Increased Access to Cannabis May Reduce Opioid Prescriptions
GreenMedInfo Research Group, Guest
Waking Times
Since 2013, the rate of deaths caused by drug overdoses in the U.S. has been rising, with the largest increase being in opioid drug-related deaths.[i] In 2017 alone, 47,600 drug overdose-related deaths involved opioids, a staggering 67.8% of the total overdose deaths reported that year, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that 130 Americans die daily due to opioid overdose.[ii]
As the opioid epidemic worsens, health officials and some lawmakers have turned to cannabis as a possible solution to reducing the opioid crisis.
Cannabis as an Alternative for Pain Relief
One of the most well-researched benefits of cannabis is pain relief. A report published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded, “[T]here is substantial evidence that cannabis is an effective treatment for chronic pain in adults,” and those findings aren’t new.[iii]
Medical cannabis is superior to opioids when used for chronic pain , has minimal adverse effects compared to opioids, and boasts additional positive effects on ailments such as post-traumatic stress and cancer.[iv],[v],[vi]
Given these benefits, it’s not surprising that health officials have wondered if cannabis and its pain-relieving effects could be the solution to the opioid epidemic.[vii],[viii] A report published by the Journal of Health Economics found that medicinal marijuana access laws reduced morphine milligrams prescribed each year by 4.2%.
The same study reported that similar laws for recreational cannabis reduced opioid prescriptions by 11.8% each year.[ix] Additionally, in states that have legalized cannabis use, cannabis has been linked with a reduction in other controlled substances, such as benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety drugs), over-the-counter sleep aids and other prescription drugs.[x],[xi],[xii]
Skeptics may wonder why policies to reduce opioid prescriptions aren’t a better alternative, but simply reducing access to opioids — such as through drug monitoring programs — doesn’t seem to work. Instead, opioid users may turn to more dangerous drugs with similar chemical structures and physiological impacts, like heroin, which are low cost and highly available.[xiii],[xiv]
However, researchers have discovered that increased access to cannabis allows opioid users to use cannabis for pain relief, seemingly without any significant increases in heroin or other illicit drug use.
Additional Medical Benefits of Cannabis
Beyond its potent pain-relieving capabilities, marijuana has been positively linked to the following conditions:
Epilepsy: Cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic extract of cannabis, has anti-seizure, neuroprotective and antidepressant effects. Multiple studies have found that cannabidiol is as effective as common anti- epileptic drugs, and may be a safer alternative especially in the treatment of epileptic infants, children and teenagers or drug-resistant epileptic patients. [xv] , [xvi]
Cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic extract of cannabis, has anti-seizure, neuroprotective and antidepressant effects. Multiple studies have found that cannabidiol is as effective as common anti- drugs, and may be a safer alternative especially in the treatment of epileptic infants, children and teenagers or drug-resistant epileptic patients. Inflammation: Cannabinoids have been shown to reduce inflammation and help regulate the immune system, making cannabinoid a possible treatment for chronic and acute inflammation. [xvii] , [xviii]
Cannabinoids have been shown to reduce and help regulate the immune system, making cannabinoid a possible treatment for chronic and acute inflammation. Multiple sclerosis (MS): A growing body of evidence has shown that cannabis and its compounds could effectively reduce symptoms of multiple sclerosis, other neurologic disorders and spinal cord related injuries.[xix],[xx] In addition to mitigating symptoms, some studies have indicated that cannabis could reduce the progression of MS.[xxi]
Given the positive effects, safety profile and low risk of addiction, cannabis remains a strong candidate in the continuing fight against opioid overuse and addiction. For additional information on the researched medical benefits of cannabis and cannabidiol, visit the GreenMedInfo.com databases on the subject.

