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.  If a child should 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. The schools will make you think that in order for your child to attend he or she must be vaccinated. The reason for this is the schools receive funding for each child vaccinated.

If you are interested in a religious exemption these are a few bible verses used for obtaining the exemption.  You do not need to quote them.  All that is required is for you to sign the form.

Corinthians 3:16-17 and Deuteronomy 14:3 and 24:21 warns us not to defile the temple of God, our bodies, with anything unclean. Lev 21:5 warns us to not make cuttings in your flesh (originally a small cut was made on the skin for vaccination). Too numerous to mention are the passages relating to the sanctity of blood. If we believe God is our creator and He created our immune system, why would we think we could do a better job by injecting it with poison? How could this be His plan? Here is an excellent article written on the subject by Kim Medlin. Also please watch this movie.

 There is no greater insult one can offer the poorly understood immune system of a young child, than to introduce directly into his or her body, the foreign proteins or diseased animal matter plus live viruses that compose modern vaccines.

Why Signing a Waiver to Avoid Vaccines Can Be Considered Abuse by Anai Rhoads Ford

15 November 2005
 

AnaiRhoads.org - Recently, the Washington post printed an article about vaccine waivers that could jeopardise your parental rights:

"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that doctors ask parents who refuse to vaccinate their children to sign a waiver indicating they are aware of the risks of refusal."

Note: Despite that vaccines have been linked to asthma, autism, diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome, the author implies that parents are being overly theatrical about the shots.

Know Your Rights

By endorsing this particular waiver, parents would essentially be signing an admittance of neglect and or "abuse" for refusing vaccines. The language contained in this waiver could put parents and caregivers in jeopardy down-the-line if they should ever find themselves in the courts due to their child's health problems, when confronted with child protective services, divorce, or just about any matter pertaining to that child that could be used against the parent(s). 
 
Please read any waiver provided by your child's doctor carefully before signing.  Instead, offer a formally written and signed letter that simply says that you do not wish to vaccinate your child. If you are unsure of the language in the waiver, buy some time by telling your doctor that you need to consult with a lawyer before signing it.

Know your rights - say no to vaccines. Your doctor will try to bully you - you have the right to refuse anything you feel is harmful to your child. If your doctor won't listen, go to another doctor who will. 
 
Check your State's laws regarding exemption. Most States will allow you to avoid vaccinations if you have a religious or ethical reason. However - keep in mind that it is your right not to disclose your faith or your full reasons for not wanting to vaccinate your child. 
 
Regarding School Admission

A signed document can and will be used as a legal document even in a public school. Unfortunately, private schools have a different set of rules not dictated  by the government.

Do Vaccines Work?

Example One:

According to a report printed by The Lancet (21/9/1991), a polio outbreak began in Oman between the years of 1988 and 1989. This is significant because a polio outbreak occurred despite the children being vaccinated prior to the outbreak. Curiously, the region with the highest attack rate had the 'highest' vaccine coverage, while the region with the lowest attack rate had the 'lowest' vaccine coverage.

Example Two:

Sweden abandoned the whooping cough vaccine in 1979. Why? Out of 5,140 cases of whooping cough in 1978, it was found that 84 percent had been vaccinated at least three times. You may find this report in the BMJ 283:696-697, 1981.

Pay-outs

More than $1.1 billion in claims have been paid by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to parents of children affected by vaccines. On average, each family received nearly a million dollars each. Sadly, the claims by the parents had to fit in the programme's extremely narrow definitions in order to qualify for compensation.

Naughty CDC

The CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee and its members get money from vaccine manufacturers.

They own stock in vaccine companies and get paid to conduct research.

As of 2003, the CDC has had 28 licensing agreements with companies and at least one university for vaccines.

Vaccines once endorsed by the CDC were pulled off the market after infants (and even some adults) had serious reactions. People had to die for the CDC to admit wrongdoing.

Why Your Doctor May Not Care

Your doctor gets paid by the companies that supply the vaccines for each and every vaccine.

A 1993 federal "Immunization Initiative" gave States more than $400 million in vaccine incentives and a $100 bounty for each child vaccinated with the shots the federal government recommended.

You should know that according to the February 1981 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 90 percent of obstetricians and 66 percent of pediatricians refused to take the rubella vaccine, and in 1990 a British survey showed that over 50 percent of doctors in the UK rejected the Hepatitis B vaccine. (British Med Jnl, 27/1/90).

The article, entitled "Feuding Over Vaccines" by Boodman, Sandra G., was printed in the
Washington Post on 08 November 2005 on page F1.

You might want to use this birth plan if you are going to be delivering in the hospital.

To my birth attendants:

As a mother, I understand and accept the fact that I am ultimately responsible for my own health and the health of my baby.  I have made every effort to gain the knowledge and information that I need to make informed decisions.  After a careful consideration of this knowledge as well as my own values and priorities, I have established some guidelines to help you care for me in a way which is not only the safest for me and my baby, but also honors my needs and beliefs about birth.

I have complete faith in my body's ability to give birth normally.  I believe my body was designed to give birth, and that it can do so with very little assistance.  I have prepared myself for what the birth experience will be like by taking classes and talking with mothers who have had a positive birth experience to find out what they did that was helpful.  I do not expect to have a short labor or to have no discomfort.  But I do expect to be allowed to labor in the way that is most helpful to me, even if that way is in conflict with routine procedures.  With help from my labor support person, I will require very little of your time and attention.

