Forced Vaccination

By Michael Manley

Are you aware that 30 percent of doctors in the U.S. do not vaccinate their children and that number is as high as 60 percent in other countries around the world? Are you aware that some countries do not even allow children to be vaccinated until they are at least two years old because of their immature immune systems? Are you aware that most vaccinations contain thimerosal, which is so dangerous that if the same amount of thimerosal the average child receives before age two (directly into his bloodstream) were to be dropped into twenty-three gallons of water that it would be considered unsafe for human consumption according to the EPA? And are you aware that the Hepatitis B vaccine causes genetic changes? Were you ever told that some vaccines contain tissue from aborted fetuses?

Let me ask you a very personal question. Do you have the right to raise your own child, or should a doctor, judge or social services decide what is best for him? What is the true story about vaccinations? That is something you will have to conclude for yourself. Now let me tell you my story.

I thought I was living in a free country until the evening of April 3, 2003 when my child was given a harmful vaccination against the wishes of my wife and me in the city of Grand Junction, Colorado. Inaccurate screening test results on my wife led the neonatologist to believe that my wife had hepatitis B. As he believed there was a high risk of transmission to our child during birth, he urged us to allow him to inoculate our newborn with the hepatitis B vaccine. Knowing the dangers vaccinations pose, especially to newborns with immature immune systems, we repeatedly refused to authorize the doctor to administer the vaccine. We stood firm on the grounds that we could not in good conscience abdicate our God given role to protect our child from medical treatment known to be harmful and dangerous. After threats by hospital social worker Joni Vohs that we could lose custody of our child if we did not comply, we found ourselves in an after-hours mock hearing at St. Mary’s Hospital, denied the right to procure any sort of competent defense.

Just the day before, my wife had given birth to our first child. We were allowed fifteen minutes notice of the hearing about to take place at the hospital. The judge and lawyers were already present at the hospital before we were notified. District Court Judge Charles Buss repeatedly denied our plea to postpone the hearing until the next day to allow us time to present specific evidence to support our position. The neonatal physician, Dr. Noel Carrasco, was declared an expert witness and led the judge to believe that little or no risks were posed to our baby by administering the vaccine. Further, the judge was persuaded that waiting for a second confirmatory test on my wife (to arrive the next day) could reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine enough to warrant giving it immediately without waiting for further testing or even a proper medical diagnosis. Meanwhile the President/CEO of St. Mary’s Hospital, Robert Ladenburger, stood by and watched as all these events were transpiring. He did nothing to stop them. My request to him for an opportunity to meet with him to appeal the decisions and actions being implemented was unmet, due to the “emergency” nature of the hearing.

In spite of our short notice of the hearing, we were able to obtain specific information about the inaccuracy and unreliability of the screening tests. This evidence was presented to the judge but disregarded in light of the doctor’s “expert opinion”. By court order, our daughter was given the shot. Charges of Dependency and Neglect were ordered by the judge to be filed against us. We became prisoners in our own town as we were ordered not to leave the county without approval by the court.

When we finally received the court order a week later, it stated that the court found by “clear and convincing evidence” that my wife had hepatitis B, and thus the court had to intervene because of the risks posed to the child. I would like to know what this evidence was, since the only test that had been presented was a screening test that says on its face: “This test using the DPC 2000 HbsAg assay is for screening purposes only. All positive and indeterminate results will be confirmed by another method.” The more accurate test did arrive and proved that my wife did not have hepatitis B, as did the independent tests we had run at another hospital. There was never a proper diagnosis by a qualified physician!

If that was not enough, gross disrespect was shown to us from the moment we arrived at the hospital until after we left. Our rights as parents to make decisions regarding the care of our child were repeatedly denied as tests and treatments were given to both my wife and child without our authorization, many times against our clear instructions to the hospital staff.

This is not a story from some far off corner of the world. This happened right here in “the land of the free.” Our “limited” government believed they knew how to raise our child better than her God given parents. Her life was put in danger while the objections of her parents who had spent countless hours researching and seeking God to determine what is best for their child were completely disregarded.

In closing, please consider these questions:

1.Who defines what a life threatening situation is (the law leaves this term undefined)?

2. What is being done to comfort the families whose children have suffered from autism, learning disabilities, immunological disorders and even death resulting from these dangerous injections?

3. Are we as parents, complacently willing to entrust the health and safety of our children to the powers that be? Or will we do our homework, and research the facts that hard science presents, enabling us to make informed decisions?

4. Who will be next, and what will be inflicted on them?

5. What other freedoms will be taken away from the family in the near future?

Today we witness diverse attacks upon our children, including damaging vaccinations. A forced vaccination is an abominable assault on our precious child and a usurpation of God given parental rights and responsibilities. We as Christians should “render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21). Our “children are an heritage of the LORD” (Psalms 127:3).
