Guest guest Posted December 10, 1998 Report Share Posted December 10, 1998 As many of you know, Sgt. Mike Kipling is facing court martial for refusing the anthrax vaccine. The cost of his defence is estimated to run between $25,000 - $100,000. This is a precedent setting case. As I understand it, those who have refused vaccines previously have been discharged. The repercussions associated with this turn of events is that military personnel will be faced with fines (perhaps in excess of $2000), demotion and up to 2 years in prison - all because they wish to protect their health. This is precisely what the Kiplings are facing now. Mike has had previous adverse reactions to vaccines. He has very good reason to refuse this highly experimental and inadequately tested vaccine - as do many others. This case will determine how Canadian military personnel will be treated in the future regarding anthrax vaccination and any other vaccines that will be introduced in the future. It is vital that we respond immediately. The Eagle Foundation Inc., of Winnipeg Manitoba, have agreed to handle donations for the Kipling's defence fund. They were established in 1995, by a group of chiropractors, to assist a family who required funding for legal costs following their daughter's adverse reaction (autism) to the MMR vaccine. Recently, The Eagle Foundation began assisting a second family whose child was severely brain damaged from a vaccine. Now, they have opened their doors to help the Kiplings. Mike and Francine Kipling desperately need our help to cover the cost of legal representation. They have said that if there are any funds left over, they will be retained by The Eagle Foundation in order to help other families who require help due to vaccine injuries. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Please send donations to: The Eagle Foundation c/o 154 Provencher Blvd. Winnipeg, Manitoba R2H 0G3 Canada The fund must be identified on the cheque. Please make the cheques payable to: The Eagle Foundation, Inc.: Sgt. Mike Kipling Defence Fund Thank you, Diodati -- Meryl Nass, M.D. Parkview Hospital, Brunswick, Maine 04011 email mnass@... phone (207) 865-0875 fax (207) 865-6975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
