Betreff: [NVIC] Vaccination "Ethics"

E-NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL VACCINE INFORMATION CENTER
Vienna, Virginia http://www.nvic.org

BL Fisher Note:

When it happens to your child, the risks are 100 percent. Doctors are
fallible and there are no guarantees.

Therefore, the only "ethical" thing to do when a medical intervention like
vaccination carries with it a risk of injury or death, is to allow
individuals the right to informed consent to taking the risk for themselves
or their children. Those who do not want to take the risk of being injured
or dying from an infectious disease, have the right to risk becoming injured
or dying from vaccination. Those who do not want to take the risk of being
injured or dying from a vaccination, have the right to risk becoming injured
or dying from an infectious disease.

The vaccinated should have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated IF the
vaccines work as well as doctors maintain they do. The only "free riders" in
America are those who force their beliefs on others in an effort to destroy
the spirit and intent of the US Constitution, which first and foremost seeks
to protect minorities from being abused by the majority.

We should all be worried whenever anyone tries to demonize and target
minorities who hold different beliefs from the majority in an attempt to pit
citizen against citizen. The first step toward totalitarianism is to target
the minority in question as a threat to the public health and welfare. The
second step is to encourage citizens to identify and round up fellow
citizens who belong to the minority and destroy them.

Vaccination Verdict
"I am a teacher. I have friends who refuse to vaccinate their children for
fear of supposed side effects. Some have talked about getting faked doctors'
forms that say their children have been vaccinated so they can attend public
school. As someone legally and morally charged with the safety of children,
I plan to report them to their respective school districts if they do so.

Reporting these counterfeits is something you may do but not something you
must do. Similarly, you have a professional obligation to reproach a student
in your own class who hands you a phony-baloney absence note. ("Please
excuse me. . .I mean my son. . .for missing yesterday's quiz. I was — darn
it — he was feeling icky.") But you need not scour the city for bogus notes. (...)"