Rudolf Steiner’s System of Anthroposophy Has a Unique Take on the Connection Between 5G and Viruses
Phillip Schneider, Staff Writer
Waking Times
Having served as Vice President of the Physicians Association for Anthroposophical Medicine and as a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Dr. Thomas Cowan is a leader in the field of alternative medicine.
As described on his website, “he has studied and written about many subjects in medicine…[including] anthroposophical medicine and herbal medicine.” Anthroposophy is a medical theory which posits an objective spiritual world that interacts with and influences our physical health and well-being.
According to the father of anthroposophy Rudolph Steiner, and as described by Cowan, a virus is an excretion of a cell which has become poisoned. From their unique perspective, a virus is not the cause of an illness, but merely a symptom. The cause of illness, according to an anthroposophist, is a disturbance in the electrical equilibrium of the body.
Leading up to 1918, radios had been distributed across the western world, casting their waves across large swaths of land. This, according to Cowan, was a major factor in the rise of the deadly Spanish Flu. More recently however, the amount of radio waves in the environment, ranging from WiFi to cell phone towers to radar systems, has increased considerably.
“There has been a dramatic and quantum leap in the last six months with the electrification of the Earth. I’m sure a lot of you know what that is; it’s called 5G.”
“That is not compatible with health,” Cowan argues. In a way, he’s right. A study published in 2018 titled Wi-Fi is an important threat to human health concludes that exposure to Wi-Fi and EMF can contribute to several ailments including DNA damage, hormonal changes, a decline in male reproductive health, and cancer-causing oxidative stress caused by a rise in the level of peroxynitrites in the body.
“We are in an existential crisis here, folks. The likes of which humankind has never seen…This is something that is unprecedented, the putting of 100 thousand satellites in the very blanket of the Earth.” – Dr. Thomas Cowan
Although Cowan makes some very interesting points about viruses and 5G, mainstream science would not dare explore such an esoteric perspective on health and how the electric world around us affects the physical body. And Covid-19 continues to spread around the country, the US government is drafting a relief bill which just happens to include provisions to speed up the national rollout of 5G.

Coronavirus: Toxic Drugs, No Liability for Pharma

First, we have this, from the World Health Organization (WHO): “There is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19).”
Nevertheless, doctors around the world, often with the approval of their national governments, are treating many patients with experimental or “off-label” antiviral drugs.
Here are some names of the medicines: Chloroquine, Remdesivir, Ribavirin, favipiravir, lopinavir; ritonavir, hydroxychloroquine, Sofosbuvir, corticosteroids, oseltamivir, zanamivir.
They all have adverse effects.
What to do?
Answer: decide that no one who is injured by the drugs can file a suit.
In America: Done.
From druganddevicelawblog.com, March 18, 2020, “We Finally Have Something To Say About COVID-19”:
“On March 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) published in the Federal Register a ‘notice of declaration’ conferring broad-based immunity from tort (including product liability) litigation for those engaging in ‘activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19.’ This declaration is now published at 85 Fed. Reg. 15198 (HHS March 17, 2020).” “HHS is conferring tort immunity…The immunity extends to ‘any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures’…The immunity extends not only to COVID-19-fighting drugs, but also to ‘products or technologies intended to enhance the use or effect of a drug, biological product [vaccine], or device used against the pandemic’…The only exception is for ‘willful misconduct’.” “The immunity being conferred shoves other federal laws aside as well as preempting state law.”
And that takes care of that.
A patient is given an antiviral drug and dies? No law suit can be filed. Anyone associated with the drug, from manufacturer down to prescribing doctor, is exempt from liability.
Take one example of a drug, Chloroquine. It’s approved for the treatment of malaria, and now some doctors are using it on their COVID patients. From webmd.com, here is the “side effects” section (note: once the page loads, then click on the “Side Effects” tab at the top of the page):

