California, Mississippi and West Virginia currently have the most draconian child vaccination laws in the nation.  The only way to legally escape this barbaric, health-damaging and often life-ending "medical" intrusion into your child's/children's life in these states is through Medical Exemption.  Unfortunately, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have made it nearly impossible to obtain a Medical Exemption for your child/children.  The remaining 47 states currently allow for a Religious Exemption provision.  16 states currently allow for a Philosophical Exemption.

Medical Exemption

Below are excerpts from an article written by Dr. Mercola on the subject of forced vaccinations:

[QUOTING:]

All 50 states allow a medical exemption to vaccination if you or your child has a verifiable medical reason to defer or avoid use of one or more vaccines.

Unfortunately, since 1986 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have eliminated most officially recognized medical reasons for withholding vaccination (contraindications) so that almost no medical condition qualifies for a medical exemption to vaccination.  In most states, a medical exemption to vaccination written by a medical doctor can be denied if the medical reason given does not strictly conform to CDC and AAP contraindication guidelines.

Medical exemptions to vaccination must be written by a medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy (D.O.) and are usually reviewed annually by school or state health officials.

Depending on where you live, you may have the option of using a philosophical or conscientious belief exemption. This exemption, like the religious exemption, is under attack by forced vaccination proponents who want to eliminate non-medical exemptions to vaccination in America. Eighteen states allow conscientious, personal or philosophical belief exemption to vaccination.  These states come the closest to protecting a citizen's right to exercise voluntary, informed consent to vaccination in America. ...

If you don't like the vaccine laws in your state and want to change them, the non-profit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has an online Advocacy Portal  (www.NVICAdvocacy.org) that you can join and work in your state to protect or expand vaccine exemptions. There is no time to waste so take action now. Together, we can educate the public and reform vaccine laws in America to protect the right for citizens to make informed, voluntary vaccination decisions.

If Forced Vaccination Becomes a Reality, You are no Longer Free

The issue of protecting your right to make an informed, voluntary vaccination choice for yourself or your child in the United States is about defending human rights. As Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center, states:

"While the State may have the legal authority to mandate use of vaccines, nobody has the moral authority to FORCE you to get vaccinated or vaccinate your child without your voluntary, informed consent."

This -- the right to choose what is injected into your body or your child's -- is a decision that is a matter of life and death for some individuals, as the current one-size-fits-all approach to vaccination does not take into account differences among children's genetic profiles or immune responses based on factors such as age, weight, personal and family medical history and overall health status.

Each and every vaccine carries an inherent risk of causing a reaction, injury or death that can be greater for some individuals than others -- and many do not know they are at increased risk until it is too late. This is why I often remind readers that, ultimately, it is your responsibility to exercise due diligence and do your own research to decide for yourself which vaccines you do or do not want your child to receive.

It's important that you do an independent analysis by getting information from many sources, including organizations dedicated to preventing vaccine injuries and deaths, rather than only getting information from entities that are defending or making billions of dollars from promoting one-size-fits all forced vaccination policies.

You see, Big Pharma does NOT want you to have vaccine freedom of choice!

Barbara Loe Fisher explains:

"The only barrier left to unlimited vaccine profit-making is the freedom for Americans to choose whether or not to use every new vaccine Pharma creates and wants mandated. Freedom of choice is something Big Pharma and the medical lobby does not want you to have.

They know that many educated consumers in America and around the world are dissatisfied with the old pharmaceutical-based health care paradigm … And we are questioning why we and our children should be required to get a long list of expensive vaccines that carry serious risks and sometimes don't work at all.

… So Pharma is funding medical organizations profiting from mass vaccination policies to press politicians into quickly passing laws that force Americans to buy and use dozens of doses of vaccines. The goal is to demand that everyone salute smartly and obey doctors' orders to get vaccinated or be barred from getting an education, health insurance, medical care or a job.  The goal is to, in effect, brand unvaccinated citizens as enemies of the state, so they can be fined or imprisoned.

