No Shots, No School,... No Kids.

[Editor's Note: Taking away your children because you don't want them to be

vaccinated? Does that sound like America to you? How much is enough? When do

you throw down the gauntlet and fight these tyrants and their mindless

minions? When?]

More Efforts To Force Injections On Our Children

When Marie's children were born, she had them vaccinated in

accordance with state laws and she turned over the mandated documentation to

the local schools in Ohio. Little did she foresee that school officials would

threaten her with education neglect several years later because her

daughter's records could not be found.

Earlier this fall, Marie was informed that until she produced new copies of

the vaccination record or had her daughter re-vaccinated, the girl could not

begin junior high school -- a consequence that ultimately could have resulted

in neglect charges against Marie.

Refusing to have her adolescent daughter re-vaccinated, Marie questioned the

school board on the accuracy of record keeping in the district and was

eventually heard. Her case is now settled, but other parents who question not

only accuracy of record keeping but also the merits of mandated vaccinations

are facing intimidation, she said.

" The mandated vaccinations must have adequate record keeping or else children

will end up being re-immunized unnecessarily with unproven and unknown,

potentially damaging side effects, " said Marie, who wishes to remain

anonymous.

Schools are cracking down on mandated vaccinations in other states as well,

including New York -- the new home state of Senator-elect Hillary Clinton,

who authored a notorious universal health-care proposal during her husband's

first term as president.

In New York, as in Ohio, children are required by law to be vaccinated for

hepatitis B -- primarily an adult disease usually spread by multiple sex

partners, drug abuse or an occupation with exposure to blood. Children are at

a very low risk of exposure, unless the pregnant mother is infected,

according to the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, a

non-partisan professional association

The families of 77 middle-school students in Utica, N.Y., were told to have

their children vaccinated last month for hepatitis B, under threat of losing

custody. Government studies, however, say that particular vaccination can be

deadly to children.

On Oct. 10, the students were sent home for failing to get hepatitis B

vaccines by the state deadline. Parents were warned the children would be

turned over to Child Protective Services for neglect if they were still

without a vaccination in two weeks.

" This is Hillary-care coming home to roost in New York, " said Jane M. Orient,

M.D., executive director of the AAPS. The Clintons pledged during the 1992

presidential campaign to create the Vaccines For Children program, which was

to become the first domestic policy initiative of the administration. It was

designed as their first shot to pass the Health Security Act.

" Their campaign to pass VFC was based on creating a false crisis by claiming

that millions of children would be exposed to risk of disease without a

government program, " said Orient.

" This (hepatitis vaccine is a potential death sentence for some children, "

Orient continued. " Government studies show that children under the age of 14

are three times more likely to die or suffer adverse reactions after

receiving hepatitis B vaccines than to catch the disease itself. "

Nevertheless, states are demanding that parents have their children

vaccinated for the disease.

The American Academy of Pediatrics admits, " In the U.S., most persons

infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) acquired their infection as young

adults or adolescents. HBV is transmitted primarily through sexual contact,

injecting-drug use, regular household contact with a chronically infected

person, or occupational exposure. However, the source of infection is unknown

for approximately one third of persons who have acute hepatitis B. "

According to its own statement, " The AAP recommends that providers administer

hepatitis B vaccine to all adolescents for whom they provide services. "

Pospisil, spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Health,

said, " This is the first year we're requiring schools to immunize

seventh-graders. " Ideally, she continued, students are given the vaccine at

the beginning of the school year. However, the state did have some " problems "

with compliance in certain areas of the state.

Many parents do not want their children immunized for certain diseases,

including hepatitis B and polio, because of the risk factors involved.

However, Pospisil believes " parents may not be used to immunizing their kids

in the seventh grade [compared to] when they first start school. "

The spokeswoman noted parents may apply for an exemption, " but it's fairly

narrow. " Parents must obtain certification from a New York physician that a

vaccine may be detrimental to a child's health, or parents can submit a

written and signed statement to the child's school principal indicating the

family has " sincere and genuine religious beliefs " against receiving the

vaccination.

Pospisil said principals may ask for more information than just the signed

letter and that requests for exemption are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

At least one group advocates the elimination of mandated vaccines altogether.

AAPS recently adopted a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood

vaccines. The resolution passed without a single " no " vote at the group's

annual meeting this month.

" This is not a vote against vaccines, " said Orient. " This resolution only

attempts to halt blanket vaccine mandates by government agencies and school

districts that give no consideration for the rights of the parents or the

individual medical condition of the child. "

According to Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, 42 states have

mandatory vaccine policies, and many children are required to have 22 shots

before first grade.

" It's obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents refuse

medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even dangerous, "

Orient added. " AAPS believes that parents, with the advice of their doctors,

should make decisions about their children's medical care -- not government

bureaucrats. This resolution affirms that position. "

In the meantime, parents like Marie continue to battle with school districts

over controversial vaccines and immunizations. To those parents, Marie gives

some advice: " Above all, educate yourself. The schools will not trouble

themselves to educate parents, " she said. " An educated parent is the sole

defense of a child that is to be instructed in a schooling environment.

Always, always appeal to lawmakers, school administrators and anyone who will

listen to address with good medical sense the necessity of mandated

vaccination. "
