Barbara Loe Fisher, The CDC, NIH, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, AAP, AMA Bill Gates Plan to Abolish the Informed Consent Ethical Principle and Vaccinate Everybody
By Barbara Loe Fisher
Scientists at the National Institutes of
Health are working with a biotech company to quickly start clinical
trials of an experimental messenger RNA vaccine and fast track it to
licensure. 1 The
FDA has not yet licensed messenger RNA vaccines that use part of the
RNA of a virus to manipulate the body’s immune system into stimulating a
potent immune response. 2 3 It
looks like the coronavirus
vaccine will be the first genetically
engineered messenger RNA vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure, just
like Gardasil was the first genetically engineered virus-like particle
vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure. 4 5
There likely will be lots of questions
about whether the fast tracked coronavirus vaccine was studied long
enough to adequately demonstrate safety, especially for people who have
trouble resolving strong inflammatory responses in their bodies and may
be at greater risk for vaccine reactions.6 7 8 9 10 However,
there is no question about what will happen if the Centers for Disease
Control’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) 11 12 recommends that all Americans get the newly licensed coronavirus vaccine.
The government has a National Vaccine Plan.
It is a Plan designed to make sure you, your child and everyone in
America gets every dose of every vaccine that government officials
recommend now and in the future.
1986-1996: Establishing & Creating the Plan
Established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act during the Reagan Administration, 13 the
Plan didn’t really get traction until Congress funded the Vaccines for
Children program in 1993 under the Clinton Administration 14 15 and
gave the Department of Health and Human Services authority to fund a
network of state-based electronic vaccine tracking registries 16 that can monitor the vaccination histories of children without the informed consent of their parents.
In 1995, then Secretary of Health Donna
Shalala used rule-making authority to authorize the Social Security
Administration to disclose the social security number of every baby born
in the country to state governments without parental consent.17 Federal officials explained that – quote – “public
health program uses of the social security numbers would include, but
are not limited to, establishing immunization registries” and that new
routine use of social security numbers would help the government operate
“a national network of coordinated statewide immunization registries.” 18
By 1996, when Congress established a national Electronic Health Records (EHR) system under HIPPA, 19 the stage had been set for a government-operated
electronic surveillance system to monitor the personal medical records
and vaccination status of all Americans. 20 21 22 23 The justification for this big data grab by the government, which clearly violated the privacy of Americans, was to– quote – “protect the public by reducing disease.”
Nationwide Electronic Health Records & Vaccine Tracking Systems
Today, the nationwide federally funded
Electronic Health Records system captures the details of every visit you
make to a doctor’s office, hospital, pharmacy, laboratory or other
medical facility; every medical diagnosis you get; every drug you have
been prescribed and every vaccine you accept or refuse. Your
Electronic Health Record can be accessed not only by government health
agencies like the Social Security Administration, Medicaid and federal
and state health and law enforcement agencies, 24 25 but
also can be shared with authorized third parties such as doctors,
health insurance companies, HMOs and other corporations, hospitals,
labs, nursing homes and medical researchers. 26 27 28
A new Health Information Exchange 29 30 31 initiative
funded by the government will make it even easier for computerized
health and vaccine records databases to tag, track down and sanction
Americans who do not go along with the National Vaccine Plan in the
future. 32 33 34 35 36 37 38
What Happened to the Plan’s Duty to Prevent Adverse Reactions to Vaccines?
Ironically, when Congress directed the
Department of Health and Human Services to create a National Vaccine
Program in the 1986 Act, federal health officials were told to put
together a Plan to – quote – “achieve
optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization
and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to
vaccines.” 39 The
Plan was not supposed to focus solely on vaccine development and
promotion but to equally focus on preventing vaccine reactions.
