Are Government Health Authorities Taking Away Your Choice to Refuse Vaccines?

Are Government Health Authorities Taking Away Your Choice to Refuse Vaccines?

3d rendering of caution tape with QUARANTINE written on it

Are mandatory vaccines on the way which would restrict personal liberties, such as the ability to come and go from your own personal property?

by Brian Shilhavy
Health Impact News Editor

Are Americans’ freedom to choose what is injected into their body at risk in the United States today? Is it possible that the day is not far off when if you refuse a mandated vaccine at your place of employment, or refuse a mandated vaccine for your child, that you could come home one day to find your residence quarantined, restricting you from leaving your home or having visitors simply for exercising your right to refuse a medical treatment?

There is compelling evidence that this is not some conspiracy prediction of a future Orwellian society, but something that is already in process in the United States of America. Many fear that a person’s choice of accepting or refusing mandatory vaccines could restrict one’s ability to travel in or out of the United States, one’s ability to send their children to school, one’s ability to continue working at their place of employment, or even one’s ability to leave one’s own privately owned home.

The Media Blackout: Vaccine News in Mainstream Media is One-sided

While anyone with a computer and Internet access can easily retrieve documents from U.S. Government websites showing that vaccines are dangerous causing serious injuries and deaths, this information is blacked out of the mainstream media, which willingly complies with the pharmaceutical companies’ sales pitches that vaccines are both safe and effective. We publish the Department of Justice’s quarterly reports on government payouts to vaccine victims for injuries and deaths here at Health Impact News, but you will never see it reported in the mainstream media. For the latest report published in December 2014, see: Government Pays Compensation to 80 Flu Vaccine Injuries and Deaths.

Since U.S. pharmaceutical companies enjoy a privilege in the United States that no other country in the world allows, which is total legal immunity from any damages caused by vaccines, we often have to find news regarding vaccine injuries from countries outside of the United States, where lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers abound, particularly against the HPV vaccines that are causing young girls to become sterile. (See: Study: HPV Vaccine Linked to Premature Menopause in Young Girls.)

Even though one cannot sue a pharmaceutical company for faulty vaccines that cause death or injuries, these drug companies are routinely fined and convicted for fraud and other criminal charges: Vaccine Scandals and Criminal Cases Increase in 2014.

The media blackout on anything negative regarding vaccines is so extensive, that when a senior CDC vaccine researcher decided to become a whistleblower earlier this year and expose some of the government cover-ups hiding vaccine dangers, the mainstream media simply ignored it. Watch the admission from Dr. William Thompson yourself:

Loss of Employment for Refusing Vaccines

We have reported many cases of healthcare professionals losing their employment due to refusing the annual flu shot. Even with the CDC announcing that this year’s flu shot was not a good match for current influenza strains, medical facilities are continuing to push forward with mandatory flu vaccines for all employees. For those refusing, their HIPAA right to medical privacy is violated by being required to wear a mask the entire time they are on the job. More about mandatory flu vaccines.

Medical professionals are NOT united in endorsing mandatory vaccines however, and some are daring to push back, even though this too is blacked out of the mainstream media. (See: The Flu Vaccine War: Healthcare Workers Fight Back.)

For one doctor’s view on vaccines that will never be published in the mainstream media, watch this extremely informative interview with Dr. Suzanne Humphries:

Dr. Suzanne Humphries on Vaccine Safety: “They Don’t Want You to Hear the Other Side”

Mandatory Vaccines for Employment Outside of Healthcare

Recent reports published by the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) suggest that mandatory vaccines are on the way for workplaces other than healthcare. A report issued by the CDC stated that mandatory flu vaccines should be extended beyond healthcare to food service, education, community and social services, personal care, cleaning and maintenance, and even real estate. (Report here.)

Augustina Ursino reported at VacTruth.com recently (December 2014) that daycare teachers in Texas are now being required to have seasonal flu vaccines as a condition of employment. (See: Teachers Are Being Mandated To Get the Flu Vaccine or Wear a Mask and Gloves.)

