Introductory Note:
.
I was in Trenton this morning (16 March 2015) to make a statement before the NJ Assembly Health Committee.
A-1931 would compel religious expression in order to “qualify” for a religious exemption to vaccination. Current law simply relies on the parent’s written assertion that the parent has a religious objection. The new law would burden religious expression by compelling speech. Under the Constitution there can be no religious test, no govt forbidding of any religious speech — and certainly no govt compelling of religious expression. If parents can be compelled to explain their religious beliefs, some bureaucrat would be empowered to deny them the free exercise of their religious beliefs. With only one committee member voting to uphold religious liberty, after “listening” to several hundred people speaking against the bill, and three for it (Paid lobbyists? One of whom was photographed sleeping in the committee room) the Committee reported the bill to the whole Assembly for consideration. The battle moves there. RF

 Vaccine Objecting Moms Waiting to Be Heard

Honorable Committee Members,
.
I am a life-long New Jersey resident. I graduated from Rutgers College and Rutgers Law School and practiced law in New Jersey from 1971 until my retirement in 2006. I have been an ordained minister since 1974 and I am both the President of the Institute for Health Research and a trustee of the Natural Solutions Foundation, an international NGO focused on health and health freedom. I come before you as a private person. I oppose A-1931.

Assembly Health Committee Hearing

In recent weeks many concerned communicants are coming to me to talk about vaccination of themselves and their children. They are deeply conflicted, fearing for their children and wanting to do the right thing. Many of them have serious moral and philosophical scruples which lead them to religious conscientious objection to vaccination. In providing ministerial counseling to these people I often discuss the obligations of a parent to their child and the ethics of taking risks with the child. Some parents feel they have a religious, moral obligation to protect their child from known risks. They believe they cannot challenge what they see as the child’s God-given immune system without doubting their faith and denying their belief in a beneficent God.

I assert the Right of Informed Consent, enshrined in the First Amendment, the Helsinki Declaration and the AMA Code of Ethics, which, by definition, necessarily includes the Right to refuse any treatment. Without that right to refuse any treatment, Informed Consent is meaningless, a mere mockery.

I personally stand with moral exemplar Mahatma Gandhi who famously wrote “Conscientious objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.”  And that is the intensity of religious belief that motivates the admittedly small percentage of New Jersey families as well as non-parents who choose not to vaccinate for religious reasons. I come here today to ask you to resist further burdening the religious expressive association rights of these families and of those who see these rights for themselves.

What you are being told by the high-powered, CDC (tax payer) funded vaccine mandate supporters is simply disinformation. The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) speaks for bureaucracy, not for free health choice. [1]

Last year a New Jersey administrative court judge awarded a nurse compensation after being fired when she refused vaccination on philosophical grounds, ruling that the religious exemption should be understood to reach all such personal beliefs that are as important to the person as deeply held religious beliefs are to the believers. To do otherwise would be to put the First Amendment into jeopardy. [2]

This is the correct view of the law of vaccine conscientious objection, and any attempt by the legislature to burden the free exercise of religion will be reversed by the Courts, as violations of expressive association rights.

Instead of restricting religious liberty, if you believe you must pass a law, I urge the legislature to adopt extensions of the exemption law, to codify the case law that protects philosophical and religious conscientious objection to vaccination and any mandated medical treatment.

In 1903 the North Carolina Supreme Court wisely observed, in State v Biggs, (46 SE Reporter 401): “Medicine is an experimental, not an exact science. All the law can do is to regulate and safeguard the use of powerful and dangerous remedies, like the knife and drugs, but it cannot forbid dispensing with them. When the Master, who was himself called the Good Physician, was told that other than his followers were casting out devils and curing diseases, he said, ‘Forbid them not.'” (p.405)

The Constitutional restrictions on governmental interference with religious liberty and expressive association are strong.

The religious beliefs of each person must be respected: “…neither this court nor any branch of this government will consider the merits or fallacies of a religion. Nor will the court compare the beliefs, dogmas, and practices of a newly organized religion with those of an older, more established religion.” Universal Life Church, Inc. vs. United States, 372 F. Supp. 770, 776 (E.D. Cal 1974)

I sincerely admonish the Assembly of New Jersey to respect the religious scruples of the non-vaccinating members of society. A-1931 seriously burdens religion by compelling state-approved expression, by requiring more than a simple assertion of Right permitted by the current law.

Thank you for acting in our best interests and preserving our God-given and Constitution-guaranteed First Amendment Freedom. The integrity and privacy of the family and each individual in New Jersey requires no less.

Respectfully submitted,

Ralph Fucetola JD

UPDATE: Louise Kuo Habakus

I am just back from Trenton. Over 400 NJ parents and professionals gathered at our state capital today to oppose a new Assembly bill that proposes to gut the religious exemption and effectively mandate vaccination for virtually all children.