Shocking new satellite imagery has been released by the European Space Agency (ESA) that shows the massive decrease in air pollution over China following the coronavirus outbreak and nationwide lockdown, as well as the rapid return of emissions as the country’s quarantine measures were eased.
The imagery compares air pollution levels—specifically nitrogen dioxide emissions produced by the burning of fossil fuels over China—between December 20 and March 16, and is based on data from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite. Similar images taken between January 1 and March 11 over Italy revealed a major drop in pollution as the European nation implemented major controls to curb the spread of the novel virus.
The ESA reported:
“As news of the coronavirus broke out in the Hubei province, China, in late December 2019, stricter measures were put in place. As a result, by late January, factories were closed and streets were cleared as Chinese authorities had ceased daily activities to stop the spread of the illness. This led to the dramatic reduction in nitrogen dioxide concentrations—those released by power plants, industrial facilities and vehicles—in all major Chinese cities between late-January and February. The drop in concentrations also coincided with Lunar New Year celebrations, which usually sees a similar drop in concentrations each year.”
ESA mission manager Claus Zehner believes that nitrogen dioxide levels had dropped to roughly 60 percent amid China’s draconian, and largely effective, lockdown measures.
The agency also noted:
“By combining satellite observations with detailed computer models of the atmosphere, their studies indicated a reduction of around 20-30 percent in surface particulate matter over large parts of China.”
On Monday, China once again reported no new community transmissions of the virus but confirmed that 39 infections had been brought in from abroad while nine more people died in Wuhan, where the virus first emerged. No new cases of the novel coronavirus have been registered in Wuhan for five consecutive days.
As China continues to successfully beat back the CoViD-19 outbreak, social control measures in the Communist Party-governed East Asian giant have been relaxed. In recent days, over 500 cinema screen have reopened in the country, reports Variety.
Trends in the People’s Republic that show people trickling back to work and communities returning to a state of relative normalcy stand in sharp contrast to the developing crisis in the West, where new infections have rapidly been cascading, resulting in mass panic, upended markets, and a mad dash by governments to coordinate their response.

thewakingtimes--2020-03-24--PG&E Pleads Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter for Sparking California’s Deadliest Fire

California utility Pacific Gas & Electric ( PG & E ) will plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter for sparking the state ’ s deadliest wildfire , the company announced Monday .
The announcement comes a little less than a year after an investigation confirmed that power lines owned by the utility sparked the Camp Fire , which burned 153,336 acres , killed 85 people and scorched the town of Paradise .
The plea is part of a March 17 agreement with the Butte County District Attorney ’ s office .
According to the agreement , the county would drop all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in exchange , it would plead guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of accidentally starting a fire .
It would also pay a fine of $ 3.5 million maximum and $ 500,000 in legal costs , as well as put $ 15 million towards water for residents who relied on the Miocene Canal destroyed in the fire .
The announcement also comes three days after California Gov .
Gavin Newsom said he was willing to approve PG & E ’ s plan to emerge from bankruptcy , which it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billions in liabilities from the fires .
As part of that agreement , it would pay $ 13.5 billion to fire victims , The New York Times reported .

PG&E Pleads Guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter for Sparking California’s Deadliest Fire

Waking Times
California utility Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) will plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter for sparking the state’s deadliest wildfire, the company announced Monday.
The announcement comes a little less than a year after an investigation confirmed that power lines owned by the utility sparked the Camp Fire, which burned 153,336 acres, killed 85 people and scorched the town of Paradise.
“We cannot replace all that the fire destroyed, but our hope is that this plea agreement, along with our rebuilding efforts, will help the community move forward from this tragic incident,” PG&E Chief Executive Bill Johnson said in a statement reported by Reuters.
The plea is part of a March 17 agreement with the Butte County District Attorney’s office. According to the agreement, the county would drop all criminal proceedings against the utility and, in exchange, it would plead guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of accidentally starting a fire. It would also pay a fine of $3.5 million maximum and $500,000 in legal costs, as well as put $15 million towards water for residents who relied on the Miocene Canal destroyed in the fire.
The announcement also comes three days after California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he was willing to approve PG&E’s plan to emerge from bankruptcy, which it entered in early 2019 as it faced billions in liabilities from the fires. As part of that agreement, it would pay $13.5 billion to fire victims, The New York Times reported.
The plea agreement announced Monday still needs to be approved by the state and bankruptcy courts.
The manslaughter plea might make it easier for fire victims to claim damages from the utility, but many expressed anger at the agreement.
Paradise resident Kirk Trostle, who lost his home to the flames and saw his family dispersed after the fire, told The New York Times he wanted to see charges brought against PG&E officers.
“They decimated my entire town,” Mr. Trostle said. “To me, this is just a drop in the bucket for what should be happening to PG&E.”
Mindy Spatt of the Utility Reform Network agreed.
“You know, if corporations are people as the Supreme Court has suggested, PG&E would be in jail right now. That is normally the penalty for manslaughter,” Spatt told The Los Angeles Times. “I think from the customer end, it kind of feels like PG&E got away with murder.”
The fire was sparked when a tower more than 100 years old malfunctioned. The utility had failed to inspect it for nearly 20 years.
While PG&E is to blame for the the immediate spark, the fire was also partly fueled by hot, dry conditions made more likely by the climate crisis.

