Reminder: Conscientious Objection permitted in New South Wales until the end of this year

By

As most of you will already know, the New South Wales parliament recently passed legislation abolishing the right to conscientiously object to vaccination for the purpose of enrolment in early education services in that state.  The law takes effect on 01 January 2018.

However, as the law applies only to those enrolments on or after that date, and not existing enrolments, unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children may still be enrolled up until 31 December 2017, even if the placement does not commence until 2018.

So, if you were considering enrolling your child in an early education service next year, please ensure the enrolment is finalised before the end of this year…. [Read More]

No Jab No Play NSW: Attacking the right to work and learn makes no economic sense

By

Poverty, Family poverty

Some parents have reported that because of No Jab No Pay/No Play, they can no longer afford accommodation and are now living in their cars.

It is almost impossible to believe that the New South Wales (NSW) LNP government has enacted a No Jab No Play law prohibiting unvaccinated children from being enrolled in early child care and education services, in the absence of any evidence showing that unvaccinated children pose a risk to other children, or the public health more generally, and contrary to the recommendation of an expert committee.

The Report on the Statutory Review of the NSW Public Health Act 2010 was tabled in parliament during November 2016 and included a number of recommendations relevant to the issue of so-called vaccine-preventable disease and vaccination.

Recommendation 31: The Public Health Act should not be amended to remove the conscientious objector exemption to enrolment in a childcare facility. (page 49)

VACCINES ARE UNAVOIDABLY UNSAFE – by Dr John Piesse

By

As you probably are aware, Melbourne GP, Dr John Piesse, is facing prosecution and deregistration for the ‘crime’ of supporting parental vaccination choice and writing medical exemption forms for families whose children are at risk of serious reactions or death from vaccines. 

Below is an article Dr Piesse has submitted to the Melbourne Age. It is reprinted with his permission.

If you would like to help Dr Piesse continue to assist families whose children are at risk from vaccination, please consider donating to his GoFundMe Account by clicking here. It would also be appreciated if you can share this page with as many people as possible by email and social media. Use the hashtag #istandwithdrpiesse.

The writer has become embroiled in the controversy about whether or not it is wise to vaccinate…. [Read More]

CEO of Chiropractors Association of Australia bows to anti choice brigade

By

Just yesterday, I found out from a Facebook message a dear friend sent me that Professor Matthew Fisher, CEO of the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (who isn’t even a chiropractor) king-hit the AVN to get brownie points with the very people who want to turn chiropractic into physiotherapy.

Here is what he had to say…

So, let me get this straight. Matthew Fisher said that the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia does not support views promoted by the AVN. Which views might these be Professor Fisher? Could it be:… [Read More]

Dr Matthias Rath – A speech to hear and share!

Dr. Rath’s Call to the people of Germany and Europe, Berlin 13-3-2012

We are living in a time of change.
The status quo fights against this change.
If you have any questions, go to https://www.wiki-rath.org/

At a Cancer Free World conference in Berlin, Germany, on 13th March 2012, Dr. Rath called on the people of Germany and Europe to take responsibility for building a democratic Europe for the People and by the People.

Describing how widely available scientific research on natural remedies already makes it clear that the incidence of common diseases can now be reduced to a fraction of their current occurrence, he explained how the building of a new global health care system, based on the prevention and elimination of diseases, is now possible…. [Read More]

The American Medical Association Will Soon Be Able To Force People To Enter Experimental Vaccine Trials | Vactruth.com

By

The American Medical Association published an article on the ‘ethics’ of requiring everyone to participate in vaccine trials and unless they sign an opt-out form, they would be considered to have given their tacit consent to being a guinea pig and allowing their children to also be guinea pigs.

What is society coming to when anyone in their right mind can think this is a good and ethical idea?… [Read More]

Vaccination and Health – Your Right to Choose Seminars Western NSW-August 2012

By

Please note: though pre-booking is recommended, please feel free to turn up on the night and register at the door.

Today, more then ever, the government and the medical community are trying to restrict your right to make informed health choices for yourself and your family.

There is a great deal of confusion about the following issues:

– Do you have the right to send your child to school, preschool, playgroup and childcare if they are not vaccinated?
– Does the government have the right to withhold any of your financial entitlements if you choose not to vaccinate your child?
– Do doctors, nurses and other health staff working in hospital settings have a right to say no to vaccination?
– Why is Australia currently experiencing the biggest and longest-lived whooping cough epidemic in its history despite our highest-ever rate of childhood vaccination?
– Why is one child in 20 now estimated to be autistic when 30 years ago, that figure was one in 20,000? Has vaccination played a role in this and other epidemics of chronic diseases (asthma, eczema, food allergies, diabetes, childhood cancer, etc.)

These will be evenings to set the record straight about not only your health rights but also about the latest research on this medical procedure from around the world…. [Read More]

Do doctors have to sign Conscientious Objector forms?

By

New information has just come to light on this question, which I wanted to share with you because it is very important and will have implications for all parents who are filing as a conscientious objector to vaccination. It is also quite different from my previous understanding of this issue.

From the very beginning of the policy that required parents who were not vaccinating to see an immunisation provider in order to get their conscientious objector form signed (in order to get the Maternity Immunisation Allowance and the Childcare Benefit), the AVN has had a steady stream of parents approach them because GPs were refusing to sign the form.

We were told by the AMA that there was no requirement for doctors to actually sign this form – leading to parents seeing up to 20 or more doctors before finding one who would agree to sign. One wonders if the AMA were lying or simply ignorant. Either way, it is not a great recommendation for their integrity…. [Read More]

Healthy Unvaccinated – Nellie

By

Nellie is 3 and a half years old, and her adoption was final May 17, 2007.

She was born meth addicted with many health problems and had developmental delays as an infant.

She was given Hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and one polio and one measles shot. She contracted measles from the shot.

Since her adoption she has been vaccine free, raised on organic vegan diet, wore cloth nappies, co-sleeps with mom and will be home schooled. She is now rarely ill.