No matter. 300 people were enough in Oregon but not NJ.

Despite the impassioned, compelling, and articulate testimony of over 100 who took the microphone to voice strong opposition, plus the hundreds who oppose the bill but declined to testify in the interest of time, the Health Committee voted to move the bill to the full Assembly.

An Open Letter from Rima E. Laibow, MD to Her Physician Colleagues
Preserve YOUR Right to Vaccine Exemptions NOW

@Surgeon_General
Ask him why he has not declared his stand against Mandatory Vaccines.

.
Dear Doctor,
.
You and I share a sacred, professional responsibility to our patients and, in order to fulfill that responsibility, to the truth. We have no responsibility to the economic well-being of any system, company or industry and confusing the two can harm, maim or even kill.
.
I am writing to you today to ask you to think with me about vaccine exemptions. You and I may believe different things about vaccine safety, efficacy and necessity but it is my hope that we believe the same thing about human rights, informed consent and the fallibility of today’s scientific dogma which is ALWAYS replaced by new dogma when science is functioning as it should. In fact the half life of medical truth is about 20 years: in that time, 50% of what we believed has been shown to be irrefutably false.
.
That is why the traditional first rule of humane medicine has always been “Do no harm.”
.
Human rights (and parental rights) and informed consent are the medical cornerstones of a sane society based resolutely in the rule of law. Without them, there is no rule of law, there is only the oppression of the powerless by the empowered.
.
Neither you nor I went to Medical School to oppress the weak, Doctor, nor to serve corporate or tyrannical forces.
.
When people come to you asking for your help in securing their parental or personal rights against compulsory vaccination you can serve their rights or you can serve the industry that wants to take their rights away. The choice is yours. The consequences may be brutally damaging and the responsibility is yours for that damage, even if the government has exempted you from legal responsibility.
.
You have the professional competence, and First Amendment Right, to issue informed professional opinions, including medical excuse letters.*
.
Looking at the CDC’s own words, we see that a wide array of negative consequences can follow vaccination. Package inserts tell us this very clearly. We see that encephalopathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, anaphylactic reactions, seizures, allergic reaction, asthma, diabetes, lung diseases, heart diseases, kidney diseases, metabolic diseases such as diabetes or blood disorders, continuous crying for 3 hours within 48 hours after a vaccine dose, having a first degree relative who is immunocompromised or being immunocompromised are among the many contraindications to live attenuated virus vaccines, to DPT, Tdap, influenza vaccines and to other vaccines as well.
.
You and I both know that although the empty assertion is made that “the science is conclusive” showing that vaccines are safe, that is simply public puffery, given that all vaccines are classed by the Courts as an uninsurable risk like nuclear power so that a special Court has been created to compensate a tiny number of people who, like unfortunate Hannah Polling, had their lives destroyed by vaccines.
.
If the science were settled, there would be no Hannah Polling**.
.
The science is not settled on vaccine protection. There are people who are not protected by vaccines and who develop diseases induced by vaccines like the more than 53,300 Indian children who developed the mis-named Non Polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (NPAFP) syndrome following the Pentavalent polio vaccine in the 13 months before India was declared a Polio Free country in March 2014. Since the same virus found in the vaccine was found in the NPAFP victims, who were twice as likely to die as children contracting community infections of polio, and the incidence rose from 2/100,000 unvaccinated children to 34/100,000 vaccinated children in direct linear relationship to the number of children vaccinated we can say with certainty that the science is settled: polio vaccines cause polio. The CDC noted that some years ago on their polio vaccine website when they listed the principle cause of polio as polio vaccination.
.
The science is settled, too, that the vaccinated can shed viruses whether or not they develop the disease against which they were vaccinated. Those shed viruses can infect the immunocompromised, the unvaccinated, the otherwise vulnerable. Once again, CDC has noted that in its pronouncements that people recently vaccinated with measles for flu vaccines should avoid the unvaccinated and immunocompromised.
.
Of course, walking down the street, the unvaccinated and immunocompromised tend to pass by without their bright yellow armbands so they run considerable risk from the recently vaccinated.
.
The science is settled, too, on the fact that heavy metals are toxic, that herd immunity is, at best a theory and that measles outbreaks like the recent one in California and the ongoing ones in China, occur in the fully vaccinated (virtually 100% in China). Pertussis outbreaks have increased by several hundred percent since mandatory vaccination (97+%) was instituted in South Korea and deaths have skyrocketed from Pertussis, easily controlled in the unvaccinated by administration of modest amounts of totally non-toxic Vitamin A.
.
Chicken pox vaccination has been associated with a $1Billion + bill in shingles in the elderly who come into contact with vaccinated children ($700 Million per year in the US) and in children ($300 Million per year). This is associated with vaccination for a self-limiting and easily controlled disease which is little consequence in normal children.
.
But assume for a moment the science were settled for every vaccine and they had been tested and found to be, as required under US law, both safe and effective. We know that this is a false assumption because the number of vaccines tested and found to be either safe or effective in the US is the same: zero.
.
One placebo controlled study of the efficacy of a vaccine has been carried out, and only one.
.
It found that influenza vaccine was associated with a nearly 5 fold increase in serious health conditions including pneumonia and asthma, requiring hospitalization and leading, in some cases, to adverse events including death.
.
All the “science” the CDC relies upon are studies funded by the very companies that are seeking lucrative drug approvals. Assume, however, for the sake of argument, although not for the sake of science, that it were true and vaccines were both safe and effective.
.
Would the fact that a safe and effective strategy for disease control existed abrogate the basic right to informed consent of both parents and adult patients? How could it if the sina qua none of informed consent is the right to refuse because of fear, knowledge, religion, philosophy, epidemiology, dyspepsia, paranoia, voices from aliens or guidance from the Archangel Michael.
.
The reason is irrelevant. If informed consent means anything at all, it means the requirement to be informed and the absolute right to refuse treatment.
.