Yet, in the very first 1994 National
Vaccine Plan only four out of 25 “objectives” and only two out of 14
anticipated “outcomes” addressed preventing vaccine reactions. 40 The 2010 version of the Plan 41 also
largely ignored the legal duty of HHS to conduct vaccine safety
research to fill in long standing knowledge gaps and take steps to make
vaccines and vaccine policies less likely to cause harm. 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52
Looking back, it appears Congress was not
really committed to funding research and creating substantive
initiatives to reduce vaccine risks, regardless of what was stated in
the 1986 Act, or there would been congressional oversight and federal
agencies would have been directed to follow the law rather than ignore
it for more than 30 years. 53
Government’s Vaccine Marketing Plan for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Instead, government agencies have brazenly
forged lucrative public private business partnerships with the
pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment to:
- develop many new vaccines; 54 55 56 57
- increase public demand for vaccines; 58
- raise vaccination rates among children to nearly 100 percent; 59
- create and expand electronic vaccine tracking registries; 60 61 62 63 64 and
- promote global vaccination programs, 65 66 even though the primary purpose of the 1986 Act was to reduce vaccine reactions and protect the U.S. childhood vaccine supply, 67 not fund and expand global vaccination programs.
In fact, federal health officials accurately characterize the U.S. vaccination system in the 21st century as a business. A decade ago they admitted that – quote –“The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides a vision for the U.S. vaccine and immunization enterprise for the next decade.” 68 That’s because they know the National Vaccine Plan is really a Vaccine Marketing Plan for the pharmaceutical industry. 69 70 71 72
So, if you are wondering why many states
are trying to pass laws eliminating all vaccine exemptions and mandate
every vaccine the pharmaceutical industry produces and the CDC
recommends, 73 74 75 76 you don’t have to look any further than the government’s well-financed National Vaccine Plan.
Implementation of The Plan Accelerated in 2011
Implementation of the Plan was accelerated
in 2011 after the U.S. Supreme Court declared FDA licensed vaccines to
be –quote – “unavoidably unsafe” for the purpose of removing almost all
remaining liability from drug companies when vaccines hurt people. 77 78
Since 2011, two powerful CDC-appointed
vaccine advisory committees influenced by members associated with the
pharmaceutical and medical trade industries – the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP) 79 80 81 82 83 and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) 84 85 86 – have been busy coming up with new ways to meet strategic goals of the National Vaccine Plan.
When highly publicized cases of measles were reported in California’s Disneyland in 2015 87 and in New York in 2019, 88 89 with military precision pursuit of the Plan was kicked into even high gear. 90 91
During the past five years, California,
Vermont, New York, Maine and Hawaii have lost vaccine exemptions, even
though tens of thousands of Americans rose up in protest. 92 In 2019, the people managed to hold on to exemptions in states like Oregon, Arizona and New Jersey 93 but
this year, bills to force vaccine use are already threatening parental,
civil and human rights in Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida, Washington,
Pennsylvania and more. 94
Five Main Types of Vaccine Laws Being Proposed in States
These are the five main types of laws being proposed in the states and your state may be one of them:
Number One: State
laws that eliminate all personal belief vaccine exemptions allowing you
to follow your conscience or religious beliefs and make it illegal for
physicians to grant a medical exemption unless it strictly conforms to
very narrow CDC-approved contraindications to vaccination.
National vaccine coverage rates among
school children are at 95 percent for core vaccines like polio,
pertussis, measles and chickenpox, yet, government health officials are
not satisfied. 95 They
have narrowed vaccine contraindications so that almost no medical
history or health condition qualifies as a reason for a medical
exemption. 96
If you or your child have had previous
vaccine reactions, are vaccine injured, have a brother or sister who was
injured or died after vaccination, or are suffering with a brain or
immune system disorder that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) does not consider to be a contraindication to
vaccination, states like California 97 98 are denying
physicians the right to exercise professional judgment and give
children a medical exemption to vaccination are threatening human
rights. 99
No wonder less than one percent of vaccine reactions are ever reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System 100 and
doctors feel free to discriminate against and deny medical care to
anyone who is not vaccinated according to CDC schedules. 101
Laws that eliminate medical, religious and
conscience exemptions to vaccination and ban citizens from getting a
school education – even a college education – do violate civil and human
rights and so do vaccine mandates by employers who fire or refuse to
hire workers based on their vaccination status. 102 103 104 The two professions being targeted first for workplace vaccine mandates are healthcare 105 106 107 and childcare workers, 108 109 but they certainly will not be the last. 110
Number Two: State
laws that turn unelected members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices into de facto lawmakers and automatically mandate
all current and future federally recommended vaccines without any
public discussion or vote by duly elected state legislators.