Exemptions for Mandatory Vaccines for Children Threatened at State Level

The United States currently injects more vaccines into children before the age of one than any other country in the world. We are also #1 in infant mortality rates.

Currently, every state in the United States allows exemptions for school-mandated childhood vaccines. Those exemptions can include medical exemptions, philosophical exemptions, and religious exemptions. Only two states do not allow either a philosophical or religious exemption: West Virginia and Mississippi.

However, there are health authorities at the state level in almost all of these states seeking to eliminate these exemptions.

This is currently happening in the State of Michigan. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Michigan Department of Community Health is attempting to bypass state laws that allow for vaccine exemptions:

Parents who refuse vaccinations for their children because of philosophical or religious reasons will have to take another step now under a new policy by the Michigan Department of Community Health. Starting Jan. 1, they must have their waivers certified by the local health department. (Source.)

According to the National Vaccine Information Center, this was a totally unannounced and unexpected move right at the end of a lame duck legislative session, which caught everyone by surprise and could be poised to be implemented with no debate or opposition.

The National Vaccine Information Center has a “portal” where one can register and keep up to date on any attempts to change vaccine laws in your state:

The NVIC Advocacy portal posts information that no other media outlets are picking up on.

It is a free service and you can sign up for alerts from your state here:

NVIC Advocacy Portal

The National Vaccine Information Center is a nonprofit organization supported by donations. There are few organizations more worthy of contributions now at the end of 2014. Please consider supporting their work:

Mandatory Vaccines Required to Leave your Home?

Few people realize how easy it is for the federal government to announce a “public health crisis” that would give them broad powers to bypass Constitutional rights and implement measures such as home quarantines based on what they define as a “national health crisis.”

Have we already seen the beginning of this with the recently created public fear over Ebola?

Is Ebola truly a public health crisis in the United States? To date, there have only been a handful of cases and a couple of deaths. There are probably more than a dozen other viruses in the U.S. causing far more illnesses and deaths. (e.g. see: As Enterovirus D68 Deaths Increase, Are Vaccine Contaminants to Blame?)

Could the fear in the public largely being created through the mainstream media (and even a few in the alternative media) be setting the stage for mass vaccination programs for Ebola? Could such a vaccination program become mandatory with threats of home quarantines?

Health Impact News public health writer John Thomas recently analyzed the risk to Ebola in the United States, and compared it to the 1976 Swine Flu hoax which brought about a mass vaccination program in which the vaccine killed more people than the virus did.

President_Ford_receives_a_swine_flu_inoculation

The pharmaceutical industry convinced President Gerald Ford to give them legal immunity from the Swine Flu vaccine which was rushed to market in 1976, and to lead the PR campaign to convince Americans to get the vaccine. More people died from the vaccine than from the flu.

Health Impact News recently reported how US Department of Health and Human Services provided “a gift to manufacturers of prospective vaccines meant to protect patients against the Ebola virus: Protection from legal liability.” (See: US Government Gives Future Manufacturers of Ebola Vaccines Free Pass from Legal Liability.)

Wayne Rhode, author of The Vaccine Court: The Dark Truth of America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, commented:

My concerns, and there are many, that the Sec’y of HHS now has power to declare any vaccine manufacturer IMMEDIATELY indemnified for their products. The normal course is to submit for approval process thru legislative, executive, and public review.

The Sec’y of HHS actions on the coattails of the PREP Act of 2005 (Bush) and modifications in 2013 (Obama) clearly allow the narrative of terrorism to be used as the rationale for these decisions. The original scope was the concern over weaponizing anthrax by our enemies. And that is a legit concern.

Now, the circle has drawn complete. Ebola vaccine now, then any type of flu vaccine in the future.

With the PREP Act and modifications, vaccine exemptions and personal liberty are now thrown out of the window if an emergency is declared by the Executive Branch for a pandemic and NOW, a terrorist attack.

