Help Stop a Dangerous Bill in the New York Legislature!

The New York state legislature is considering a pair of bills, S. 4244C and A. 6564C, that would allow children as young as 14 to consent to vaccinations without any notification to their parents.

Children often don’t know their family’s medical history, or even their own early childhood medical history – both of which are important for assessing the risks vaccination poses. And if a child has a serious adverse reaction, their treatment may be compromised if the parents don’t know that their child was vaccinated.

Medical practitioners, schools, and others should not be allowed to pressure impressionable children into a medical procedure that is capable of causing injury or death behind their parent’s backs.

We cannot let them endanger our children. Please help us by contacting your New York state legislators today!

Talking points, which explain more about the problems with S. 4244C and A. 6564C, are below the Take Action section.

Sample script:

“Hi, my name is ____ and I am a constituent. I am calling to ask Senator (or Assembly Member) ____ to OPPOSE S. 4244C /A. 6564C, which would allow minors to consent to vaccination without parental consent.

As declared by the U.S. Supreme Court, vaccines are pharmaceutical products that carry risk of injury or death. It is irresponsible to allow children to make medical decisions that may injure or kill them without the knowledge of their parents.

The U.S. Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has awarded over 4 billion dollars to vaccine victims. And the true numbers of injuries are undoubtedly much higher, since it is estimated that two out of three plaintiffs are turned away and the FDA says less than 1 percent of all vaccine injuries are ever reported in the first place.

Minor children may not be aware of family medical histories, and even their own young childhood history of vaccine reactions, which would be important to deciding if a particular vaccine’s risks outweigh the benefits.

I urge Senator (or Assembly Member) _____ to oppose S. 4244C /A. 6564C.”

Talking Points:

Share a personal story, if you have relevant experience. Do you have a vaccine-injured child, and you weren’t told about the risks before vaccinating or were pressured into vaccinating despite your concerns about the risks? Do you have family members with medical conditions that would be relevant to assessing the risks, and your child doesn’t know the details?

Vaccine makers and the healthcare providers who administer them bear zero liability for vaccine injuries and deaths. The vaccine manufactures reap all the profits from vaccines, without having to pay for any of the injuries or harm.

Vaccines are pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury or death. Minor children may not be aware of family and their own personal history of vaccine reactions or personal contraindications to relay to the vaccine administrator.

The U.S. Supreme Court recognizes vaccines to be “unavoidably unsafe” and to cause injury and death in some recipients. The US Government has paid out more that $4 billion to the victims of vaccine injury. Hundreds of thousands have reported an adverse reaction to vaccination to VAERS. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/ensuringsafety/monitoring/vaers/

By consenting to a vaccine, a child is also consenting a shortened statute of limitations for any claim of injury under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program – presumably with little or no understanding of what that means. It is also much less likely vaccine reactions will be recognized and connected to the vaccine by a child on their own and filed with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.