You and I are obligated under the prevailing Code of Ethics, to honor and protect, support and enable informed consent. Here is what the American Medical Association’s code says on the subject: Opinion 8.08 – Informed Consent:

The patient’s right of self-decision can be effectively exercised only if the patient possesses enough information to enable an informed choice. The patient should make his or her own determination about treatment. The physician’s obligation is to present the medical facts accurately to the patient or to the individual responsible for the patient’s care and to make recommendations for management in accordance with good medical practice. The physician has an ethical obligation to help the patient make choices from among the therapeutic alternatives consistent with good medical practice. Informed consent is a basic policy in both ethics and law that physicians must honor, unless the patient is unconscious or otherwise incapable of consenting and harm from failure to treat is imminent. In special circumstances, it may be appropriate to postpone disclosure of information, (see Opinion E-8.122, “Withholding Information from Patients”). Physicians should sensitively and respectfully disclose all relevant medical information to patients.”
.
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/physician-resources/medical-ethics/code-medical-ethics/opinion808.page

.
The Helsinki Declaration similarly enshrines Informed Consent.
http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/
.
You see the choices of the patient about the care they want for themselves or for their children is unrelated to your personal belief system, what you would do for yourself or your family or any personal benefit you might receive (like profit on an administered vaccine) and depends fully and totally on the wishes of the patient or parent.
.

The science is not settled, but the fundamental principle of human rights most definitely is. The legal standard is that a Medical Exemption should be granted if there is “reasonable certainty that he is not at the time a fit subject of vaccination…“***
.
There’s another issue that you may not have considered here, Doctor. Your personal freedom in a freedom-revoking State which your adherence to a corporate model of health care control may be directly enabling.
.
Looking outside of clinical issues for a moment, we see a pattern in the current push for total vaccine control: you and I both know that every modern tyranny, without exception, has come to total an terrifying power with the complicity and cooperation of the medical component of the society it wished to dominate.
.
Doing things to people’s bodies who do not wish those things done is an act of tyranny however much you believe in those things. They could be sterilization, inserting a nano chip, chemotherapy or vaccination. They could be the murder of defective German children long before Hitler came to power when, under Kaiser Wilhelm, the birth records of every German child was examined by the Children’s Killing Commission in Munich and doctors volunteered to run special wards where defective children were starved and experimented upon “for the greater good”.
.
Next, of course, came the even better-enshrined killing and slave labor camps, all of which relied, as did Soviet State Psychiatry, on the acquiescence of health care personnel to experiment on, control and benefit from, their atrocious inhuman behavior.
.
Dare we, as health-keepers, tyrannize anyone “for the greater good“? I think not. I think so with such fervor, in fact, that I offer you and everyone else in any aspect of the health professions the opportunity to pledge not to acquiesce to the requests of any emerging control system to use their healing arts and position to do harm to anyone against their will. That pledge, the “HealthKeeper’s Oath”, is available here, www.HealthKeepersOath.org.

