medical exemptions will be required to include a signature from a vaccine provider on the exemption form stating that they have been given vaccine benefit and risk information. Currently Washington state mandatory vaccination laws only require signatures from medical personnel when medical exemptions are filed.Medical Personnel Invading Privacy If this bill becomes law, it will put doctors, nurses and other medical personnel in the legal position of acting as inquisitors of religious beliefs held by fellow citizens, which is an invasion of privacy and a de facto violation of First Amendment rights. Americans associated with the medical profession will have the power to sit in judgment of, or interfere with, the free exercise of religious, spiritual or conscientious beliefs of other Americans. It will also make it easier for doctors to punish parents making selective vaccine choices by denying their children medical care, which is the official policy of many U.S. pediatricians... click here to watch and video and read the entire commentary with live links to 26 references.

NVIC Advocacy Portal PSA Helps You Inform Others

Today, vaccine exemptions in many states in the U.S. are under attack by lobbyists working for wealthy and politically powerful pharmaceutical companies selling vaccines for profit, companies that are desperate to protect a multi-billion dollar vaccine business. Drug companies selling vaccines are assured of predictable profits when every vaccine they produce is mandated for use by all Americans, who are subjected to coercion and societal sanctions when they attempt to make informed vaccine choices.Pro-forced vaccination proponents like Dr. Offit of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, are engaging in continuing personal attacks on the founders of the National Vaccine Information Center and other parents of vaccine injured children, who are calling for vaccine safety research and defending the right for all Americans to make informed, voluntary decisions about vaccination of themselves and their children. Goals of these personal attacks by individuals with financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry include persuading the mainstream media to end all public conversation about vaccine safety issues and the blocking of scientific research into the biological mechanisms and risk factors for vaccine-induced brain and immune dysfunction.

Keep up to date on what is happening in your state and when you need to take action. Forward this PSA to your friends, relatives, colleagues and everyone you know.

Cry for Vaccine Freedom Wall - Post Your Story

Have you been harassed for using your critical thinking skills to make independent vaccine choices?Have you been ridiculed by doctors or nurses or school officials for your sincerely held religious, spiritual or conscientious beliefs about vaccination?Have you or your child been barred from getting an education or obtaining health insurance because you decline to get one or more of the dozens of doses of government recommended vaccines?Have you lost your children or your job or your health because you were forced against your will to be vaccinated even though you or your children already had suffered serious vaccine reactions?You can let others know about how your human right to make voluntary decisions about vaccination, a medical procedure involving use of a pharmaceutical product that carries a risk of injury or death, has been violated.Click here to post your story on NVIC's Cry for Vaccine Freedom Wall.

In the News

The Autism-Vaccine Debate: Why It Won't Go Away: I have been speaking to young parents in my neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn lately about vaccines and autism, which science and the media have once again pronounced as completely debunked for what I believe is now the sixth or seventh time. These are highly educated, affluent and politically progressive people -- doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, writers and other successful professionals. And like half of the American population in one poll, many of my neighbors (though certainly not all) say that there is, or may be, an association between autism and the current U.S. vaccine schedule.Although some Park Slope parents refuse to vaccinate their children at all - an unwise and dangerous choice in my opinion -- the vast majority makes sure their kids get immunized; although many do so on a schedule worked out with their pediatrician. In general, it is the most highly educated parents who are now eschewing the CDC schedule and vaccinating their children at a different pace. In one recent presentation of data, for example, mothers with masters degrees were significantly more likely to forego the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose than mothers with an 8th grade education. - Kirby, Huffington Post, Feb. 11, 2011