thewakingtimes--2020-03-24--The National Plan to Vaccinate Every American

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 .
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 .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
However , there is no question about what will happen if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ’ s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ( ACIP ) recommends that all Americans get the newly licensed coronavirus vaccine .
The government has a national vaccine plan .
It is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your child and everyone in America gets every dose of every vaccine that government officials recommend now and in the future .
1986 to 1996 : Establishing and Creating the Plan Established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act during the Reagan Administration , the plan didn ’ t really get traction until Congress funded the Vaccines for Children program in 1993 under the Clinton administration and gave the Department of Health and Human Services authority to fund a network of state-based electronic vaccine tracking registries that can monitor the vaccination histories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
Federal officials explained that “ 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.
” By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Electronic Health Records ( EHR ) system under HIPPA , the stage had been set for a government-operated electronic surveillance system to monitor the personal medical records and vaccination status of all Americans .
The justification for this big data grab by the government , which clearly violated the privacy of Americans , was to “ protect the public by reducing disease.
” 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 , 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 .
A new Health Information Exchange initiative funded by the government will make it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ records databases to tag , track down and sanction Americans who do not go along with the National Vaccine Plan in the future .
What Happened to the Duty to Prevent Adverse Reactions ?
Ironically , when Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services to create the National Vaccine Program in the 1986 Act , federal health officials were told to put together a plan to “ achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to vaccines.
” The plan was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
The 2010 version of the Plan 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 .
Looking back , it appears Congress was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
Instead , government agencies have brazenly forged lucrative public private business partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment to : • Raise vaccination rates among children to nearly 100 % • Promote global vaccination programs , even though the primary purpose of the 1986 Act was to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ childhood vaccine supply , 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 “ The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides a vision for the U.S. vaccine and immunization enterprise for the next decade.
” That ’ s because they know the National Vaccine Plan is really a Vaccine Marketing Plan for the pharmaceutical industry .
So , if you are wondering why many states are trying to pass laws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine the pharmaceutical industry produces and the CDC recommends , 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 “ unavoidably unsafe ” for the purpose of removing almost all remaining liability from drug companies when vaccines hurt people .
Since 2011 , two powerful CDC-appointed vaccine advisory committees influenced by members associated with the pharmaceutical and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Immunization Practices ( ACIP ) and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee ( NVAC ) — 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 and in New York in 2019 , with military precision pursuit of the plan was kicked into even high gear .
During the past five years , California , Vermont , New York , Maine and Hawaii have lost vaccine exemptions , even though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in protest .
In 2019 , the people managed to hold on to exemptions in Oregon , Arizona and New Jersey but this year , bills to force vaccine use are already threatening parental , civil and human rights in Virginia , Massachusetts , Florida , Washington , Pennsylvania and more .
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 : 1.State laws that eliminate all personal belief vaccine exemptions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 % for core vaccines like polio , pertussis , measles and chickenpox , yet , government health officials are not satisfied .
They have narrowed vaccine contraindications so that almost no medical history or health condition qualifies as a reason for a medical exemption .
If you or your child have had previous vaccine reactions , are vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 denying physicians the right to exercise professional judgment and give children a medical exemption to vaccination are threatening human rights .
No wonder less than 1 % of vaccine reactions are ever reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and doctors feel free to discriminate against and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not vaccinated according to CDC schedules .
Laws that eliminate medical , religious and conscience exemptions to vaccination and ban citizens from getting a school education — even a college education — violate civil and human rights and so do vaccine mandates by employers who fire or refuse to hire workers based on their vaccination status .
The two professions being targeted first for workplace vaccine mandates are health care and child care workers , but they certainly will not be the last .
2.State laws that turn unelected members of the CDC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 , with several hundred more being developed in a global vaccine market estimated to balloon to nearly $ 100 billion by 2026 .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forced to use every one of them .
3.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 .
Giving doctors the legal authority to , in effect , go behind parents ’ backs and persuade a minor child to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents to consent to medical interventions performed on their children .
It also puts vaccine vulnerable children at greater risk for suffering reactions .
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 .
4.State laws requiring schools to publicly post vaccine coverage rates for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
It is an illusion that some schools are safer based on vaccination rates .
For example , even schools with 100 % vaccination rates and zero exemptions have had outbreaks of pertussis and schools with very high vaccination rates have had outbreaks of measles and mumps .
That is because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with and transmit infectious diseases but sometimes show few or no symptoms and are never diagnosed or reported .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
Not only have there been past security breaches with electronic databases dumping personally identifying information into the public domain , but there is legitimate concern that the government should not be conducting electronic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .

