To whom it may concern,

We, ________, are exercising our religious right of choice for exemption from traditional immunizations for ______________, born on ______________. As a parent and under the constitution, we have this right. We believe in Jesus’ many promises of protection for us, that He loves us, and that He will take care of us. We have chosen a safer, more natural method to immunize our children and know that God will honor that choice.
Our religious beliefs are also based upon the understanding of what God requires of us as provided for in the Bible:

“That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
I Corinthians 2:5

“You must know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is within the spirit you have
received from God. You are not your own.”
I Corinthians 6:19

Sincerely,

Or would they state that the vaccin does not work at all ?

The interesting part is she told me that NO doctor in Alabama is going to keep putting up with people like me or non-vaccinators because they are getting ‘pressure’ from the Children’s Hospital network to dismiss us. She said it’s a liability issue and implied it was also a malpractice insurance issue. By not complying with the ‘recommended’ schedule, we would be dismissed and no other doctor will take us!

Wow! And, here I thought we lived in the land of the FREE! I posted about my experience in more detail on my blog. We’re coming up on the dreaded MMR visit with my 14 month old son so I’m sure we’ll get “the letter” if we show up. At this point, I’m looking for a family practice doctor that will accept us.

I’ve told you for years that many of the pro-vaccine crowd are hardly as unbiased and independent as they claim. I’ve long contended that many of these “independent” vaccination advocates are financially tied to Big Pharma and other pro-vaccine lobby groups. And now, finally, the mainstream media has started to follow the trail of pennies to the source of the vaccination issue. And guess what? Turns out I was right.

CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkinson discovered that some of the most prominent proponents of vaccination safety have “strong financial ties” to the Big Pharma companies that produce the vaccines they so vehemently defend.

In particular, CBS’s Attkinson found significant financial connections between the American Academy of Pediatrics, Every Child By Two (an organization that promotes early childhood vaccination), and pediatrician Dr. Paul Offit.

Nobody seems to have paid much attention to my accusations over the years. Now that CBS News is on the case, maybe people will start to take notice. Then again, this kind of financial corruption and paid advocacy is so common these days (believe me, congressmen and senators are routinely courted by special interest lobbyists who make massive campaign contributions in order to influence votes), it’s likely that people will just shake their heads in disgust and move on.

How bad are these financial ties? Judge for yourself:

Keep reading…

The American Academy of Pediatrics received $342,000 from pharmaceutical giant Wyeth, producers of the vaccine pneumococcal (a product which generates a whopping $2 billion in annual sales for the company). And the year that the AAP endorsed Merck’s HPV vaccine, they received a $433,000 “contribution” from Merck. Hmmm… do you think that “contribution” would have been as generous if the AAP had spoken out against the HPV vaccine?

Personally, these facts show another distasteful side to Big Pharma: they’re as cheap as the day is long. The HPV vaccine makes $1.5 billion in sales, and all they gave for the AAP’s “endorsement” is less than half a million bucks? Wonder if they said, “don’t spend it all in one place?” I’m being facetious, of course; where there is one $433,000 payment, my guess is there are surely others.

As for Every Child By Two, they wouldn’t even admit to the amount of contributions that they receive from Big Pharma, though they did admit that they do take money from the vaccine industry. A spokesman for Every Child By Two claimed that “there are simply no conflicts to be unearthed.” Oh yeah? Then why is one of the group’s treasurers an official from Wyeth Pharmaceutical?

But organizations are one thing; individuals quite another. And that’s why to me the worst of the three on the Big Pharma payroll is Dr. Offit. This man has been quoted as saying that babies can tolerate – get this – “10,000 vaccines at once.” Sickening, right? Well, Attkinson found that he also holds a Merck-funded $1.5 million research chair at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Oh, and he also personally HOLDS THE PATENT on an anti-diarrhea vaccine that’s produced by – who else? – Merck! The future royalties on this vaccine just sold for a staggering $182 million… no wonder Dr. Offit loves vaccines so much — he’s apparently fully immunized himself against poverty.

