to the Governor Regarding Pandemic
Influenza Response Plans

Dear [State Governor, Department of
State Health Representative, State
Representatives, County Representatives,
City and Local Representatives],
After reading our state's Pandemic
Influenza Response Plan [See
http://www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/states/stateplans.html
] we have noted that our governor is the
person in charge of declaring a state of
emergency. If such a declaration is
made, the plan is to set up mass
vaccination clinics throughout the
state. There are several concerns we
have which we would like you to address:
1. Annual influenza vaccines have a poor
track record of preventing the flu.
Every year the same statistics of deaths
attributed to influenza are cited by
both the CDC and the World Health
Organization (36,000 deaths annually in
the U.S. and 250,000 to 500,000
worldwide) while the numbers of
influenza vaccines administered increase
annually. Furthermore, numerous medical
journal articles show that influenza
vaccines have little or no effect on
preventing or minimizing the incidence
of flu. In 1976, when thousands of swine
flu vaccines were administered, there
were serious side effects, including:
death, Guillain-Barre syndrome (a
demyelinating of the nervous system that
can paralyze a person from the neck
down), rheumatoid arthritis, and a
variety of autoimmune diseases.
2. Scientific research shows that
vaccinating over 95% of the population
does not make any difference in
protecting the population from the
virus. It is scientifically recognized
that an attenuated live virus vaccine
can be contagious for up to three weeks,
which is known as Secondary
Transmission. FluMist (produced by
MedImmune) is administered intranasal
(in the nostrils). According to the
package insert, FluMist recipients are
contagious to people they are in contact
with for 21 days. Any reasonable
scientific person would conclude that
vaccines are neither safe nor effective.
The government has made it clear this is
the case by not allowing people to make
claims against vaccine manufacturers for
provable damages resulting from their
vaccines. In other words, vaccines are
so unsafe that they are uninsurable.
3. On May 22, 2009, five pharmaceutical
companies were awarded contracts from
the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for producing pandemic
influenza vaccines for our nation's
stockpile of medical countermeasures.
Another purchase order was made for
additional supplies on July 9, 2009. To
date, MedImmune was awarded $151 million
to produce an intranasal H1N1 pandemic
vaccine and Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline
were awarded nearly $700 million for
bulk oil-in-water adjuvant. (See
https://www.medicalcountermeasures.gov/BARDA/MCM/panflu/factsheet.aspx)
It should be noted that the oil-based
adjuvants these two pharmaceutical
companies produce are not approved by
the Food and Drug Administration for use
in this country. Despite these large
purchases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director
of the Institute of Allergies and
Infectious Diseases, and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (at their
10 regional public meetings on the H1N1
vaccine) have claimed that no adjuvants
will be used in the new H1N1 "pandemic"
vaccine. Through federal legislation
that has passed, the ingredients of a
medical countermeasure are "proprietary"
and will not be disclosed to the public.
The manufacturers and administrators of
these medical countermeasures are also
released of liability should the vaccine
cause death or disability.
4. Forced vaccination is akin to medical
experimentation against a person's will.
Without informed consent, such a mass
vaccination program would violate two
international agreements - The Nuremberg
Code and the World Medical Association
Declaration of Helsinki (1964). (See
http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/irb/irb_appendices.htm#j5
)
Constitutional legal authorities have
made it clear that the WHO and the
Federal Government cannot mandate what a
nation state does, they can only
recommend a position. The state, with
its governor as its leader, has the
final say in whether mass medication of
its citizens with an experimental
vaccine will occur or not. Given this
information, lawyers have suggested it
may be considered official malfeasance
for state and federal health officials
to advance such unconstitutional
policies and engage in such procedures.
Since there is no time to pass
legislation and given the above
information, we need to know that you
will make the necessary changes to our
state's influenza pandemic response plan
allowing for vaccine exemptions. We also
need to know that you will not be
initiating such a mass vaccination plan
by declaring a state of emergency.
We, as parents and grandparents, given
the lack of informed consent
(proprietary ingredients), lack of
safety studies, the track record of
annual flu vaccines, and the "immune
from liability" status of manufacturers,
government officials and administrators
of the H1N1 vaccine demand exemption
options. Specifically, we request the
same exemptions allowed for any other
vaccines: religious, philosophical,
medical, and the right to
self-quarantine.
Please contact me as soon as possible.
We are willing and able to give you
detailed legal and scientific
information explaining this request in
more depth.
Respectfully,
Name, Address, Phone, Email
