Nearly ALL Children Can Qualify for the Religious Vaccine Exemption

http://www.mercola.com/2000/dec/10/vaccine_exemption.htm

 

There are, I believe, 19 states that currently allow a philosophical

objection to vaccinations for school admission. Thanks to the incredible groups

like

the National Vaccine Information Center http://www.909shot.com/ , it is likely

more states may be added. Texas is likely to make the total 20 in the near

future.

 

However, 48 states (all but Mississippi and West Virginia) allow for a

religious exemption. There has been a supreme court ruling on this issue which

provides broad interpretation of the meaning of religious exemption.

 

A parent's religious " beliefs " are sufficient to qualify for the religious

exemption. The " belief " is defined as a faith that occupies a place in their

lives parallel to that held by the orthodox belief in God or any sincere

religious beliefs which are based upon a power or being to which all else is

subordinate and on which all else is ultimately dependent

 

They qualify if they believe that not giving the vaccines is what they must

do to follow God's will for them in fulfilling their role as responsible

parents. Their child's immune system is a creation of God and that God has given

their child and that to vaccinate would violate their faith in what God created.

 

The parents do NOT have to be part of a recognized religious organization.

You don't have to join any church, you can be any religion at all. But if they

are a part of an established religion (Catholic, Protestant, Islam, etc.) they

can still have their own perceptions of what it means to follow God's will

which may be counter to what that organization states.

 

The case is established with legal precedent at the US Supreme Court level.

(United States Supreme Court in Sharon Levy vs. Northcourt cases)

 

The important rule here is that if a school district denies religious

exemption they are violating your federally protected civil rights under the

first

amendment by what is called state action and under federal law you are entitle

to money damages.

James Filenbaum, Attorney at Law, Presented at the 2nd International Vaccine

Conference

Dr. Mercola's Comment: This information is invaluable for those who are

convinced that, after careful review of the evidence, that they should not give

vaccines to their children. The first link below discusses in detail some of the

approaches you will need to follow to obtain the exemption that is allowed in

48 of the states.

 

You will need to integrate the information that Mr. Filenbaum has compiled

above and you should have a solid stance to take that no school district should

be able to over ride. Of course the school district always has the choice of

refusing it, but they will have severe consequences for doing so.

 

Usually this requires obtaining an attorney, which can be very costly. In the

next month I will be providing you with some incredibly inexpensive options

that will allow you to hire outstanding law firms on retainers for $25 a month.

More details will follow in the next few weeks.
