I. BASIC PHYSICIANÕS VACCINE EXEMPTION LETTER

 

To whom it may concern:

Re: (name of child)

 

            As the physician of (full name), I request that (he or she) be exempt from all vaccinations for the following reasons:

1. (name) is extremely sensitive to chemicals and metals, including those used to stabilize and preserve vaccines.  For this reason, vaccination could cause (name) to have a serious or even fatal allergic reaction.

Chemicals used in vaccines that could cause a reaction in (name) include formaldehyde, neomycin, polymyxin, streptomycin, thimerosal, aluminum phosphate, aluminum hydroxide, sorbitol, yeast protein, phosphate buffers, glutamate, calf serum, and monkey serum.

 

2. (name) is following a nutritional healing program that, in our experience, will protect (him or her) in the event of exposure to the various diseases for which (he or she) would normally receive vaccination.

 

3. By not being vaccinated, (name) does not pose a threat to any other children because, if they are vaccinated, they should be protected from the diseases for which they are vaccinated.  However, the parents of (name) understand that, in the event of a disease outbreak at school, (name) may be required to remain at home and not attend school until the outbreak is over.

 

Sincerely yours,

(name of physician)

 

II. PARENTÕS LETTER EXPLAINING MEDICAL REASONS FOR VACCINE REFUSAL

 

As the parent/guardian of________________, birthdate___________ ,

 

I have investigated the risks and benefits of the following vaccines and diseases. I am aware that there are documented cases of people contracting diseases for which they are clinically fully immunized and that the manufacturers of the vaccines do not guarantee 100% efficacy.

I am also aware that VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) documented cases of over 54,000 adverse reactions from vaccines in a 20-month period. The National Vaccine Injury Fund, created in 1986 to compensate those damaged by vaccines, has paid out over one billion dollars in compensation to date.

 

POLIO: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing paralytic disease and meningitis associated with poliomyelitis. I understand that even under epidemic conditions, natural polio produces no symptoms in over 90% of those exposed to it (1).

I understand that there have been no cases of wild polio in the US in the last 20 years and that those cases which have been documented have been caused by the vaccine (2). I understand the following side effects for the vaccine are possible: 

Killed virus polio: temperature of 102' in up to 38%, sleepiness, fussiness, crying, decreased appetite, vomiting, Guillian-Barre syndrome and allergic reaction in those allergic to neomycin, polymyxin and streptomycin. Precautions include those who have had a previous negative reaction, pregnant women, and possibly those with HIV/AIDS or otherwise compromised immune systems.

Live virus polio: Reactions include contraction of polio by those who have received the virus and by those who have come into contact with body fluids and wastes of the immunized person. Paralytic symptoms may follow contraction of polio. 

Live virus is reportedly shed for up to eight weeks after the inoculation. Guillian-Barre syndrome has also been noted. Not recommended for use in households where someone has a compromised Immune system, for pregnant women, or where a previous reaction has been reported (3).

Killed polio virus vaccine is grown on monkey kidney cells, contains formaldehyde, and triple antibiotics. Poliovax is grown on cells from an aborted baby, contains formaldehyde, cow serum and triple antibiotic solution (4).

The monkey kidney cells used In the origlnal killed polio vaccine contains SV-40 virus and has been found in tumor cells of children whose parent's were vaccinated against polio using the contaminated virus (5). The live vaccine is grown on monkey kidney cells, antibiotics and calf serum.      

Initial_____       Date_____

 

HEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE B: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing meningitis (although this vaccine will not protect the child from meningitis from all other forms such as pneumococcus, and meningococcus, viruses, and fungi), pneumonia, and infections of the blood, joints, bone, and soft tissue associated with Hemophilus Influenzae B.

I understand that this disease is most likely in children up to 15 months of age and is fatal in 3-6% of children who contract it. Incidence of this disease today is low and the vaccine has not proven to be highly effective in 41% of cases, according to some studies (6).

