Dozens of articles have been published in the last few weeks, glorifying the removal of vaccine exemptions. The state of Vermont, whose state motto is, “Freedom and Unity,” voted 85 to 57 to remove the state’s philosophical exemption. Other states under heavy fire are California, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maine. Why should we have to fight so hard to protect our children and our own body from medical tyranny? But the introduction of the Vaccinate All Children Act of 2015 by Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) has really got me going. My biggest concern is a sneak attack, like the introduction of … Continue reading →

While it appears that the recent measles hysteria pushed a button that rocketed nearly all 50 states to introduce vaccine bills simultaneously, calling to restrict and/or remove vaccine exemptions for children, the plan has actually been evolving for a long time. The flurry of legislative actions are rooted in the Healthy People guidelines which began 35 years ago. In 1976, Congress created The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) to coordinate disease prevention and health promotion efforts across the United States. Three years later, Surgeon General Julius B Richmond chronicled the state of health in America, then defined … Continue reading →

It continually breaks my heart that people have to personally experience a severe vaccine injury – or observe a serious reaction in someone they love  – before they wake up to the absolute truth: vaccines can and do cause harm. They have heard the arguments and the stories from others. They ignored the pleas about risks and poo-pooed the concerns about vaccine reactions put forth by concerned friends. Instead, they trusted their uninformed pediatrician or caved under the pressure of their badgering RN mother-in-law. And now, they are left holding the bag, so to speak: a terrible tragedy and a … Continue reading →

A few weeks ago, Ohio Legislators introduced SB121,  a bill that would add the meningitis vaccine to the school schedule. The effort was spearheaded by Senator Cliff Hite (R, Findlay), who lost a niece to meningitis 16 years ago. Today, I learned that 12 of 33 members co-sponsored the bill, a bad thing for those who oppose this legislation. It is assumed that lay people will vote to pass the bill, with little opposition. Even though Ohio has a philosophical exemption, there is no guarantee that this right to refuse will remain intact. With 110 bills submitted in 36 states … Continue reading →

The school year is winding down. Those ending their junior year are planning summer trips to college campuses and most seniors are gearing up to head off for college this fall. Over the last few years, much has been written about the cost of this next-step education. In its most recent survey of college pricing, the College Board reports that the average fees for a 4-year, public state college – which includes tuition, room and board – was $18,943 for the 2014-15 academic year. For a public, out-of-state college, the price escalated to $32,763, and for private college? A whopping … Continue reading →
