Protect Vaccine Choice in Hawaii!

Many states have laws that allow patients to exempt themselves from vaccinations based on personal, philosophical, or religious beliefs. That way, parents who are wary of government-mandated vaccination schedules can make their own informed decisions about their family’s health.

The Hawaii legislature is considering a set of bills that would severely restrict your freedom of choice when it comes to vaccination in a number of ways.

These bills would: eliminate the religious belief exemption to vaccination for public school students; require that the state director of health implement rules for vaccine requirements, as they are recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, but do so without any public input; mandate that all students entering 7th grade in Hawaii receive at least one dose of the HPV (human papillomavirus/Gardasil) vaccine; and mandate health care workers receive a yearly flu vaccine.

If the religious exemption to vaccination is removed only the medical exemption remains, and these are typically given only in extreme cases.

Take action to preserve our health freedom! Contact your state legislators and tell them to vote NO on HB 1910/SB 2316, HB 1945/SB 2394, and HB 1722.

Please protect vaccine choice

Dear [Decision Maker],

I understand a  set of bills have been introduced (HB 1910/SB 2316, HB 1945/SB 2394, and HB 1722) that would severely restrict freedom of choice when it comes to vaccination.

Specifically:

HB 1910 and SB 2316 would mandate that all students entering 7th grade in Hawaii receive at least one dose of the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine.

HB 1945 and SB 2394 would mandate health care workers receive a yearly flu vaccine.

HB 1722 would eliminate the religious belief exemption to vaccination for public school students.

These bills raise a number of concerns for parents, children, and patients in general.

Parents have a right to make their own decisions about treatments for their children based on informed consent. Limiting a patient's ability to make informed decisions about what gets put into their body violates medical ethics.

I know that the vaccination question is a hotly debated topic, even in the medical community. Many parents are concerned that some vaccines are unsafe because they may contain harmful ingredients like mercury or aluminum. A study published in Current Medical Chemistry in 2011 stated that the "continued use of aluminum adjuvants in various vaccines for children as well as the general public may be of significant concern" because "aluminum presented in this form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications and may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences."

You don't need to take my word for it. The pharmaceutical companies themselves have acknowledged the dangers of their products. One of the fathers of Merck's vaccine program warned the company that six month olds would suffer dangerous exposure to mercury after being vaccinated. Eli Lilly conducted studies which concluded that thimerosal, the vaccine preservative that contains mercury, was toxic in concentrations as low as one part per million, which is 100 times weaker than the concentration found in some flu vaccines.

In regard to the HPV vaccine, there have been serious questions as to whether the vaccine is associated with premature ovarian failure.

To force individuals, such as health care workers, to expose themselves to such risks hardly seems ethical.

In addition, others believe the overloading of a young immune system with so many vaccines at once causes genetic changes. Some generally support vaccinations but wish there were more scientific clarity.

However, I think we all can agree that we need to keep information clear, unambiguous, and uncensored, and to allow people to make informed choices for themselves and their families--especially when so much information and evidence exists of the possible dangers posed by some vaccines.

Current law protects both my family's health and our right to make our own healthcare choices, and I call upon you to oppose any legislation that would restrict my, and my family's, freedom of choice when it comes to vaccination.

Sincerely,
