As you read this work and put its principles into practice, there are two

basic axioms you never want to forget. They are the rock upon which all your

actions are based.

1.

Nobody, anywhere or any time and under any circumstances has the right or

power in this country to immunize you or your children against your will and

conviction. If they attempt to do so, you can legally charge them with

**assault with a deadly weapon** and have the full resources of our laws behind

you.

 

At all times in attempting to avoid unwanted immunization, you have the Law

of the Land behind you. Those who would try to vaccinate you against your

will are on very shaky ground. Into every compulsory immunization law in

America

are written legal exceptions and waivers which are there specifically to

protect you from the attempted tyranny of officialdom. It is not only your

right, but your obligation to use them, if this is what your conscience tells

you.

Article I

In all your contacts with any member of the school, public health, or legal

establishment, always remain calm, courteous, and humbly reverent toward

their position. You are only asking of them that which the law duty binds them

to

give you. There is no reason, or advantage, to be gained by antagonizing

them.

Most of these officials believe they are discharging their trust as outlined

by law. If they are overstepping the law, then you must very diplomatically

bring the true facts to their attention, but without attempting to belittle

them.

The more you can preserve their ego, the more easily and quickly you are

likely to get what you desire - a waiver of immunization.

Rule No. 1: Do not harass, belittle, or antagonize officials unnecessarily.

Article 2

All compulsory laws concerning vaccination (including the military) contain

exceptions and waivers. It is these protections placed in the laws that you

may legally use to exclude yourself and your children. Surprisingly, these

exceptions were placed there, not for your sake (although you may take

advantage

of them), but for the protection of the establishment.

How is this? Let us assume that these exceptions were not there and everyone

was actually forced to be immunized. Should a child die or become mentally

or physically disabled, the parent would have the perfect case to sue the

doctor, the school, the health department, and even the state legislature for

enormous damages.

Since they allowed no exceptions, they must accept full responsibility for

all the adverse consequences of the law.

However, if exception waivers are placed in the law, the responsibility is

then transferred back to the parent. If a child should be injured by

immunization, the officials can say, " Well, the parent should have exempted him

if

they thought there was any danger. "

Therefore, there is in truth no such thing as a compulsory vaccination law

in this country. They are ALL, in essence, voluntary. The problem is that

practically no one in authority will let you know this fact.

Rule No. 2: There are no compulsory vaccination laws. All are voluntary, and

you are held responsible for the adverse results upon you or your children.

Article 3

While all immunization laws have exceptions you can use, the wording in each

state differs, and you must know the exact wording for your state to make

the proper request of waiver. This information can be obtained in one of two

ways.

1. Go to the reference section of your local library- look in the State

Statute Revised Law Book under Public Health Law or Communicable Disease

sections. The list of immunization requirements will appear first and then the

exemptions will be given. Usually one or two provisions will be listed: either

on religious or medical grounds or both.

2. You may call or write your state representative and ask for a copy

of the immunization laws in your state. Making this available is part of his

job, and it will be sent promptly.

Rule No. 3: Know your own state law so that you can conform to its exact

requirements for exemption.

Article 4

There are two basic reasons for exception - medical or religious. Which one

you choose will often depend upon the wording of the law in your state and

your personal convictions.

We shall discuss medical exemption first. While laws do vary, nearly all

states require that a note or certificate of waiver be submitted by a physician

licensed in the state of residence. In some areas where states are small and

people continually travel from one to another for business, a statement from

a physician in a contiguous state will be accepted.

In this letter it is usually necessary to state the reason for the requested

waiver and the length of time it should extend. Many laws limit all such

letters to a school year and they must be renewed each fall.

The two most valid reasons for medical waiver are *the fear of allergic

reaction in a sensitive child* and *to prevent possible damage to a weakened

immune system.* Both of these can occur in a child who has been immunized, and

since no one but the physician and the parent will be held responsible for

their consequences, it is up to them to protect the child.

It is possible that some states may require the letter from an M.D. or D.O.,

but many will allow an exemption letter from a chiropractor if it is

courteously and properly written, as outlined above.

Rule No. 4: Medical waivers are always valid but must be written to fit each

state law and often need to be renewed annually.

Article 5

The foregoing may work for school exemptions, but are there any such waivers

in the Armed Forces? Yes. All branches of the Service provide *immunization

waivers.*

Again, if they did not you could sue them for millions of dollars if a

reaction occurred from their immunizations. Because of these waiver provisions,

you become responsible if you react.

When you first sign up or enlist, you must state your objection to the

vaccinations and tell whether it is *religious conscience* or medical reasons,

such as allergies or a low tolerance to medication of any kind. If you do not

show objection at this time, you have given the military the right to do what

they will with you.