Those who do not accept the vaccine, will be quarantined. For those who are vaccinated with the Ebola vaccine and are injured, the path for compensation is NOT through the NVICP or Vaccine Court. It is through the super secret CounterMeasures Injury Compensation Program. No attorneys allowed, just you against the Sec’y of HHS. And we will not know how many people or the injuries.

Nurse Returning from Ebola Country Locked up in Quarantine Against her Will

To understand if the government truly does have the authority to quarantine a U.S. citizen against their will, we only need to look at the recent example of nurse Kaci Hickox who returned from West Africa where she had been treating Ebola patients. Kaci Hickox did NOT have Ebola. She was quarantined and confined to a tent with no running water or flushing toilet, against her will, simply because of the fear that she might have Ebola – a fear quite probably fostered by the mainstream media and the medical community.

After a huge public outcry, she was eventually released from confinement and allowed to go to her home, where she was quarantined for several weeks.

Could this same scenario be repeated in the future due to a compliant public who have been convinced that only vaccines can save them from some deadly pestilence or disease, and that those who are not vaccinated against that possible disease are a potential threat to public health, and therefore need to be confined and quarantined?

Not only is this a possibility, it is a probability, unless the public wakes up and understands that they are only getting one side of the vaccine story; and that soon the religious-like belief in vaccines could take away many of the Constitutional freedoms citizens of this country have enjoyed for more than 200 years.

Americans would do well to contemplate the idea that if one wishes to sell a pail of water, they are apt to start a fire.  They are busy counting thier boost in profits over the measles outbreak at Disney, and they are laughing at all of us all the way to the bank.  100 cases of measles does not constitute an epidemic, no one died, and all who contracted it  – many of them who had already had the vaccine which obviously failed – now have life-long immunity, but I am certain Merck’s analysts realized that the boost to sales from the general, duped population would far exceed the loss of 100 individuals who would no longer have need for their booster shots.

It all started with the well planned and coordinated implementation of the Patriot Act that so many people in this country sucked up as a means to “feel secure and safe”.  I’m pretty sure most people don’t know that their US Senators & Congresspeople never read the act before they signed it.  They too were sucked into the vortex of lies.  The PA has made everything possible.  We now have police states,  We have state laws being written by lobbyist, and not you state representatives because corporations have deep pockets and they buy people.  

“You know the great thing about Congressmen? Fifty, a hundred grand well spent will get one elected. But then once they’re in, the incumbency rate is over ninety-five percent! So you can get on average eighteen, twenty years use out of one of them. In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.”  Leverage: The Homecoming Job.

The same can be said about local & state officials.  

You’d think after it was obvious the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction ploy was a lie people would have awaken and realized that yes, the government will lie to you to the point of allowing people to die.  They call it collateral damage.  I call is government sanctioned killing. Now there is government sanctioned imprisonment.

I know about vaers and the govt picking up the tab for vaccine injuries but I’ve mentioned in discussions that vaccine manufacturers are immune from damages for their products but apparently that isn’t true?

Apparently if you don’t get the result you want in the vaccine court you’re free to file a civil suit? What’s the truth?
Thanks

The NVICP was established by Congress in 1986 to provide a compensation program administered by HHS for those with claims of vaccine-related injury or death.  The Trust Fund that provides compensation to the petitioner and their attorney is funded by a $ .75 levy on each vaccine administered in the US.  Current Balance is just shy of $3.5 billion dollars and growing.  The law and subsequent US Supreme Court ruling of Bruesewicz v Wyeth Labs in Feb 2011 prohibits most individuals from suing vaccine manufacturers for damages.  Now, if you receive a vaccine-related injury or worse, the exclusive remedy for damages is thru the Vaccine Court.  That is the reason why I wrote the book, The Vaccine Court – The Dark Truth of America’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Wayne, thank you for the reply.  I agree with you for the most part and avoid vaccines but for the sake of arming myself in discussions where I always seem to be on the defensive I’m going to question you a little further…

“Victims may file a civil suit against a vaccine manufacturer or the vaccine administrator given the following:

    The VICP petition is dismissed or ruled non-compensable.
    The VICP compensation offer is rejected by the claimant.
    The vaccine is not covered by VICP.”