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. 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.

However, there is no question about what will happen if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) 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.

Nationwide Electronic Health Records and Vaccine Tracking
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, 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.
A new Health Information Exchange 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.
What Happened to the Duty to Prevent Adverse Reactions?
Ironically, when Congress directed the Department of Health and Human Services to create the National Vaccine Program in the 1986 Act, federal health officials were told to put together a plan to “achieve optimal prevention of human infectious diseases through immunization and to achieve optimal prevention against adverse reactions to vaccines.”

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.
Government’s Vaccine Marketing Plan for Big Pharma
Instead, government agencies have brazenly forged lucrative public private business partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment to:
Develop many new vaccines
Increase public demand for vaccines
Raise vaccination rates among children to nearly 100%
Create and expand electronic vaccine tracking registries
Promote global vaccination programs, even though the primary purpose of the 1986 Act was to reduce vaccine reactions and protect the U.S. childhood vaccine supply, 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 “The 2010 National Vaccine Plan provides a vision for the U.S. vaccine and immunization enterprise for the next decade.”
That’s because they know the National Vaccine Plan is really a Vaccine Marketing Plan for the pharmaceutical industry.
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, 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 “unavoidably unsafe” for the purpose of removing almost all remaining liability from drug companies when vaccines hurt people.
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) and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) — 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 and in New York in 2019, with military precision pursuit of the plan was kicked into even high gear. 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.
In 2019, the people managed to hold on to exemptions in Oregon, Arizona and New Jersey but this year, bills to force vaccine use are already threatening parental, civil and human rights in Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida, Washington, Pennsylvania and more.
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:
1.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% for core vaccines like polio, pertussis, measles and chickenpox, yet, government health officials are not satisfied. They have narrowed vaccine contraindications so that almost no medical history or health condition qualifies as a reason for a medical exemption.
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 denying physicians the right to exercise professional judgment and give children a medical exemption to vaccination are threatening human rights.
No wonder less than 1% of vaccine reactions are ever reported to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System and doctors feel free to discriminate against and deny medical care to anyone who is not vaccinated according to CDC schedules.
Laws that eliminate medical, religious and conscience exemptions to vaccination and ban citizens from getting a school education — even a college education — violate civil and human rights and so do vaccine mandates by employers who fire or refuse to hire workers based on their vaccination status.
The two professions being targeted first for workplace vaccine mandates are health care and child care workers, but they certainly will not be the last.
2.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.
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.
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.
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, with several hundred more being developed in a global vaccine market estimated to balloon to nearly $100 billion by 2026.
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.
3.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.
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. It also puts vaccine vulnerable children at greater risk for suffering reactions.
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.
4.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.
It is an illusion that some schools are safer based on vaccination rates. For example, even schools with 100% vaccination rates and zero exemptions have had outbreaks of pertussis and schools with very high vaccination rates have had outbreaks of measles and mumps.
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. 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.
5.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.
Not only have there been past security breaches with electronic databases dumping personally identifying information into the public domain, 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.

