How To Legally Say " NO " To All Vaccines!

Crusador Interviews Book Author & Acclaimed

International Vaccine Expert Dr. Sherri Tenpenny

March 20th 2009

 

 

Millions of Americans have come to distrust vaccines and mainstream

medicine’s vaccine agenda. There is a growing movement in this country

and around the world that questions the safety and effectiveness of all

vaccines for obvious reasons. Many childhood disorders such as autism,

ADD/ADHD, SIDS and others have been linked to vaccines. Thousands of

soldiers who served in the military have been severely disabled or in

some cases even died after receiving their mandated shots. Vaccines are

the most controversial subject in all of medicine.

 

The standard line heard from most parents once their eyes

are open to the risks of vaccines is, “How will I get my child into day

care or in school without their shots.” Those working in the healthcare

field or soldiers in the military are faced with similar questions.

 

To help educate the people further about how to legally

avoid all vaccines, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has put together a brand new book

that is absolutely necessary to have in your possession if you or a loved

one don’t want to vaccinate but are not sure how to get around it. As Dr.

Tenpenny says on the back cover of her book, “Saying No To Vaccines is

not intended to be a balanced view of vaccination literature. Pro-vaccine

information is readily accessible through the American Academy of

Pediatrics, the CDC, healthcare and government-sponsored organizations.

This book balances the debate.”

 

Below is a copy of an interview Crusador editor Greg Ciola

conducted with Dr. Tenpenny shortly after the release of her new

book.

 

Crusador: What was the impetus for writing your

new book “Saying NO To Vaccines”?

 

Parents needed a tool that did their homework for them. The

evidence is there to support their decision to not vaccinate; you just

have to do a little work to find it. Everyone seems to be so afraid of

“bugs” and their potential ability to make us sick. But the reality is

that we swim in “bugs” every day and we are not dropping over like

flies.. The only “bugs” we seem to obsess over are associated with

vaccines. Only two generations ago, measles, mumps and chickenpox were

normal experiences of childhood. Why we have complete fear of these

infections is media and money driven and unfounded.

 

If the focus of Public Health was on sleep, exercise, clean

water and safe, non-GMO food, we would have a healthy society without

vaccines…but we would not have billion dollar industries employing

millions of people to keep us “healthy.” The fact is, we are a very

UNhealthy society with vaccines, so the Public health and argument that

we must vaccinate ‘for greater good’ is a failure.

 

I put a large body of research into my first book, FOWL! and

my two DVDS, documenting the dangers of vaccination. “Saying No To

Vaccines” was the next logical step. It answers the question, “I’ve

decided not to vaccinate, now what do I do?”

 

Crusador: What are some of the issues you cover

in the book that aren’t covered in your two DVD’s “Vaccines: The Risks,

The Benefits, The Choices” and “Vaccines: What CDC Documents and Science

Reveal”?

 

There is very little overlap between Saying No to Vaccines

and the DVDs. The foundational premise of the book is to give answers

refuting the 25 most common arguments used to promote vaccination. For

example, parents are often told the vaccine-preventable diseases of

childhood can be serious and if their child is not vaccinated, their

child could die. I tell them how to refute that argument and give

documentation from the medical literature to demonstrate that statement

is nothing more than fear mongering. Parents are told by

pediatricians there is “no evidence that vaccination harms the immune

system” and there is “no evidence that vaccination can lead to chronic

disease.” I used the medical literature to prove the opposite is

true.

 

Crusador: What are the most common questions

you get about vaccines?

 

The most frequently-asked question I get is about

vaccination exemption, meaning, “How do I refuse the vaccine and still

get my kids into school or keep my job,” so by design a large part of the

book covers exemptions. I included a lot of detail on how to avoid

vaccinations for school situations, including college, professional

situations where a job may require certain vaccines, if you are in a

nursing home, foreign adoption, the military, even if you are

incarcerated. I have also included a chapter on frequently- asked

questions about vaccination. Saying No To Vaccines has an entire

section on “most frequently asked questions.”

 

Crusador: There is a huge divide in this

country between those who think you should vaccinate versus those who

feel you shouldn’t. The majority is still on the side of thinking that

vaccines are THE answer to long-term immunity. When you do speaking

engagements or radio interviews or simply talk to a pregnant woman about

the need to question the safety of vaccines further, how do you present

your information to make someone think twice?