From: http://www.healthofchildren.com/C/Childhood-Vaccine-Injury-Act.html

According to the act it seems that manufacturers aren’t exactly immune from liability.  Can you comment on that?

Thanks

It is true that you can sue a vaccine manufacturer regarding a vaccine that is not included in the Program.  That would include a shingles vaccine that is currently being marketed in the US.  Good luck trying to bring a suit.  It would be very costly for you to bring suit.  You would have to perform major research studies (think hundreds of thousands of dollars or more) plus more expenses.  I do believe that you need to reside in a state that does not have punitive tort reform measures.  Of the 15 petitions filed in the NVICP claiming shingles vax injuries, none of them have filed a civil suit.  Those injuries are not considered life threatening.  No death or GBS claims so far.

The two other conditions that you mention are still codified in statute, but are considered mute since Bruesewicz decision was handed down by US Supreme Court in Feb 2011.  The Court in a split decision, ruled that petitioners cannot file suit after exiting the Program for product design defect such as injury.  So the end result is the only way to file suit is for claims regarding fraud.  And an individual might have problems establishing legal standing.  The current discussion for fraud would be to hold Merck liable for fraud regarding clinical trial data problems for Gardasil.  But that would be the federal gov’t suing Merck for fraud.  And that will not happen.  I have spoken with a few large product liability firms that represented several thousand claims of injury from thimerosal prior to the establishment of the Omnibus Autism Proceedings.  Most of these claims were filed in state and fed courts in the late 1990’s.  And most of them were dropped after the ridiculous ruling of Leroy v HHS.  These law firms are not interested in spending millions to develop the necessary research studies for civil suits or class action suits.

Basically, until Bruesewicz is over ruled by an act of Congress, the NVICP is the exclusive remedy for vaccine injuries.  And our fed gov’t is racing to approve the shingles vax and a couple others so there is no exposure to vaccine manufacturers.

Wayne, A family member developed Guillen barre after a flu shot. At the time we didn’t know the two were related and I was to young to do the research. I’ve since discovered this but the 10 year eligibility with the vaccine court is long gone.  My loved one is permanently disabled, their quality of life is significantly reduced and their constant treatments are shortening their life.  Is there any course if action they can take?  Thanks for your help.

Wayne Rohde December 23, 2014 at 11:05 am

Horton.  First my sincere best wishes to you and your family having to deal with a vaccine-related injury.  The statute of limitations (SOL) for the NVICP is 3 years from the onset of injury or 2 years for death.   There is no legal recourse that can be taken regarding compensation in the NVICP for any injury or death case that the SOL has expired.  The only other option available that I can think of is to make sure the injured family member has the medical care via health insurance and/or medicaid and medicare.  This brings up another sticky issue about the NVICP.  Taxpayers are picking up the tab regarding ongoing and future medical needs when the program dismisses a petition on a technicality but not on its merits.      Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Your article is full of excellent details and resources for anyone to gather more information and validation. Congratulations and thank you.  I am sharing this on FB so others might have the details about vaccines, and more, how our governments have bought Big Pharmas lines.  Keep up your good work!

I need only examine our lives over the course of three years in West Virginia.  As mentioned in the article, West Virginia is one of two states which have only the medical vaccine exemption.  My son, who suffered vaccine reactions and has documented allergies to vaccine ingredients, had THREE medical exemptions submitted over the course of THREE years in West Virginia to the appropriate health authorities, who politely let those exemptions sit idle in a health dept. office without an approval or a denial.  Coming in to this with a background in social work and education, I advocated for him on every front in order to access the school system without more vaccines.  
 