Can this really be happening in America?  Yes, it can."

And for the record, there is no system of "checks and balances" when it comes to vaccine safety. Vaccines have not been adequately tested for safety before they are licensed using methodologically sound scientific studies, so their long-term health effects are unknown. Moreover, the effects of multiple vaccines given together have not been adequately tested. And pharmaceutical companies have financed nearly all vaccine research to date, which introduces enormous bias.

Not to mention, vaccine manufacturers are totally shielded from liability and accountability in civil court for vaccine injuries and deaths. In February 2011, unbelievably the U.S. Supreme Court gave the drug companies total immunity from lawsuits -- even if they could have made a vaccine less harmful!

Barbara Loe Fisher continues:

"So if your child is brain injured by a vaccine that you may not have wanted your child to get in the first place, all you can do is file a claim in the federal vaccine injury compensation program. Even though the program has awarded more than $2 billion dollars to vaccine victims, two out of three plaintiffs are turned away empty handed." ...

Together We Can Change this Assault on Your Health Freedom

The religious exemption to vaccination is necessary because the fundamental problem that has yet to be effectively addressed is vaccine mandates. Ultimately, our goal is to change the health paradigm so that everyone has the unobstructed right to make informed, voluntary choices about medical procedures and  pharmaceutical product use.

What You Can Do to Make a Difference

While it seems "old-fashioned," the only truly effective actions you can take to protect the right to informed consent to vaccination and expand vaccine exemptions, is to get personally involved with your state legislators and the leaders in your community.

THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY.

Mass vaccination policies are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level, and it is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.

Signing up for NVIC's free Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org not only gives you access to practical, useful information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community, but when national vaccine issues come up, you will have the up-to-date information and call to action items you need at your fingertips to make sure your voice is heard.

So please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.

Contact Your Elected Officials

NVIC will help educate you about how to write or email your elected state representatives and share your concerns. You might even want to call them, or better yet, make an appointment to visit them in person in their office. Don't let them forget you!

It is so important for you to reach out and make sure your concerns get on the radar screen of the leaders and opinion makers in your community, especially the politicians you elect and are directly involved in making vaccine laws in your state. These are your elected representatives, so you have a right and a responsibility to let them know what's really happening in your life and the lives of people you know when it comes to vaccine mandates. Be sure to share the "real life" experiences that you or people you know have had with vaccination.

My gratitude to Dr. Mercola for writing the above article on Medical Freedom against forced vaccinations in America and for graciously allowing the sharing of a portion of his article, published in 2011, above.

The majority of Americans apparently still have the false belief that child vaccinations are okay.  Yeah, they are okay until your child develops a debilitating disease.  Often then do parents wake up to the horror that they have allowed their child to become diseased through the injection of vaccinations.  Worse yet is the fact that many parents do not even associate their child's contracting a disease with the mandatory inoculations.  Still worst is the fact that many people will never take the time to self-educate on the documented history of the failure of vaccines to prevent disease.  These are the masses who blindly go along with whatever their doctor says and swallows anything their doctor prescribes for them, and says yes to whatever the government tells them to do.  If they just would do a little research, they would find out the truth that vaccines actually cause disease.  Why do you think the Pharmaceutical and Medical industry are pushing the government so hard for mass forced inoculations nation-wide?  One part of the answer is the age-old sin, "greed".  The Pharmaceutical industry gets rich on the sale of tainted vaccines and the Medical industry gets rich on "caring for" the victims who contract diseases these tainted vaccines deliver.  The federal government mandated this forced vaccination program due to the lobbying efforts of the Pharmaceutical industry, the AMA and the CDC.  There are over fifty years of scientific evidence that backs up the statement that vaccines actually cause many abnormalities and diseases in their victims.  But don't expect your physician or the main stream media to tell you this.  This why it is so important for we-the-people to spread the truth about vaccines and fight for Religious and Philosophical Exemptions in ALL STATES.