Treatment is available. The vaccine is often combined with the DPT, which has the highest reaction rate of any vaccine available today. Reactions include: contracting HIB, localized pain, erithema and induration, fever up to 100.6', irritability, lethargy, anorexia, rhinorrhea, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, when administered alone. Reactions occurred in up to 30% of patients.

When administered in conjunction with the DPT, reactions include local tenderness erythema and induration, fever up to 100.811, irritability, drowsiness, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, persistent crying, seizures, urticaria, hives, renal failure, Guillian-Barre syndrome and death. Reactions occurred in up to 77.9% of patients (7).

The vaccine contains yeast, thimerosal (mercury derivative), and diphtheria toxoid when given alone (8).

Initial_____  Date_____

 

PERTUSSIS: I have been informed of the risk of my child-developing whooping cough, pneumonia, convulsions, inflammation of the brain, and death associated with pertussis. I understand the disease is rarely fatal, with a 99.8% recovery rate, it is most serious and life-threatening in children under 6 months old, but there are adequate methods of treatment available (9).

The vaccine is most often given in conjunction with diphtheria and tetanus as the DPT or as the DAPT. Pertussis vaccine may cause: fevers up to 106 degrees, pain swelling, diarrhea, projectile vomiting, excessive sleepiness, high-pitched screaming, inconsolable crying bouts, seizures, convulsions, collapse, shock, breathing problems, brain damage and SIDS. One in 600 suffer a severe reaction. 

In one study (10), 1 in 875 suffered shock-collapse and convulsions(11). Those in the 2nd study were only tracked for the first 48 hours following immunization. A more recent study indicates that 1 in 100 react with convulsions, collapse, or high-pitched screaming and 1 in 3 of those cases sustained permanent brain damage (12).

In a study of 103 children who died of SIDS, 70% died within 3 weeks of the DPT vaccine and 37% of those died within the first week (13). The DAPT is recommended as a safer option for vaccination. Side effects of the DAPT were only tracked for 72 hours and included: tenderness, erythema, induration, fever up to 102.2 degrees, drowsiness, fretfulness, vomiting, upper respiratory infection, diarrhea, rash, febrile seizures, persistent or unusual crying, lethargy, hypronic or hyporesponslve episode, urticaria, anaphylactic shock, convulsions, encephalopathy, mono and polyneuropathies and death (14).

Not recommended for children under 15 months or for those who have not had 3 injections of the DPT.  Either form of the vaccine contains thimerosal (mercury derivative), formaldehyde, and aluminum phosphate (I5).

Initial_____  Date_____

 

DIPHTHERIA: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing paralysis, heart failure, or respiratory failure associated with diphtheria. I have also been informed that there have only been 5 cases reported annually since 1980 (16).

I am also aware that diphtheria is rarely fatal and treated with antibiotics and bed rest (17). The Diphtheria component is most often given within the DPT or DAPT and includes the same side effects and reactions as those listed for pertussis.

Initial_____ Date_____

 

TETANUS: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing fatal neuro-muscular disease related to tetanus.  I understand that the incidence of tetanus is low, and there is an antitoxin, should we decline the immunization.

I understand that contracting tetanus does not provide life-long immunity, and neither does the vaccine. I understand that to prevent more severe reactions from the vaccine, the tetanus component has been so significantly "diluted" that it is clinically ineffective (18).

I understand that the death rate for properly treated cases of tetanus may be as high as 20% (19). Side effects of the tetanus vaccine alone include: high fever, pain, recurrent abscess formation, inner ear nerve damage, demyelinating neuropathy, anaphylactic shock and loss of consciousness (20). Tetanus given in the DPT or DAPT shot include the same side effects and reactions as those listed for pertussis.

Initial_____ Date_____

 

RUBEOLA (MEASLES): I have been informed of the risk of my child developing pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), degenerative disease of the nervous system with convulsions (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) related to rubeola.

I understand the death rate for measles is .03 in 100,000 (21). I understand that since 1984, over 55% of documented, confirmed cases of measles have been in fully immunized persons (22).

I understand that the greatest risk of the measles vaccine may be to push the incidence of this disease into the late teens and adulthood where it is more likely to be fatal or cause more adverse and long-term effects (23).

