Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Dear List, I sent an email to Wisconsin State Rep. Urban regarding Bill 850. He sent the following response back. At least I got his attention. My original email follows his response. To Whom it may concern: Please be clear that AB 850 does NOT force vaccinations. Under Assembly Bill 850, the Governor of Wisconsin is given the authority to declare a state of emergency related to public health and to designate the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) as the lead state agency to respond to that emergency. If the Governor takes these actions, DHFS, as the public health authority, is authorized to order any individual to receive a vaccination. However, an exception to this requirement is provided if the vaccination is reasonably likely to lead to serious harm to the individual or if the individual, for reasons of religion or conscience, refuses to obtain the vaccination. If an individual is unable or unwilling for these reasons to receive the vaccination, DHFS may isolate or quarantine the individual during a declared public health emergency. In addition, DHFS is required to promulgate rules that specify circumstances, if any, under which a vaccination may not be performed on an individual. For example, in cases of small pox, the method of containment is to vaccinate in a geographic circle around the outbreak. Understand that refusing vaccination is your right, however at that point you would pose a potential threat to the health and safety of the general public and as such, the department under AB 850 would have the right to isolate or quarantine you. That is the trade off you would make should you refuse to be vaccinated so again, please be clear that AB 850 does NOT force vaccinations. And I cannot imagine a bio-terrorist attempting to utilize chicken pox or other common diseases which we routinely vaccinate for as a biological weapon. Should you choose to actually read the contents of AB 850 rather than have such a knee jerk reaction to erroneous information given to you, you may locate it at <A HREF= " http://www.legis.state.wi.us/ " >http://www.legis.state.wi.us/</A> Representative Urban 99th Assembly District FU:slb > Vaccines - Thanks > > > Just wanted to say thank you for all of the children you have condemned to > autism, adhd, brain damage, or death with your stance on vaccines. > McCain - Whose son regressed into severe autism shortly after > receiving his chicken pox vaccine.
