Mass vaccinations using public schools - ideas  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
There is word going around that they who are "they" are readying public schools to be used to vaccinate all students against the flu. This is totally unacceptable on several levels.

This is like the government making it mandatory that everyone must drink "energy drinks" or some other profitable product of questionable nutritional value.

Everyone MUST realize the fact that these vaccines are products being marketed for profits by private corporations. They are an imperfect, often little-tested product for which the government allows these companies to use American children as test subjects with little or no choice in the matter. No one has proven that most vaccines don't do as much harm as they do good. As long as there is any doubt about their safety and efficacy, to make it mandatory for people to purchase and use these private companies' products represents a GRAVE conflict of interest on the part of lawmakers.

Don't accept it! Using religious exemptions may be the only tool we have for protecting our children right now, in the immediate situation, and should be used to this effect. But that's not enough! And if things keep going this way, they will take that away from us at some point. Don't only use the religious exemption, but also demand accountability, and demand your rights, from your lawmakers on every level of government! Contact them and demand that they stop forcing us to use drug companies' products at the expense of your children's health! And don't just spread these facts and feelings among others who feel the same way on this forum, make them public: write letters to newspapers! Make copies of some of these articles and leave them where people will pick them up! Educate people about the fact that vaccines are not a panacea and a flawless cure-all, but a product with flaws, that someone wants to sell you, like any other!

For one first step, I would like to see some forum members write very concise and well-written letters about some of these issues to their local lawmakers - a general letter, without any part that's specific to that person or to a certain geographical area - and post it here so that others who may not have the time or the writing skills can change the names, print them out, and then send them to THEIR local lawmakers, in other cities, in other towns. I think the time it takes to craft such a letter and the feeling that putting these thoughts on to paper well is overwhelming to some and prevents more such letters from being sent.

Keep spreading the word. Make fliers and pass them out wherever you have a change. Post on bulletin boards. Write on the side walk with chalk....

I keep brochures with me all the time and hand them out. My goal is 10 every day. The best chance we have is to educate.

I see more and more people waking up all the time.

It used to be that when I offered my brochure people looked at me like they had no clue why I would give them something overtly anti-vax. In the last year I had no one refuse my brochure and many people seem to be in tune already. This is just another step for them.

Gitti,

What do you use for brochures?

It was a consorted project here on MDC one time although I've revised it several times as I got more information or my ideas changed.

We're putting our children into school this fall, and I'm scared to death that there will be some sort of aggressive vaccination campaign brought to their school.

I've been trying to think of ways to protect my kids from some sudden sneaky vax program. I plan to send a letter - and speak to - the principle and both of my girls' teachers, along with any school nurses/health officials, and stress that my girls are to NEVER under any circumstance receive a shot of any kind without my expressed written approval and bodily presence.

If I suspect for any reason that vaccines will be given out at school, my girls will be taken out immediately.

I would not go that route. Don't draw attention to your kids' vax status. Only tell the nurse of the school how you feel.

They will have to send info home with kids before they are going to vax. Then keep your kids home that day. jmho

To me, I have the right and obligation to draw attention to their vax status. Louisiana has religious and philosophical exemption; I have every right to send my unvaccinated children there and insist that they remain that way.

(But I'll think about your advice.)

They already do this here every year. I dont send dd that day and now that ds is starting school I will hold him out as well. They give both the flu shot and the flu mist if they run out of the shot.

I told dd's teacher, the school nurse and wrote all over the permission form DO NOT CONSENT but I still didnt trust them to not "accidentally" do it. Considering dd's egg allergy it could be fatal to her to get that shot.

This is public school.

That's my plan. It was what I planned on doing this past school year. They had a flu shot clinic for our area at the school this past fall. They sent home forms to sign. Since DS 1 was vaxed until 2 he had pretty much everything except the boosters. They sent forms saying that according to their records he is missing these shots, if I wanted them to give them to him to check this box, if he already had them check this box, if I didn't want him to receive this vax at this time to check this box and then sign at the bottom. There was no declaring that he isn't going to get it at all. I signed the form and sent it but I was going to keep DS home anyway and then forgot and he was at school that day. Luckily there were no mix ups. I plan on keeping him home this year just in case.

Alberta is one of the provinces that don't even require an exemption as vaxes are not mandated for school. Though they can still be pushy about it.

this vaccine thing is getting out of control. they better make d@mn sure they have parental consent before they go and vax kids in school... what about kids with allergies, kids who have or whose siblings or parents have had severe vax reactions, what about religious issues? i thought the flu mist shed... are they trying to give every kid in school the flu?

its nuts that vaxes are so prevalent that testing for safety is not considered necessary and that they give them to kids at school and you can get them at the flipping grocery store.... my safeway offers 4 or five different vaccines. they treat them like they are bandaids or something.. completely harmless. i don't get it.

Yes!! Keep your kids home! If our health secretary continues to talk with superintendents across the country about the Novel Flu (swine flu) 'school-clinics' - those of us with kids have to pay special attention -even those of us with religious exemptions. This flu has been declared a PANDEMIC - our government can, if it wants, suspend the local health laws (including exemptions) and declare mandatory vaccinations in pandemic situations. KEEP your kids home on any day vaccines will be given out (if they go through with it)...and um, since the government has handed over billions to Big Pharma to make the vaccine, I can imagine they will push very hard to use it.

I'm really scared for the children of parents who will just consent to the administering of this untested vaccine into their children. It's not going to be pretty and it's going to kill me inside to hear about.

I agree! But it many not be in the best interest of your kids. IMHO it is a far better strategy to educate your children that they are never to receive a needle from anyone, no matter what's in it... and to insist that the school calls you if they feel in any way threatened.

When a child insists that the school calls a parent, the school must comply.

That also applies in case of a social worker coming to school to question the child. The minute the child states that he wants his parent there, they can not ask any more questions. (The child is requesting representation.)

Teach your kids that they have rights!

Big pHARMa has most of the politicians in their pocket. That's the problem!