The measles vaccine is a live vaccine, and carries the risk that it will cause the patient to contract measles. Other adverse reactions include: stinging or burning at the injection site, anaphylaxis, fever up to one month following injection, rash, cough, rhinitis, erythema multiforme, lymphadenopathy, urticaria, diarrhea, febrile convulsions, seizures, thrombocytopenia, purpura, vasculitis, optic neuritis, retrobulbar neuritis, papillitis, retinitis, encephalitis and encephalopathy, ocular palsies, Guillain-Barre syndrome, ataxia, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (24).

Measles vaccine is most often given as a part of the MMR which includes the following side effects: burning or stinging at injection site, malaise, sore throat, cough, rhinitis, headache, dizziness, fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, erythema, induration, tenderness, lymphadenopathy, parotitis, orchitis, nerve deafness, thrombocytopenia, purpura, allergic reactions, urticaria, polyneuritis, arthralgia, arthritis, anaphylaxis, vasculitis, otitis media, conjunctivitis, febrile convulsions, seizures, syncope, erythema multiforme, optic neuritis, retrobulbar neuritis, papillitis, retinitis, encephalitis and encephalopathy, ocular palsies, Guillain- Barre syndrome, ataxia, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (25), and a recent study from Europe indicates that there may be a link between the MMR (measles/ mumps/rubella) vaccine and autism and irritable bowel syndrome (26).

Measles vaccine contains chick embryo cells, neomycin, sorbitol and hydrolyzed gelatin. MMR contains all live vaccines, chick embryo, cells from aborted babies, neomycin, sorbitol and hydrolyzed gelatin(27).

Initial_____ Date_____

 

MUMPS: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing inflammation of the testicles, joints, kidneys, and/or thyroid, and hearing impairment related to mumps. I understand that mumps is rarely harmful in childhood, and that most of the above risks occur when mumps is contracted in adolescence or adulthood (28). I understand that there is a Mumps vaccine which poses the following risks: contraction of mumps from the live vaccine, burning or stinging at the injection site, anaphylaxis, cough, rhinitis, fever, diarrhea, vasculitis, parotitis, orchitis, purpura, urticaria, erythema multiforme, optic neuritis, retrobulbar neuritis, syncope, encephalitis, febrile seizures, and nerve deafness (29).

Mumps is usually given in the MMR and may cause those side effects and adverse reactions as noted in the measles section above. Mumps vaccine is live and should hot be given to pregnant women. It is cultured in chick embryos and contains sorbitol and hydrolyzed gelatin (30).

Initial_____ Date_____

 

RUBELLA (GERMAN MEASLES): I have been informed of the risk of my child developing inflammation of the brain or joints, and of the risk of birth defects (including eye defects, heart defects, deafness, mental retardation, growth failure, jaundice, and disorders of blood clotting) in infants born to mothers who contract rubella during pregnancy, related to rubella. Therefore, I understand that the greatest risk to my child may be if she never contracts rubella as a child, but when she is pregnant and it damages her unborn child. If she contracts rubella in child-hood, she is immune for life, and prior to the vaccine, 85% of the population was immune (31). I understand that if she is not immune as an adult, she can choose to take the vaccine prior to becoming pregnant. I understand that many of those who contract rubella have been immunized (up to 80%) (32). Adverse reactions among teenage girls is 5-10% and 30% in adult women (33). Adverse reactions include: contracting rubella from the live virus in the vaccine, burning or stinging at the site, lymphadenopathy, urticaria, rash, malaise, sore throat, fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, polyneuritis, arthralgia, arthritis, local pain and inflammation, erythema multiforme, cough, rhinitis, vasculitis, anaphy- laxis, syncope, optic neuritis, retrobulbar neuritis, papillitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, encephalitis, thrombocytopenia, purpura, and chronic fatigue syndrome (34).

Rubella is most often administered in the MMR and may cause those side effects and adverse reactions listed under measles. Rubella is cultured on the tissue of an aborted child; the 27th child aborted and tested due to exposure by his mother when she was Pregnant. It contains neomycin, sorbitol and hydrolyzed gelatin (35).

