Like It or Not, Americans May Now Receive Forced Immunizations

 

 

E-mail to a friend

 

The controversial Homeland Security Act was recently approved

by the Senate and President Bush. What does this mean for Americans? It means

that, if one man deems it necessary, we can all now be forced to receive

immunizations -- no personal, religious or medical exemptions allowed -- and

refusing to accept them is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Moreover, as it

stands the bill protects pharmaceutical companies from potential liability in

vaccine-related injury lawsuits.

 

The bill was passed under the guise of necessity for

protecting the population from impending bio-terrorism threats, and with a

promise that the special interest conditions, such as the one relating to

pharmaceutical companies above, would be revised early next year.

 

The concern is that corporate interests are overwhelmingly

influencing legislation in an already turbulent, post-9/11 environment, raising

the questions of whose interests homeland security is serving, and does it leave

the public to fend for themselves?

 

Vaccinations were already an unsettling topic, even before the

passing of this new bill, with one of the most disconcerting aspects being the

association of autism with pediatric vaccinations. The number of cases of autism

in the U.S. tripled in the 90s, around the same time researchers discovered that

Thimerosal, a preservative found in many infant vaccines, contained levels of

mercury that were above those allowed by Environmental Protection Agency

guidelines.

 

Though the vaccines contained enough toxic mercury to cause

neural damage in children, many medical practitioners denied the association.

However, in 1999 the FDA recommended that Thimerosal be removed from vaccine

formulas, which raised doubts about the vaccines’ safety and created some public

and political support against pharmaceutical companies.

 

The recent bill makes it so that victims of mercury poisoning,

Gulf War Syndrome, cancers and the other slew of illnesses potentially linked to

vaccinations will have no legal recourse against the pharmaceutical companies

that produced the vaccines.

 

A related bill that also potentially limited the freedom of

Americans, the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA), was passed in

December 2001. This law gave state legislatures the right to vaccinate people,

enforce quarantines, seize and destroy property without any compensation and

ration medical supplies, food and fuel in emergency situations.

 

As of July 2002, 22 states have rejected or stalled the law

while 16 states and the District of Columbia have passed all or parts of it. In

states where the law was passed, citizens will be charged with a crime if they

refuse vaccinations.

 

The new Homeland Security Act takes the choice of whether

vaccinations are beneficial or harmful away from the individual. This violation

of freedom takes away our right to decide what is best for our own bodies and

leaves it in the hands of the federal government, and the special interest

groups that potentially control it.

DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT:

E-mail to a friend

 

So is the situation completely hopeless? Never. In fact, not

even close in this case.

 

 

As the article states, the U.S. Senators who approved Homeland

Security made “a promise that the special interest provisions … would be revised

early next year.” These include the provisions (otherwise known as “pork”) in

the bill that let pharmaceutical companies off the hook for the great damage

their vaccines may have done, and that eliminates your rights to refuse

vaccinations for medical, personal or religious reasons.

 

 

So what can you do right now?

 

 

Contact both of your state Senators, multiple times if you so

choose, and remind them how important it is that they keep their word and revise

these provisions in early 2003!

 

 

To enhance your knowledge, you can also search this site for a

long list of stories about the danger of vaccines, such as this Update on

Mercury Poisoning from earlier in 2002, or you can consider the " The Danger of

Vaccines, and How You Can Legally Avoid Them” audio tape from a discussion I

hosted with nationally renowned vaccine expert Dr. Sherri Tenpenny.

 

 

But by all means, contact your Senators and tell them to keep

their promise!
