We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

Ask the ACLU to Act to Put an End to Vaccine Waivers

Target: Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, American Civil Liberties Union
Sponsor: Anai Rhoads Ford
  • Signatures: 180
  • Goal: 10,000
  • Deadline: 2-6-2007
We are asking that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) take action against vaccination waivers. Parents should have the right not to vaccinate their children by simply saying "no". Those that refuse to vaccinate are currently forced into signing a waiver that has language which blames the parents and practically praises vaccine makers.

178 3:07 am PDT, Apr 4   Kathie Trauth 33478 United States I had my children vaccinated. But I wasn't aware of the harm they cause. Now that I have become more aware and try to stay all natural I will make sure my future grandchildren are protected from receiving these harmful drugs. unknown    
177 6:14 am PDT, Mar 27 Mrs. Jaime Gutshall 33418 United States I plan to selectively vaccinate and delay the vaccines until my child is older. My daughter had an allergic reaction and broke out with a rash all over her face and scalp after her 1st vaccine.    
176 5:11 pm PDT, Mar 26 Mrs. Jackie Sickels 33478 United States I was not aware of the problems with vaccines until now. It really concerns me that from my 6 yr. old to my 3 yr. the amount of required shots has tripled! No more vaccines will be given to my kids. My 6 year old and 3 year old both have ezcema that started as a rash two weeks after they each had their hep B vaccine. No, thank God!

169 11:05 pm PDT, Jul 14 Mrs. Cheryl Atwell 63088 United States Heck NO, parents have the right to say no. They are protecting their children from mercury which is the right action to take. The gov't has no right to get rich off of pharmaceuticals and push them on us. Say no. Clean up your vaccines and let the people know what these vaccines are made of and what ingredients are in them. If people knew that fetuses and mercury were ingredients they would not give them to their children.

162 7:37 am PDT, Mar 24   Anonymous 32216 United States I have not vaccinated ANY of my 2 children and don't ever plan to. I got an exemption for 1 already. And plan to get an exemption for the other as well as the one I have on the way! My daughter had a fever once & I took her to the doctor. They asked me had I vaccinated her and of course I said no. So later on I take a look at the doctors notes & he wrote that I was neglecting my child! Just because I hadn't gotten her any shots. This is despicable! WATCH OUT PEOPLE!! They never got a hold of my children. No.  
161 1:54 pm PDT, Mar 12 Mrs. S Lesh 98387 United States I had no choice at my child's birth. If I was offered, I would had said no to the Hep B shot. Child had problems with the Pertussis. No

157 7:46 am PST, Jan 10 Mrs. Mavis Schlichtmann 02536 United States chose not to after careful research 23 years ago and did not vaccinate any of my 5 children who are all very healthy indeed! It is getting absolutely ridiculous that the drug companies have been able to sell the world on vaccines when they have caused more harm than good. Please educate! We should not have to justify our decisions to anyone, including the goverment who is mostly bought out by the drug companies anyway! Just sickening to me! didn't let them have the chance yes

Ask the ACLU to Act to Put an End to Vaccine Waivers

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).

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).

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.