HEALTH KEEPERS OATH

Take it and share it with your fellow health keepers, spreading the awareness that we are the keepers of a sacred trust which is far greater than the convenient pleasure of those who would be first our patients’ masters and then ours. The sorry histories of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union teach us that tyranny needs the cooperation of health care givers to do its evil work.
.
It is your job, my dear colleague, to protect the body of your patients and to protect the body politic which allows you to protect them and allows them to protect themselves. That cannot be accomplished unless you will offer the patients you see who wish to have your support in their vaccine choices the support they need to make THEIR choices, not yours.
.
There are legitimate reasons for every single vaccine conscientious objector to have a formal medical exemption if they wish one. For example, the injection of aluminum (present in all vaccines) will damage every human into whom it is injected, whether subclinically or clinically apparent.
.
Every person’s immune system will be changed forever by the introduction of even one dose of vaccine and the immune system must be protected since without it, we are prone to a vast array of diseases and disorders.
.
Write the letter for exemption and stand with rights, not repression of rights, Doctor. The CDC lists the contraindications, in summary, here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/vac-admin/contraindications-vacc.htm and in more detail here: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/genrec.html. However, these government recommendations cannot substitute for your clinical judgment that there is “reasonable certainty that he is not at the time a fit subject of vaccination…”
.
There are currently about 200 new vaccines in the pipeline. Are you so sure that children can withstand that many MORE vaccines? Is there any science behind combining so many vaccines over any particular period of time? If we do not make it possible for patients and parents to exercise informed consent now, there will be no way to do so when we are facing not dozens but hundreds of vaccines.
.
In closing, Doctor, I want to ask you to imagine with me for a moment that at some time in the future what you believe to be true about vaccines is demonstrated not to be true and what the people seeking exemptions for themselves and their families believes, that they are unsafe and unnecessary, turns out to be true. But imagine at that time in the hypothetical future that your right to say no to vaccines which you now know or suspect to be unsafe has been cancelled by the same forces that are now telling people that vaccines are good and useful and should be sought out vigorously by everyone but you KNOW that you do not want that vaccine in your body or your loved ones’.
.
Will it be fine with you that you have no choice, that there are no exemptions any more and that the collateral damage is just something the injured person and its friends and families just has to deal with? For the “greater good.”
.
Probably not.
.
So every time you write an exemption letter for someone else, Doctor, you are actually investing in your own future freedom.
.
It’s a bit like casting your freedom bread upon the waters.
.
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to contact me personally at releyes3@gmail.com if you would like to dialogue further on this topic.
.
Perhaps you would like more information. Here is a paper which I delivered recently on this topic to the All India Congress on Medical Education in at Nitte University, Mangalore: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/wp-content/uploads/Final-All-India-Medical-Congress-Paper.020415.pdf and here is the Power Point presentation: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/wp-content/uploads/Regulation-and-Results20520151a.pdf .
.
You’ll note that the well-established fact that hygiene, not vaccine, prevents disease is well documented there.

.
You do not have to agree with your patient to support their rights, Doctor.
.
Thank you for your time and consideration in moving toward an open-hearted and open-minded position of assisting patients, not standing as their adversary when they come to you to assert their inalienable right to refuse vaccination or any invasive medical treatment.
.
Yours in health and freedom,

* This note from Foundation Legal Director Ralph Fucetola JD: “CDC lies when it pretends to have power to tell state-licensed doctors what medical excuses they can write! As licensed professionals doctors are authorized to use their training to write professional opinions to “a reasonable degree of professional certainty…” The “reasonable professional certainty” standard is all that is required for a professional opinion. A medical excuse letter is a type of professional opinion. No government agency, whether CDC or State Medical Board has power to censor professional opinion speech!”

*** Since 1905 the law has been clear: Jacobson v.

Note from Dr. Rima to Natural Solutions Supporters:
.
Doctor: Are You Afraid?

When it comes to vaccine exemption letters, however, only one voice counts: your doctor’s.
.
The above letter was not written for you. It was written for your doctor when you want a letter granting you a vaccine exemption for you or your child.
.
With rare exceptions, your doctor or pediatrician is both brainwashed and terrified (much the same thing, really) about vaccines and exemptions.
.
I have written a letter which you can print out or email to the gate keeper doctor who stands between you and a vaccine exemption.
.
Try this first before you FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR or set up a consultation with a doctor who will assist you as I do regularly for patients.
.
I suggest you read the letter to familiarize yourself with it and be prepared to request strongly that your request in writing that your doctor 1. Read the letter and 2 either give you the exemption support that you are asking for or give you a WRITTEN letter stating why that letter is not forthcoming.
.
Will your doctor like you more after this interchange? Perhaps not, but I can assure you that if s/he is a decent human being, s/he will respect you a great deal more after it. If you do not have that respect, then your doctor is not a decent human being and you need another one. Now.
.
This is not about nice. This is quite literally, about the death of freedom and quite possibly a much more personal death in your neighborhood.
.
Remember, it is imperative that you tell every legislator who decides and votes on your behalf that you do not accept mandatory vaccination. Right now there are at least 110 pieces of legislation around the US moving to take away your right to control your own body. With a single click you can connect with all of your legislators plus other decision makers. When you click “submit” your voice goes out to every one of them: http://TinyURL.com/VaccinationIsViolation
.
Then Use this Letter. Pass it along to your contacts.

Thanks for your activism for yourself and others.

Yours in health and freedom,
