Mary Holland, JD on Mandatory Vaccinations
I think bodily integrity is a fundamental human right, and I think any mandatory medical intervention is a violation of our human rights. I don’t think there’s really any question about that, and the Nuremberg Codes have been updated and updated and updated. We have a UNESCO declaration from 2008. You have to have informed consent. That means voluntary on a basis of knowledge. Neither one of those things are the case with mandatory vaccines. People don’t have knowledge…
Barbara Loe Fisher on Defending the Right of Informed Consent
At the heart of this contentious debate about vaccine safety is a larger ethical issue: Do individuals have the moral right—and should they have the legal right—to make voluntary choices about whether to use all government-recommended and -mandated vaccines? … There are compelling reasons to defend the ethical principle of informed consent and flexible vaccine exemptions in public health policies and laws. Vaccination is a medical intervention performed on a healthy…
Audre Lorde on Speaking Out
I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you… What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own need for language. I began to ask each time: ‘What’s the worst that could happen to me if I tell…
Stephanie Christner, DO on Learning About Vaccines
When it comes to death with vaccines, I think there are two issues that are going on. One is you have an immediate reaction to a component in the vaccine… like an anaphylactic shock, like if you eat peanuts and you’re allergic to peanuts, you will die, your throat will close off. And there’s things in vaccines that people are allergic to that they’re not screened for, and that can happen immediately. But then there’s also a delayed reaction. And that’s something that takes place slowly over time…
Chris Shaw, PhD on Injectable Aluminum
Recently we’ve been looking at aluminum, which is common to many vaccines. It’s used as an adjuvant. That means helper. Without the aluminum, the vaccine basically does not provide any long-term protection, and so my research has looked at injectable aluminum and how it might impact the nervous system. The difference between injectable aluminum versus dietary aluminum is that the aluminum that you eat is excreted fairly rapidly. Injectable aluminum, however, is meant to stick…
Russell Blaylock, MD on Vaccinating Pregnant Women
Right now there is a lot of concern in the field of neurology and neuroscience of the observation that women who develop the flu during the second trimester of their pregnancy, there’s a very high incidence of their child growing up to develop schizophrenia or autism… and so that led to this idea, well, we should vaccinate all pregnant women against the flu. Well, what I discovered in the research was that, in fact, the virus does not transfer from the mother into the baby’s brain…