Initial_____ Date_____

 

HEPATITIS B: I have been informed of the risk of my child developing Hepatitis B viral infection, which can cause chronic inflammation of the liver leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer and possibly death. I understand that my child's risk of developing hepatitis B is low if I am not a carrier or infected, if my child does not engage in promiscuous sex or use drugs.

I understand that there is antibiotic treatment for hepatitis B and that most of those who contract it recover (36). I understand that the HepB vaccine only contains strains of HepB and is not effective against Hep A, C, D, E, F, or G.

I understand that the HepB vaccine has the following side effect and adverse reactions: induration, erythema, swelling, fever, headache, dizziness, pain, pruritus, echymosis, sweating, malaise, chills, weakness, flushing, tingling, hypotension, flu-like symptoms, upper respiratory illness, nausea, anorexia, abdominal pain and cramping, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy, pain or stiffness in muscles and joints, arthralgia, myalgia, back pain, rash, urticaria, petechiae, sleepiness, insomnia, irritability, agitation, anaphylaxis, angioedema, arthritis, tachycardia/palpitations, bronchospasm, abnormal liver function tests, dyspepsia, migraine, syncope, paresis neuropathy, hypothesis, paresthesis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Bell's palsy, transverse myelitis, optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, thrombocytopenia, eczema, purpura, herpes zoster, erythema nodosum, alopecia, conjunctivitis, keratitis, visual disturbances, vertigo, tinnitus, earache, and dysuria (37). The studies only followed patients for 4 days post-vaccination.

The most commonly used HepB vaccine contains thimerosal, although a relatively new release does not contain thimerosal and is limited for use in newborns. The vaccine also contains: aluminum hydroxide, yeast protein, and phosphate buffers (38).

Initial_____ Date_____

 

VARICELLA(CHICKENPOX): I have been informed of the risk of my child developing chicken pox which could potentially result in pneumonia, secondary skin or generalized infections, or, if caught during pregnancy, birth defects in the baby. I understand chicken pox is generally benign in children, but results in significant lost hours at work for parents. Chicken pox in adults often manifests as shingles, a chronic and painful condition. I also understand that contracting chicken pox later in life may increase my risk for herpes simplex.

Side effects and adverse reactions for the chicken pox vaccine include: contracting chicken pox from the live vaccine (27%), pain and redness at site, swelling, erythema, rash, pruritus, hematoma, induration, stiffness, upper respiratory illness, cough, irritability, nervousness, fatigue, disturbed sleep, diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting, otitis, diaper rash/contact rash, nausea, eye complaints, chills, lymphadenopathy, myalgia, lower respiratory illness, headache, teething, malaise, abdominal pain, other rash, allergic reactions including rash and hives, stiff neck, heat rash/prickly heat, arthralgia, eczema/dry skin/dermatitis, constipation, itching, pneunonitis, febrile seizures, and cold/canker sore (39).

Varicelia vaccine is cultured on cells from aborted babies, and guinea pig cell cultures. It contains live virus, glutamate, sucrose, phosphate, processed gelatin, neomycin and fetal calf serum (40).

III. RELIGIOUS REASONS FOR VACCINE REFUSAL

 

To Whom It May Concern

 

Based upon the teachings of the Bible, it is our religious conviction not to have our children vaccinated.

Public Law 97-280, passed by the 97th Congress of the United States of America, declares the Bible to be the "Word of God" and directs citizens to "study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. "The Bible teaches that the truthfulness of an issue is to be sought and should stand on no less than two or more witnesses (Deuteronomy 19: 15).

A diligent search for truth on the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations reveals there are many studied, and informed and qualified witnesses, who have found and teach that there are serious health risks involved with vaccinations.

Even Senate Bill 732 before the 103rd Congress of the United States known as the "Comprehensive Child Health Immunization Act of 1993", made known the fact that there are risks to vaccines.  The following words are from that bill: Vaccine information materials should be simplified to ensure that parents can understand the benefits and risks of vaccines.

