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.â€

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?â€

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.â€

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.â€

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 VACCINESâ€.