Under the U.S. Constitution, state
legislatures hold the majority of power to pass public health laws, so
vaccine laws are state laws. 111 112 If
states hand that constitutional authority over to an unelected federal
government committee, the people no longer can work through their
elected state representatives to make sure laws do not force involuntary
medical risk taking and punish citizens exercising civil and human
rights. 113
It is clear that Pharma and medical trade
lobbyists partnering with government officials to implement the National
Vaccine Plan are unhappy they have to spend so much time and money
trying to strong arm state legislators into mandating every CDC
recommended vaccine. At the same time, some politicians are not happy
that a growing number of Americans are showing up in state Capitols to
oppose oppressive vaccine mandates.
Today, it costs a staggering $3,000 to give
a child every one of the 69 doses of 16 vaccines on the federal
government’s schedule. 114
In addition to coronavirus vaccine, there are more than a dozen
experimental vaccines being fast tracked to market for TB, influenza,
HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes simplex, strep A and B, e-coli, RSV,
salmonella, and malaria, 115 with several hundred more being developed in a global vaccine market estimated to balloon to nearly $100 billion by 2026. 116 117
State laws that automatically mandate all
federally recommended vaccines are handing Big Pharma a big blank check
and putting an unknown number of vaccine vulnerable children and adults
at risk for serious health problems if they are forced to use every one
of them. 118 119 120 121 122
Number Three: State
laws that allow doctors to declare minor children mentally competent to
consent to vaccination so children can be vaccinated without the
knowledge of their parents.
There is plenty of scientific evidence that
children’s brains are not developed enough before or during teenage
years to support rational benefit and risk decision-making, especially
if they are subjected to pressure. 123 124 Giving
doctors the legal authority to, in effect, go behind parents’ backs and
persuade a minor child to get liability free vaccines violates the
legal right of parents to consent to medical interventions performed on
their children. 125 It also puts vaccine vulnerable children at greater risk for suffering reactions. 126
Parents know their child’s personal and
family medical history best and if parents are left in the dark, not
only are they blocked from preventing vaccine reactions but there is no
way for them to monitor a child after vaccination for signs of reactions
so they can immediately take their child for treatment. 127
Number Four: State
laws requiring schools to publicly post vaccine coverage rates for the
purpose of shaming schools that allow students with vaccine exemptions
to receive a school education.
Publicly posting school vaccination rates
and numbers of students with exemptions creates a hostile community
environment by targeting certain schools and families, whose children
have vaccine exemptions, for discrimination and abuse. 128 129 130
It is an illusion that some schools are
safer based on vaccination rates. For example, even schools with 100
percent vaccination rates and zero exemptions have had outbreaks of
pertussis 131 and schools with very high vaccination rates have had outbreaks of measles and mumps. 132 133 That
is because vaccinated children and adults can get infected with and
transmit infectious diseases but sometimes show few or no symptoms and
are never diagnosed or reported. 134 135 136 137 138 139 140
Children and teachers interact with many
other vaccinated and unvaccinated people outside of the school setting.
It is discriminatory to require public posting of the numbers of healthy
students with vaccine exemptions, when schools are not required to
publicly post the numbers of students who are infected with
transmissible diseases like hepatitis B and C, HIV, streptococcal,
mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus, e-coli, Fifths disease, herpes simplex
and more.
Number Five: State
laws that operate vaccine tracking registries and integrate them into
Electronic Health Records systems without the consent of those being
tracked.
The National Vaccine Information Center has
a two-decade public record of opposing the creation of national or
state based electronic surveillance systems that automatically enroll
children and adults without their informed consent to monitor their
vaccination status and health histories. 141
Not only have there been past security
breaches with electronic databases dumping personally identifying
information into the public domain, 142 but
there is legitimate concern that the government should not be
conducting electronic surveillance on citizens while pursuing a National
Vaccine Plan that encourages punitive societal sanctions, such as the
inability to get a school education or a job, for individuals who refuse
to go along with the Plan.

voluntary vaccine choices are moving in your state so you can make your
voice heard, including showing up at scheduled public hearings.
Making Government Work for Us
In America, we are governed by laws that
the representatives we elect make, so it is important to vet all
candidates for positions on issues you care about before going to the
polls. Good laws can be enacted and bad laws can be repealed but only if
we wake up, stand up and actively participate to make our
representative government work for us.
Already this year, there have been more
than 50 good bills introduced in a number of states that defend
voluntary vaccine choices. This is a time for positive action.
It’s your health. Your family. Your choice.