If there is any difficulty, the same rules apply here as in the school

program. Never forget, even though you may be in the Service, no one has the

right

to immunize you against your will. You do not give up your constitutional

rights when you join the Armed Forces.

Rule No. 5: The rules that govern school vaccination exemption also apply to

the military. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. They do not know, or are

hiding, the facts of the law.

Article 6

What about international travel? May I go around the world without

vaccination?

The World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva grants American visitors the

right to REFUSE shots when traveling internationally. However, if an area you

wish to enter is infected, you may be detained until the public health

servant gives you the *go* (at his discretion).

Thousands travel world-wide each year without shots - so you may if that is

your choice. Many of our co-workers have traveled over much of the world and

have never taken any immunizations, nor were they ever detained.

It would be wise to request a copy of Foreign Rules and Regulations, Part

71, Title 42, on immunization when you receive your passport. Never forget the

basic rule, **No one will vaccinate you against your will because by doing so

they assume full responsibility for the consequences both legal and

medical.**

Rule No. 7: You may travel wherever you wish in the world without

vaccination. The worst that can happen is that in very rare circumstances you

may be

detained temporarily.

Some Important Details

The above seven articles constitute all the basic rules. However, there are

many important little **tricks of the trade** to having your legal requests

honored. These will now be discussed.

While waivers and exemptions are written into all laws on immunization, most

public health officials, doctors, and especially school officials are loathe

to discuss their existence when questioned, and rarely, to our knowledge,

volunteer such information.

A top Philadelphia school official was on the radio with the unequivocal

statement, " NO SHOTS, NO SCHOOL.**

This statement is of course completely counter to state law, with which

presumably he is familiar. Such unwarranted dogmatism is common in the people

you

will encounter. Once the end of their legitimate authority has been reached,

they will use their next most powerful weapon - INTIMIDATION.

They will threaten to keep your child out of school, take him from you, or

send you to jail. These are all idle threats because they can do none of these

thing, if you follow our simple instructions.

The basic rules have been given to you, but there are a few important

details to be considered if the officials start on this course of unlawful

intimidation.

1. You must send a letter to the school to inform the education

officials of your stand. A phone call is not legal. It can be a note from your

doctor, minister, or a notarized letter from you stating your sincere

objections

to the immunization. If you do not do this and fail to have your child

immunized, it could be construed as negligence on your part and in some states

there is a possibility of legal action against you.

2. If the school should refuse to honor your letter, request that they

give you a statement in writing outlining their reasons for refusal. If they

won't, their refusal is legally invalid, and your letter stands; they must

enroll your child. If they do (they rarely will) they take the risk of

incriminating themselves, especially if they are acting contrary (as is common)

to

what is specified in the law concerning your rights for exemption. Remember

they are on tenuous ground, not you. They are your servants, you are not their

servant. If worst comes to worst and you have a very knowledgeable official

who writes you a refusal and states accurately the lawful reasons for refusal,

he will also in a negative way tell you what the accepted exemptions are, and

then you can go about meeting them, by one of the routes suggested in this

handout.

3. Child neglect is the one legal point you want to avoid at all costs.

No legal parent or guardian can be charged with neglect unless he shows

complete lack of concern or action to be more informed. Stripped of legal

jargon,

this simply means that if you can show that you have investigated the

situation, have come to a specific decision concerning immunizations, and have

informed the authorities of the same, no neglect charge can be brought. Neglect

can be brought only when it can be shown that you have failed to have your

children immunized, not out of respect for their medical or spiritual

integrity,

but only because you were too concerned with other matters.

4. At times there may be a question of whether you have given or

withdrawn legal consent. Legal consent is dependent upon being properly

informed on

both the advantages and the risks in any choice or decision you make. In

other words, if a physician were to tell you that vaccination is perfectly safe

and effective to obtain your consent, such consent would not be legal because

he lied and you have not been properly informed. Conversely, it could be

argued that non-consent is not legal if you are not fully informed about the

risks and advantages of immunizations.

5. What do I do if everyone refuses to give me a waiver?

This would be an extremely rare circumstance. But should it happen, you are

not left without resources. Here is where we pull out one of our big guns.

Send notarized letters by certified mail to the vaccine laboratory which makes

the shot (ask your doctor for the address), to the doctor who is to

administer the shot, to your school principal,to the school board, and to your

local

health department.

