Physicians Group Calls for End to Mandatory
Vaccines

A leading national physician organization has called for a
moratorium on all government mandated vaccines, going so far as to
pass a resolution asking for an end to mandatory vaccination
programs at their annual meeting.
In October, at their 57th Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri,
members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
voted on a resolution calling for,
"a moratorium on
vaccine mandates and for physicians to insist upon truly
informed consent for the use of vaccines."
The resolution passed
without a single dissenting vote.
"This is not a vote
against vaccines," said AAPS Executive Director Jane Orient, MD.
In recent months, Dr. Orient has testified before Congress on
the safety of the government’s vaccine policy.
"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."
At issue is the policy
of mandating immunizations for children. Forty-two states have
mandatory vaccine policies; in many cases, children are required to
have as many as 22 shots before they start elementary school.
Some school districts also require that students be inoculated for
diseases such as hepatitis B, even though children at a very low
risk for catching the disease. Hepatitis B is commonly spread
through unprotected sex or the sharing of intravenous needles.
According to statements
posted on the AAPS website (www.aapsonline.org),
children under the age of 14 are three times more likely to suffer
adverse effects from the hepatitis B vaccine than to catch the
disease itself.
"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," added 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."
The AAPS’ resolution
reads:
"WHEREAS: The
statement of Patients’ Freedoms adopted by the Assembly at the
47th annual meeting of AAPS in 1990 provides that "Patients have
the freedom... to refuse medical treatment even if it is
recommended by their physician and to be informed about their
medical condition, the risks and benefits of treatment, and
appropriate alternatives"; and
"WHEREAS: There are increasing numbers of mandatory childhood
vaccines, to which children are often subjected without
meaningful informed consent, including information about
potential adverse side effects; and
"WHEREAS: Parents who exercise their freedom to refuse one or
more vaccines may be subjected to penalties ranging from
deprivation of the right to enroll their child in school, to
threats of removing the child from parental custody and forcible
vaccination; and
"WHEREAS: Safety testing of many vaccines is limited and the
data are unavailable for independent scrutiny, so that mass
vaccination is equivalent to human experimentation and subject
to the Nuremberg Code, which requires voluntary informed
consent; and
"WHEREAS: The process of approving and "recommending" vaccines
is tainted with conflicts of interest;
"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED: That AAPS calls for a moratorium on
vaccine mandates and for physicians to insist upon truly
informed consent for the use of vaccines."