 

Even though I strongly believe that vaccines cause more harm

than the “good” they supposedly do, it is important for people to see the

evidence of harm – from a scientific perspective – and not just take my

word for it. All of my information, every slide and every paragraph

in my book, is referenced from a highly reputable medical journal or from

the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC. People can see for themselves

the one-sided, biased view of the vaccine industry, promoting that

vaccines are “safe” and “protective.” Almost 100% of the time, once

people pull back the veil and see the rest of the story, they know that

vaccination is not what the drug companies claim it to be.

 

Crusador: Do you feel that there is such a

thing as a “safe” vaccine? If there isn’t, how do you counter the

mainstream medical mentality that vaccines may not be entirely without

risks, but those risks are far less than the risks we would face without

vaccines at all?

 

I really felt that parents needed strong answers for when

they decided to not vaccinate. Very few people are willing to say

something. The risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of the

disease. The “Green Our Vaccines” movement was partially behind the

reason I wrote this book. Many activists, people with very good

intentions, hedge and put their support behind “safer” vaccines which are

a chemical impossibility. People just need to SAY NO.

 

Crusador: Tell our readers a little more about

the exemption clauses you discuss in your book. The medical establishment

has done a terrific job of intimidating people into thinking they have to

take vaccines and yet, rarely if ever will you hear about the ways to

exempt yourself and family from taking vaccines.

 

A medical exemption is available in all 50 states but must

be recommended by a doctor. The exemption can be difficult to obtain and

often, it only excuses future vaccination with a shot that has already

caused a severe reaction.

 

There are three exemptions available in this country –

medical, religious and philosophical. As of now, 19 states accept a

philosophical exemption. It is the easiest of the three to use. You

request a form from the school nurse, state the reasons you don’t want to

vaccinate your child, sign it and give it to the school. Generally,

that’s it. However, different school systems have different rules. Some

require the form annually, some require both parents to sign the

exemption form, some require it to be notarized and so forth. You

can find links to your state laws and more information by going to

www.DrTenpenny.com .

 

Religious exemptions are available in all other states

except West Virginia and Mississippi (which only have medical

exemptions). Religious exemptions can be tricky and in some states, very

difficult to obtain and defend. I often recommend that people consult an

attorney for this type of exemption. Some states, such as New York

and New Jersey, are difficult. New York has been known to use something

called a “sincerity test.” Parents are literally interrogated by an

attorney representing the school district regarding how sincere their

religious assertions are for refusing a vaccine. A panel then decides if

you are sincere enough in your beliefs to allow you to refuse vaccination

on religious ground. I find these tactics absolutely appalling and akin

to Inquisitioners of the Middle Ages.

 

Crusador: Where do you see the whole

pro-vaccine movement going and what threats to our Constitutional

freedoms do you see coming down the pike?

 

The dogged determination of those who oppose vaccines, and

in particular mandatory vaccination, has gained traction at a grass roots

level and garnered a lot of attention from the media. I feel that

we have the pro-vaccinators on the ropes. Our arguments are hard to deny

and the global autism epidemic can no longer be ignored. Pro-vaccinators

are using manipulation, threats and fear tactics, trying to convince

everyone that vaccines are not only safe but absolutely necessary.

I see the vaccine industry like a wounded Tyrannosaurus Rex, gnashing its

teeth and flailing its ugly head. It won’t die quickly and it will

probably get worse before it gets better.

 

Crusador: There are many people in this

country, myself included, who are concerned that there is an evil agenda

to mass vaccinate the entire planet in the event of a health emergency.

Do you feel that there are genuine reasons to be concerned and what might

we expect to see unfold in an emergency?

 

Executive orders and recommendations from the Department of

Health and Human Services (HHS) have been written that stop just short of

allowing government-enforced mandatory vaccination for anthrax, smallpox

and bird flu. The only way to change these policies is by standing

together and boldly saying no.

 

Crusador: Are you still confident that with

enough knowledge about the risks and dangers of vaccines enough people

will wake up and say NO before Big Pharma forces its will upon the

populace?

 

I’m not sure. People tend to be sheep – Americans in

particular. Look what we have allowed a small number in the White House

and 545 people in Congress to do to our country. And even those

people who want to effect a change have little time and few resources to

do so. No one wants to stand out, speak up and challenge authority.

Whatever happened to those bra-burning activists of the 1960s? However,

people really are involved now, more than ever. It only takes a small,

vocal minority to really make a difference. As stated years ago by

Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed

citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever

has.”

 

Crusador: Thank you for your time, Sherri.

These are excellent answers. I encourage everyone reading this interview

to make every effort they can to get a copy of your new book and share it

with their friends and loved ones because it is a great tool to give the

average person confidence to “SAY NO TO VACCINES”.