In these letters make it clear that since they have refused to give you a

duly requested waiver, you can no longer be held responsible for what may

happen to your child if they force these shots upon him. You then state that

you

will allow immunization if each will present you with a written signed

guarantee of safety and effectiveness of the vaccine and that they will consent

to

assume full responsibility for any and all adverse reactions that your child

may develop from the required shots. Of course none will give you such a

guarantee. They cannot do so because all vaccines are considered potentially

highly toxic. We have yet to hear of an instance of further harassment of

parents

after such letters have been sent.

 

That's about all that is needed to obtain the necessary exemptions for your

children. All that has been said in this last section (1 to 5) is also

applicable to the military and international travel, if required.

Potpourri of Ammunition

**As long as each individual who opposes vaccines has sincere objections,

states them in writing, and signs his name - it is considered legal and proper

action and must therefore be honored.**

**Since many medical controversies exist surrounding immunization, drugs,

and various other medications, it mandates that each individual have the right

to control his own decisions and freedom of choice; anything less would be

contrary to the constitutional laws that protect the citizens' rights. **

**When you deal with school officials and lawyers, you are playing with

legal terminology - move the wrong words around and you get hung.** The

terminology used in this booklet has worked before and should work again.

**It is important to state your objections in such a way that it complies

with your state's exemption provisions. They must then accept your request; if

they do not, they are breaking their own law.** That is why it is absolutely

essential that you know your own state law word for word before submitting

your objection.

**According to CDC (the federal Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta,

Georgia), physicians are required to first inform their patients of the risks

involved before they consent to vaccines.** If they do not do so, it is prima

facie evidence of deceit or negligence on the part of the physician.

This regulation by the federal government would also seem to assume that the

patient has the right to refuse if he feels that the risks are too great. If

this is so, is not the federal government on record as supporting voluntary

immunization and, by obvious implication, against state-enforced compulsory

immunization?

Should you ever have to go to court, or what is more likely, to appear

before a *kangaroo* court of school and health department officials, here is

some

class A evidence you might find useful to mention.

* No vaccine carries any guarantee of protection from the laboratory

that produced it or the doctor who administered it.

* The U.S. military allows no-nonsense *immunizations waivers.*

* There is NO FEDERAL LAW on immunizations. They don*t dare. Their

lawyers know the consequences.

* Your rights have been infringed upon by officials attempting to use

force against your will.

Most state officials like a nice, stress-free job. When you send in your

objections and refuse to fit their ordered world by not having your children

immunized, you make waves.

This rocks their quiet existence, and there are only two ways their life can

become orderly again: either by forcing you to their will or acquiescing to

yours. What you must do to obtain an early waiver is to make the latter the

easiest path for them.

At first, however, an attempt will usually be made to bend you to their will

by some form of intimidation. Many uninformed parents give in to this tack,

and so it is tried again and again.

If you are adequately informed, as a reader of this publication should be,

you will let the officials know in no uncertain terms that you understand your

rights under the law and will not stand for any such shilly-shallying.

Invariably, once they discover you are adamant and acquainted with the state

law,

your waiver will be rapidly forthcoming.

An Acknowledgment

The greatest part of the material on the first four pages is taken from the

work of Mrs. Grace Girdwain, of Burbank, Illinois. Our staff has rearranged

and edited the information, but we wish the full credit for its existence to

go to this courageous woman who has for twelve years worked arduously, without

compensation, to help her fellow Americans obtain their legal rights.

The following is an example of the state of Illionois law (where I live)

relating to immunizations. Illinois, like most states has no philosophical

objection, but does have a religious one.

Illinois Administrative Code Title 77: Public Health

Chapter I: Department of Public Health

Subchapter i: Maternal and Child Health

Part 665 Child Health Examination Code

Subpart E: Exceptions

Section 665.510 Objection of Parent or Legal Guardian

Parent or legal guardian of a student may object to health examinations,

immunizations, vision, and hearing screening tests, and dental health

examinations for their children on religious grounds. If a religious objection

is made,

a written and signed statement from the parent or legal guardian detailing

such objections must be presented to the local school authority.

General philosophical or moral reluctance to allow physical examinations,

immunizations, vision and hearing screening, and dental examinations will not

provide a sufficient basis for an exception to statutory requirements.

The parent or legal guardian must be informed by the local school authority

of measles outbreak control exclusion procedures per IDPH rules. The Control

of Communicable Diseases (77 Ill. Adm. Code 690) at the time such objection

is presented.

Section 665.520 Medical Objections

a) Any medical objections to an immunization must be:

1) Made by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches

indicating what the medical condition is.

2) Endorsed and signed by the physician on the certificate of child health

examination and placed on file in the child's permanent record.

b) Should the condition of the child later permit immunization, this

requirement will then have to be met. Parents or legal guardians must be

informed of

measles outbreak control exclusion procedures when such objection is

presented per Section 665.510.