Shining the light on Big Pharma’s pro-vaccine roaches,

RECOMMENDATIONS VS.
LAWS: It is important for you to know the legal requirements
of the vaccination laws in your state and to understand the difference
between a legal requirement and a recommendation. While vaccine
policymakers in the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend that the MMR shot be
given to all children, your state may legally require only measles
and rubella vaccines. In this case, you have the legal option to
vaccinate with only measles and rubella vaccines and not with mumps
vaccine.

You also have the option in most states to be
exempted from vaccination or re-vaccination if you can show proof
of existing immunity. You can go to a private laboratory for a blood
test to determine if there are enough antibodies to prove existing
immunity to a disease such as measles or whooping cough. A blood
test that measures antibody levels can cost $55 or more, depending
on the disease.

When making an informed vaccination decision,
it is important to consider whether one or more of the following
factors will affect the safety and effectiveness of a particular
vaccine or combination of vaccines your child will receive:

• Child’s age
• State of health at the time of vaccination
• Number and types of vaccines to be given simultaneously
• Past history of acute vaccine reactions or
  serious health
  problems following vaccination
• Family history of vaccine reactions, severe
  allergies
  or autoimmune or neurological disorders

You make me want to rethink my policy of approving all comments. Cooties? Really. HA!HA!

Yes, I did Google the term Thimerisol, and Google replied with, “Did you mean: Thimerosal.” The previous poster likely misspelled the term. Google only produced about 14,500 results(consisting mostly of typos) for the term as the previous poster mentioned. Google produced nearly 1 million results for the way I spelled it. However, I feel you’re missing the point of my blog here. I agree that Children’s Medical Group is a place where children (usually) receive great quality care. But for them to deny care because I refuse to allow my children to receive an injection of God knows what, that does God knows what, just isn’t right. There is no law that says my children have to be vaccinated. If there was, then this would no longer the be the land of the free!

The point of this blog post isn’t just to make others aware of the dangers of vaccinations, but more importantly to let them know they have the right to say NO! Children’s Medical Group has sunk to the lowest of levels, by saying I must, when I don’t have to! Who knows what other personal beliefs/agendas they are forcing on their patients. They need to be practicing medicine & not politics!!

Your children are vaccinated and it’s obvious that in your mind you have nothing to worry about. You have peace. It isn’t so black and white for me. I’ve done the research and I know the dangers. I say NO! That’s my right. People should stop believing everything they’re told, and stop living in fear. Educate yourself!! That’s a choice we all have too.

It obviously doesn’t matter that “not every doctor in Children’s medical staff follows this rule of no vaccines”; because according to their office manager, a general consensus was reached by the group’s doctors. A group decision that my children would be denied medical care because I didn’t allow Children’s Medical Group to inject them with the vaccines. (Got to love a democracy)

In response to your claim that Children’s Medical Group doesn’t use any vaccines containing Thimerosal - Since you didn’t know the proper way to spell Thimerosal, it’s my guess that you’re probably unaware of the many mercury based preservatives (such as Thimerosal) available for use in vaccines; all of which can be just as harmful, if not more so, than Thimerosal. I’d like to know just exactly what the ingredients are in the vaccines Children’s Medical uses. Maybe Children’s Med would be so kind as to allow us to see the package insert from the box the vaccines come in.

Finally, as for the diseases that still exist… we stand about as much chance of being struck on the head with space debris, as we do of contracting some of these “scary” diseases.

My philosophy is this, eat right, live right, and stay natural. Egotistical man has being playing god and killing millions for centuries. I’d rather take my chances with nature rather than allow myself, or my family to be injected with most of the vaccines out on the market today. And until my children can understand the ways of this world enough to make an informed decision of their own, they will do as I do.

You don’t have to look any farther than the recent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine to realize just how these dangerous vaccines can hurt your children and you. In February 2006 a media hoax fooled parents in Texas and other areas of the country into believing that the HPV vaccine, which experts have slammed as untested and has continued to be linked to dangerous side-effects, was required by law and that young girls had to take it. Merck Pharmaceuticals hit the news headlines after it was revealed that the company was set to capitalize on this fraud by making obscene profits from a crony deal with Governor Rick Perry, while children were put at risk. (Got to love corporate greed)

If you ask me… most vaccines are far more dangerous than the diseases they are meant to protect us from! Please take the time to do your research. This is not just your life; this is our children’s lives we’re dealing with here. Research things for yourself!!! Please.