Over the course of those three years, without the full list of mandatory vaccines in West Virginia, he was excluded from public school, excluded from special education services, and I was given certain choices:   
1) forced homeschooling 
2) vaccinate him in order to access a ‘free’ and appropriate public education in WV despite the dangers pointed out by three doctors (one an allergy specialist, another a geneticist, and another a general practitioner)  
3) leave the State in order to have his right to a free and appropriate public education honored without more harm to his health via vaccination.  

I say three years b/c this year, on August 19, 2014, following a revised health dept. interpretive rule (WV, like Michigan, also has a mandatory vaccine law and a rule–the rule being a bureaucratic interpretive rule in which health officials can add more vaccines as well as conditions that apply to the medical exemption) permitted me to go outside the county health dept. where a medical exemption is submitted for approval and take the exemption for review to the State Health Dept. in WV, my son’s medical exemption was approved.  

My son’s medical exemption (the third that had been submitted on the county level), in addition to numerous medical records and allergy laboratory reports, were hand-delivered by me on August 18, 2014, and inside of 24 hours, the state health commissioner provided an approval for his vaccine medical exemption.

In West Virginia, children’s medical exemptions, which must be written by a physician, can and are denied by health dept. bureaucracy.  Those same bureaucrats are protected by U.S. laws when vaccine reactions, up to and including death, occur.  Parents are placed between a rock and a hard place in these situations.  Do parents risk their child’s life in order to access a free and appropriate public education?  Do parents risk loss of employment and resources in order to homeschool?  Do you pack up and head off to a State where your child’s medical exemption WILL be honored or that has a religious or philosophical exemption? Do you leave your home, your job, your extended family in order to access the education and special education services that your child needs?  Do you remain quiet while your freedoms are being trampled or do you SHOUT?  

I chose to homeschool versus my son being harmed by further vaccination.  I chose to give up professions in social work and public school teaching in order to honor and uphold his health, life, and safety.  I chose to be the loud squeaky wheel as I took our story to the media, our elected officials, the governor’s office, the attorney general’s office, the state health dept, and further.  

Today, my son has an approved permanent medical exemption to all WV vaccine requirements.  For the first time in his life, he attended a public school in West Virginia on August 20, 2014 at the age of 8 years old,, without more vaccines.

Tell me–Who is the threat here?  A child with known allergies to ingredients in vaccines who was denied an education b/c he could not tolerate more vaccines without harm to his health–or a government on steroids that is Hell-bent on eroding American freedoms at break-neck speed?  You answer. 

Beyond my son’s story, we have another problem here in America in regard to mandatory vaccinations for school entry.  We have a problem with vaccinations in general.  Vaccination has never been proven to be safe or effective.  Never Proven.  The studies that paint them as peaches and cream–look at who funds those studies.  Wink-wink.  Look no further than the recent mumps outbreaks in the National Hockey League and various colleges, occurring primarily in the vaccinated population.  We don’t have to blink to notice that the flu vaccine efficacy rate is LAUGHABLE.  It’s a great CON GAME.  

Here’s how the con game works:  Market a product or products that do not produce their proposed results of preventing disease, pass laws that protect the manufacturers of those faulty products, and then mandate them to every child in America who attends school.  Then set up a vaccine kangaroo court to demean and degrade families who come to it after vaccine injury and death, the same court that has paid out some 3 billion dollars in compensation for vaccine injuries and death.  More elements to this game, but one gets the picture.  BIG CON GAME. 

Where does this end?  Or does it continue?  You decide.

Love the article, well written and should serve as a warning to everyone out there.  After the fraud of vaccines was exposed to the world, these “elected” officials are still trying to force vaccines on people, knowing full well they do more harm than good.  People need to ask themselves why.  Another thing, people need to learn the difference of what it is to be an American National as opposed to a US CITIZEN.  A huge difference between being considered a legal person, (i.e. a corporation) bound by all codes, rules, and regulations set forth by government officials and a natural person, (i.e. living human being) not bound by the codes, rules, and regulations.  Learn the difference and refuse to follow and be bound by their lies and fraud.
