National Vaccine Information Center’s (NVIC) mission statement is “The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is dedicated to preventing vaccine injuries and deaths through public education and advocating for informed consent protections in medical policies and public health laws. NVIC defends the human right to freedom of thought and conscience and supports the inclusion of flexible medical, religious and conscientious belief exemptions in vaccine policies and laws.” “The majority of information published on NVIC’s website about vaccine science, policy, law and ethics is referenced and has been researched, written and produced by NVIC staff or has been republished with permission of authors. Hyperlinked references connect readers with many different information sources, including the medical and professional literature, government and international health agency websites, media outlets, and other online resources containing referenced information. Visitors are encouraged to do their own research by accessing references anchoring the information on NVIC.org.” This includes information about informed consent, the Paternalistic Medical Model, moral virtue (ability of the individual to choose his own fate), utilitarianism, Nuremberg Code (rights of individuals to thoroughgoing self-determination), Judeo-Christian ethical tradition (protects sacred right of individuals to exercise freedom of conscience), bioethics (humans are not objects), mandatory vaccination and vaccine laws are on the NVIC website.
From the NVIC website: Dr. Katz said that the judges of the Nuremberg tribunal, overwhelmed by what they had learned, “envisioned a world in which free women and men, after careful explanation, could make their own good or bad decisions, but not decisions unknowingly imposed on them by the authority of the state, science, or medicine.”
A summary of state vaccine laws and exemptions can be found on the NVIC’s Vaccine Law page (https://www.nvic.org/vaccine-laws.aspx). Also can be found a 41-page report “The Emerging Risks of Live Virus & Virus Vectored Vaccines: Vaccine Strain Virus Infection, Shedding and Transmission” by Barbara Loe Fisher whose son was injured by DPT vaccine in 1980. Another article interesting article is “Vaccine Ingredients Calculator.” The “49 Dose Brochure” article lists the 14 vaccines (50 doses) that are recommended for children before the age of 6 and 16 vaccines (69 doses) by age 18. It also compares then to now. In 1976, 1 child in 30 had a learning disability and in 2013, it was one in 6. In 1980, 1 child in 27 had asthma but in 2013, it was 1 in 9. In 1992, 1 child in 500 had autism, but in 2013, it was 1 in 50. This article also lists the symptoms of vaccine reactions: high fever, rashes, hives and swelling, excessive sleepiness, convulsions, behavior changes, mental or physical regression, etc. So what is causing the increase in these conditions?
In January of 2021, “The DC City Council majority, with only three members dissenting, cruelly disempowered parents by voting to make it illegal for a doctor, insurance company or school administrator to divulge a child’s vaccination history in records that can be seen by the child’s mother or father” was taken from one of the articles on the NVIC site titled “Doctors Given Power to Vaccinate Young Children without the Knowledge of Parents.” This DC law violates vaccine safety provisions of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which confirmed that vaccine injuries and deaths are real and made preventing adverse vaccine reactions a national priority. The DC law also violates the informed consent rights.
Locally, we have the Wisconsin United for Freedom organization.
Personally I am not an anti-vaccine person because I know that vaccines have improved the health of the world immensely over the last 50 years. But I do believe each individual has the right to choose and every person has the responsibility to be educated and form a well thought out decision.
Recently Dr. Kobi Haviv (medical director of Herzog Hospital, Israel) reported that 95% of the hospital patients listed in severe condition have been vaccinated. 85-90% of the total Covid hospitalized patients have been fully vaccinated. Since the beginning of the epidemic, Israel has been ahead of the US as far as Covid vaccination rates. Over 400,000 people in Israel have gotten their third booster shot. Why do patients still get Covid if they were vaccinated? Makes me wonder if the Covid virus has mutated enough so that the Covid-19 vaccine is becoming less effective?
In the US, 95% of those who die from Covid are obese and 78% of those hospitalized with Covid are obese. Obesity must be a risk factor but what can we do now? One thing that that we can do is to boost our immune system with supplements and diet. A variety of experts have mentioned that it is important to make sure we have sufficient Vitamins D, C, E, A, Niacin, Folic Acid and Zinc, Iron, and Selenium in our diet. We can eat healthy and possibly reduce our weight if overweight.