I have chosen a labor support person to be my birth advocate, and I authorize this person to see that my preferences as stated in this birth plan are carried out as closely as possible.  This person will also provide physical and emotional support throughout the whole process of labor and delivery.  If at any time a physician feels that medical conditions warrant an intervention into the birth process, I am willing to discuss the proposed intervention as well as the possible alternatives.

After discussing the situation, I will expect my final decision to be respected and honored, even if it is in opposition to the opinions of others.

The following guidelines are designed to help my birth attendants know what kind of birth experience I desire for myself and my baby.  No deviations should be made from this plan without my consent:

1.  I will not be separated from my support persons for any reason unless I request it.

2.  I will have no perineal shave-prep.

3.  My amniotic membranes will be allowed to rupture spontaneously

4.  Pelvic exams will be performed only at my request.

5.  Because of my belief that ultrasound is an unproven and possible unsafe technology, no electronic monitors or dopplers will be used.  Monitoring of fetal heart tones will be done through fetoscope only.

6.  I will be upright and active throughout my labor, walking as much or as little as I feel necessary, and assuming whatever position is most comfortable for me and helps assist the progress of labor.

7.  I will eat light, non-constipating foods during early labor and clear liquids during active labor, if desired.

8.  No drugs of any kind will be administered during the labor and delivery process.  I request that no offers for anesthesia be made to me by any doctor, nurse, or other hospital staff person.  In the event that a cesarean section becomes necessary, I will decide at that time what kind of anesthesia will be used.

9.  No episiotomy will be performed on me under any circumstances.  Perineal massage with oil, hot compresses, and perineal support will be used instead to prepare the perineal tissues to stretch.  In the event that tearing of these tissues seems likely, I would prefer to allow the tissues to tear rather than be cut.

10. In order to allow the perineal tissues time to fan out so that no tearing takes place, and in order to reduce the risk of damage to the muscles of the pelvic floor, I will allow the baby to descend through the birth canal slowly and without sustained pushing efforts from me.  Only exhale pushing will be used, and only when I feel the urge to do so.  As long as fetal heart tones are good, delivery will not be rushed, but allowed to occur slowly and naturally.

11. It is my choice to give birth in the squatting position because of the obvious advantages it offers.  If squat bars are not available, I will have two labor support persons with me to physically support me in this position while I give birth.  I will require very little help from doctors or nurses to give birth because the squatting position encourages proper rotation, as well as quick and painless expulsion of the baby.

12. During labor and delivery I will be using vocalization as one of my tools for coping with labor.  I find that it helps me to cope with the intensity of contractions while remaining totally relaxed.  Hospital staff need to be aware that these vocalizations are constructive and that I am not making them because I am in pain, am distress, or need assistance.

13.  It is my desire to receive no assistance of any kind with my birth unless I specifically ask for that assistance.  I am at the hospital only so that emergency help is available if necessary.  I will require no routine care of any kind.

14.  The delivery will take place in a quiet, respectful atmosphere with dimmed lights, soft music, and quiet, calm speaking if speaking is necessary.

15.  As soon as the infant is delivered it is to be placed on my chest and observed for APGAR there.  The infant will be allowed to nurse as desired so as to hasten the detachment and delivery of the placenta.

16.  If the body temperature of the baby is of concern, the baby will be placed skin-to-skin with me and a warmed blanket will be spread over us both.  At no time will the baby be separated from me and placed in a warmer.

17.  At no time will my baby be separated from me.  All newborn care will be done in the same room with me and preferably with the baby in my arms.

18.  Since I have been tested for Gonorrhea, and my husband and I are in a monogamous relationship, I prefer that no eye drops or ointment be used in my baby's eyes.

19. My baby will be given no substance by mouth other than my breastmilk or colostrum.  At no time will sterile water, glucose water, or formula of any kind be given.  The baby will be allowed to nurse on demand, and no rubber nipples or pacifiers will be given.  If the baby's blood sugar level is of concern, more frequent nursing will be encouraged, since maternal colostrum provides a healthier and more stable blood sugar level than processed glucose.

20.  When one gives birth in the squatting position, suctioning of the baby is rarely necessary due to the natural drainage of fluids.  If suction does prove to be necessary, deep suctioning of the infant will be done only if suction with a bulb syringe proves to be inadequate.

21.  I request that a warm Leboyer bath be provided within one hour after birth to allow the baby to make a smooth and comfortable transition into the world.  No soaps or disinfecting agents will be used to wash the baby, and vernix on his skin will be massaged into the skin rather than removed through washing.

22.  Absolutely no procedure will be performed on my baby without my authorization and I will be present for any procedure that is performed.

23.  The umbilical cord will not be cut until it has stopped pulsating, usually 3 to 4 minutes or longer.

24.  Vitamin K shot will not be given under any circumstances.  No hepatitis B shot. If the baby is a boy, there will be no circumcision.

25.  No PKU test will be administered in the hospital because the baby must nurse for at least two days before this is done.  It will be my responsibility to see that the test is performed by a pediatrician at a later time.