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.
One of the Most Powerful Videos I’ve Ever Seen
The following video from Barbara Loe Fisher is one of the most powerful videos that I have ever seen. I am hopeful that watching this video will inspire you to take up the cause and join the fight for vaccine freedom and independence.
There is a cultural war and collusion between many industries and federal regulatory agencies that results in a suppression of the truth about vital important health issues. If this suppression continues we will gradually and progressively erode our private individual rights that our ancestors fought so hard to achieve. Please take a few minutes to watch this video.

Protect Your Right to Informed Consent and Defend Vaccine Exemptions
With all the uncertainty surrounding the safety and efficacy of vaccines, it’s critical to protect your right to make independent health choices and exercise voluntary informed consent to vaccination. It is urgent that everyone in America stand up and fight to protect and expand vaccine informed consent protections in state public health and employment laws. The best way to do this is to get personally involved with your state legislators and educate the leaders in your community.
Think Globally, Act Locally
National vaccine policy recommendations are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level. It is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
It is critical for EVERYONE to get involved now in standing up for the legal right to make voluntary vaccine choices in America because those choices are being threatened by lobbyists representing drug companies, medical trade associations and public health officials, who are trying to persuade legislators to strip all vaccine exemptions from public health laws.

Share Your Story With the Media and People You Know
If you or a family member has suffered a serious vaccine reaction, injury or death, please talk about it. If we don’t share information and experiences with one another, everybody feels alone and afraid to speak up. Write a letter to the editor if you have a different perspective on a vaccine story that appears in your local newspaper. Make a call in to a radio talk show that is presenting only one side of the vaccine story.
I must be frank with you: You have to be brave because you might be strongly criticized for daring to talk about the “other side” of the vaccine story. Be prepared for it and have the courage to not back down. Only by sharing our perspective and what we know to be true about vaccination will the public conversation about vaccination open up so people are not afraid to talk about it.
We cannot allow the drug companies and medical trade associations funded by drug companies or public health officials promoting forced use of a growing list of vaccines to dominate the conversation about vaccination.
The vaccine injured cannot be swept under the carpet and treated like nothing more than “statistically acceptable collateral damage” of national one-size-fits-all mandatory vaccination policies that put way too many people at risk for injury and death. We shouldn’t be treating people like guinea pigs instead of human beings.

Connect With Your Doctor or Find a New One Who Will Listen and Care
If your pediatrician or doctor refuses to provide medical care to you or your child unless you agree to get vaccines you don’t want, I strongly encourage you to have the courage to find another doctor.
Harassment, intimidation and refusal of medical care are becoming the modus operandi of the medical establishment in an effort to stop the change in attitude of many parents about vaccinations after they become truly educated about health and vaccination. However, there is hope.
At least 15% of young doctors recently polled admit that they’re starting to adopt a more individualized approach to vaccinations in direct response to the vaccine safety concerns of parents.
It is good news that there is a growing number of smart young doctors who prefer to work as partners with parents in making personalized vaccine decisions for children, including delaying vaccinations or giving children fewer vaccines on the same day, or continuing to provide medical care for those families who decline use of one or more vaccines.
So, take the time to locate a doctor who treats you with compassion and respect, and who is willing to work with you to do what is right for your child.
