Defending the Religious Exemption to Vaccination
by Barbara Loe Fisher
Every summer, Americans celebrate the 4th of July to mark the day in 1776 when the American colonies agreed they would no longer be ruled by an aristocracy. The Declaration of Independence begins with, "We
hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
That Declaration was a rejection of oppression by a ruling aristocracy
and the pledge that this country would uphold the unalienable natural
right to life and liberty that belongs to every person.
240
years later, we find ourselves again fighting for freedom from
oppression because we have allowed the rise of a new ruling aristocracy,
an elitist class of privileged citizens who want the legal right to
judge, shame, segregate, discriminate against and punish fellow citizens
who do not share their beliefs. Nowhere is this truth more self
evident than in the oppressive implementation of one-size-fits-all
mandatory vaccination laws that fail to respect biodiversity or human
rights and crush citizen opposition, in violation of the informed
consent ethic and freedom of thought, speech, conscience and religious
belief.
When a ruling aristocracy uses the heel of the boot of the State to
create fear and oppress average citizens for their beliefs, there is no
other word for it but tyranny. The appropriation of unaccountable
authority by medical trade and the militarization of public health in
the 21st century should be of concern to every person who values life and liberty.