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO SUBJECT OUR CHILDREN TO THE RISKS OF VACCINATION. TO DO ANYTHING LESS WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE AND SINFUL AS CHRISTIAN PARENTS.

 

The Bible teaches that there are clean and unclean animals and that God's people are not to put the unclean into their bodies (Deuteronomy 14). Furthermore, the Bible teaches that Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself (Deuteronomy 14:21) and flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. (Genesis 9:4).

Vaccines are often made of, or in bodies, fetuses or eggs of said unclean creatures.

The process of creating the vaccine often causes said creatures to die in the process (i.e., death of itself). Many vaccines are made in or of the blood of diseased animals.

ŌKnow ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God'sĶ (I Corinthians 6:19,20).

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO HAVE OUR CIDLDREN VACCINATED. TO DO SO WOULD BE TO VIOLATE THESE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE.

 

The Bible teaches that we are not to harm or wrong our neighbor (Romans 13:10: James 2:8). Our decision to decline vaccinations does not wrong or threaten our neighbor. If vaccinations are truly effective then vaccinated neighbors would be in no danger from someone who is not vaccinated.

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN OUR DECISION TO NOT HAVE OUR CIDLDREN VACCINATED DOES NOT ENDANGER OR HARM OUR NEIGHBOR AND THUS OUR NEIGHBOR HAS NO JUST CAUSE TO EVER TRY TO FORCE VACCINATIONS UPON OUR CHILDREN.

 

The Bible teaches children are a gift from God to the parents (psalm 127:3) and further teaches the parents (not the state) are entrusted with the care and welfare of the child (1 Timothy 5:8). The Bible also teaches there have been times in history when evil government and government employees have attempted through force, intimidation, or the color of law to harm and destroy the children of God's people (Exodus I and 2 and Matthew 2).

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DO OUR GOD GIVEN DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT AND DEFEND OUR CHILDREN FROM ANY SUCH FORCE OR INDIVIDUALS BENT UPON SUBJECTING OUR CHILDREN TO THE RISKS OF VACCINES.

 

The Bible teaches that when man's law contradicts God's Law, His people must obey God over men.  But Peter and the apostles answered and said, "'We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) There is much Bible Case Law in support of this position such as Daniel versus Darius (Daniel 6) and Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego versus Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 3:13).

Concerning the safety of children, both the Hebrew midwives (Exodus 1) and the parents of Moses (Exodus 2) refused to obey the law of man that put the children in peril. By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. (Hebrews 11:23).

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN SHOULD ANY POLICY, EDICT, OR LEGISLATION OF MAN DECREE OUR CHILDREN MUST BE VACCINATED, WE MUST AND WILL OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MAN AND AS MOSES' PARENTS OF OLD AND WE WILL DO SO WITHOUT FEAR.

 

The Bible teaches that God's people are to be humble, peaceful and desirous of a tranquil and quiet life (1 Timothy2:2) and to do all they can to be at peace with others. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be a peace with all men. (Romans 12:18).

However, the Bible also teaches that if and when anyone (including government bureaucrats in the 21st century A.D.) attempts to harm or to take one's children or family members, one must respond appropriately. In the case of the Bible story of Abraham's nephew, Lot, being taken by kingÕs men, there were very severe consequences incurred by them. (Genesis 14 and Romans 15:4)

THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN THAT WE DESIRE TO BE AT PEACE WITH THOSE WHO MAY FEEL OR THINK DIFFERENTLY THAN WE ON THIS ISSUE OF VACCINATIONS AND THAT IS WHY WE HUMBLY EXPLAIN THE CHOICE WE HAVE MADE. BUT, BE IT KNOWN, SHOULD ANYONE EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ATTEMPT TO FORCE VACCINATIONS UPON OUR CHILDREN OR ATTEMPT TO TAKE THEM OR ANY FAMILY MEMBER WHO DEFENDS THEM-CAVEAT (beware).

 

Humbly and peacefully submitted with obedience to and trust in the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible.
