A leading national physician organization is calling for a moratorium
on all government mandated vaccines and has passed a resolution to that
end at their annual meeting.
Members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS) voted this week at their 57th Annual Meeting in St. Louis to
pass a resolution calling for an end to mandatory childhood vaccines.
The resolution passed without a single “no” vote. (Resolution and mandatory vaccine fact sheet posted at www.aapsonline.org)
“Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term
adverse effects from mandated vaccines that aren’t necessary or that
have very limited benefits,” said Jane M. Orient, MD, AAPS Executive
Director.
“This is not a vote against vaccines,” said Dr. Orient. “This
resolution only attempts to halt blanket vaccine mandates by government
agencies and school districts that give no consideration for the rights
of the parents or the individual medical condition of the child.”
Forty-two states have mandatory vaccine policies, and many
children are required to have 22 shots before first grade. On top of
that, as a condition for school attendance, many school districts
require vaccination for diseases such as hepatitis B — primarily an
adult disease, usually spread by multiple sex partners, drug abuse or
an occupation with exposure to blood.
And yet, children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to
suffer adverse effects — including death — following the hepatitis b
vaccine than to catch the disease itself.
Just last week, students in Utica, NY were sent home from
school, and told they could not return until they had been forced to
receive hep B vaccinations. Further, parents were threatened by Child
Protective Services with possible seizure of their children based on
“education neglect.”
“It’s obscene to threaten to seize a child just because his parents
refuse medical treatment that is obviously unnecessary and perhaps even
dangerous,” said Dr. Orient. “AAPS believes that parents, with the
advice of their doctors, should make decisions about their children’s
medical care — not government bureaucrats. This Resolution affirms
that position.”
(Note: AAPS is a professional association of physicians
dedicated since 1943 to the sanctity of the patient-physician
relationship.)
