Vaccination Choice is a Human Right
Mary Holland, JD
"Since Jacobson v. Massachusetts in 1905, the world has embraced human rights in many forms—women’s suffrage, the Nuremberg Code, free and informed consent, medical autonomy, the human rights revolution, and public heath revolutions in sanitation, hygiene, and antibiotics. A thorough reconsideration of compulsory vaccination mandates is long overdue, based on the language of the Jacobson decision, which calls on courts to end vaccination mandates that are oppressive and unreasonable."
A Human Rights Assessment
Louise Kuo Habakus, MA
"The U.S. government's mandatory vaccination policies do not appear to comply with international human rights standards. The government has limited the exercise and enjoyment of specific rights—including children’s right to obtain a free, public education—based on vaccination status."
Due Process and the American Constitution
James Turner, JD
"A country that requires all children to receive a product—no matter how beneficial—knowing that some children will die and others’ lives will be destroyed by the use of that product, risks losing all moral authority."
An Urgent Call for More Research
Carol Stott, PhD, MSc and Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath
"Science lies at the heart of the vaccine controversy, and there can be no substitute for it. The ethical practice of medicine requires full and informed consent. It is not possible to have the informed part of informed consent without the science. That vaccine safety science has been and remains inadequate is not in dispute."
Three Short Years
Gay Tate, PhD, LSW, MLSP
"The biggest difference in environmental exposures that happened during those three short years was the increase in their vaccines . . ."
Sick is the New Healthy
Judy Converse, MPH, RD, LD
"What if it were true that the way we now vaccinate our children causes more death, chronic disease, and disability than it prevents in America?"
My Daughter is "One Less"
Amy Pingel
"I deeply regret my decision to allow Zeda to get this shot. She has lost all quality of life. I would do anything to get her better, but no one has any answers for me. The doctors still don’t believe it was the vaccine."
Who Will Defend the Defenders?
Richard Rovet, RN, BSN, B-C (USAF, ret)
"Unfortunately, these brave defenders of our freedom are defenseless against the mandatory use of dangerous vaccines, such as the anthrax vaccine."
Mercury Toxicity and Vaccine Injury
Boyd Haley, PhD
"I, and other involved researchers, would gladly debate these issues in public with CDC and other experts—if they had the courage to show up. They don’t."
A Doctor's View of Vaccines and the Public Health
Sherri Tenpenny, DO
"We have exchanged temporary illnesses for pervasive lifelong diseases, disorders, dysfunctions, and disabilities. A chronic illness held in check by medication is not health. The well-being of children and a community must be gauged by more than high vaccination rates and low infection rates caused by a specific, short list of pathogens."
The International Human Rights Standard
Sookyung Song
"International human rights norms to bodily integrity and free and informed consent today protect the individual right to make informed choices about vaccination and all medical interventions."
The Right to Legal Redress
Mary Holland, JD and Robert Krakow, JD
"In principle, there was Congressional and public consensus that caring for vaccine-injured children was the right thing to do. The reality has not lived up to the principle."
God, Government, and Parental Rights
Wiliam Wagner, JD
"The sacred and legal underpinnings of the unalienable right of American parents to direct the upbringing of their children are embedded in deeply rooted divine, natural, and common law traditions."
A Long American Tradition
Robert Johnston, PhD
"And that tradition shows that dissidents are often the wise ones, using their activism to force our scientific and political leaders to recognize their blind spots, as well as their need for humility when it comes to doing the will of the people."
Medical Ethics and Contemporary U.S. Medicine
Vera Hassner Sharav, MLS
"A public policy that puts the well-being of a child at risk—for the good of others, or, more likely, for commercial reasons—violates fundamental moral principles and devalues the child as a human being."
"The Greater Good"
Allen Tate
"Since the childhood vaccine schedule has not been tested as administered, we cannot know its benefits, and therefore if its utilitarian burden can be fulfilled. As it currently stands, utilitarianism cannot justify compulsory vaccination."
A Mother-Son Story
Sonja Hintz, RN and Alexander Hintz
"Even as a nurse, my training did not educate me to question the safety of vaccinations, so I didn’t feel I had enough information on the risk factors for my son."
"Get Your Affairs in Order"
Lisa Marks Smith
"A nurse told me to call my family. It is very difficult to tell your children good-bye forever. It was the most heartbreaking moment of my life."
The Vaccine Bubble and the Pharmaceutical Industry
Michael Belkin
"We filed a request for two pieces of information. We wanted all the safety data the CDC had in its possession prior to recommending the hepatitis B vaccine for new babies at birth. Moreover, we wanted the statistical model they used to prove safety and justify this policy decision. To my surprise, the CDC refused to respond to our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. We made our request more than 10 years ago and we are still waiting for this information today."
The Role of Government and Media
Ginger Taylor, MS
"Dr. Julie Gerberding, Director of the CDC, had just explained an association between vaccines and autism on national news. She then said there is no association between vaccines and autism. And [the media] did not challenge her on her conflicting statements. Instead, [it] helped to reinforce the government’s position that there is no link between vaccines and autism."
Genetic Information: Where Do We Go From Here?
Twila Brase, RN
"Parents must consider the potential for 21st century medicine to compel genetic manipulation. This could happen as a result of compulsory state government newborn genetic screening programs. For purposes of reducing costs in health care, will children be required to receive gene-based vaccinations to prevent the emergence of future medical conditions identified by the screening?"
A Holistic Health Perspective
Annemarie Colbin, PhD
"Good health is not always due to good luck: a great deal of the time, it is the result of our choices."
What Should Parents Do?
Louise Kuo Habakus, MA
"We have gathered and summarized the views of nine board-certified pediatricians and other licensed professionals authorized to give medical advice. These views concur with and differ from the government’s recommendations. Many of these professionals support vaccination choice and raise important questions and concerns about CDC-recommended vaccination protocols."
The Suppression of Science
Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath
"When considering how to vaccinate your children, read, get educated, and demand fully informed consent and answers to your questions. When you are stonewalled or these answers are not to your satisfaction, trust your instinct. I say this as someone who has studied and engaged in the science and who has become aware of the limitations of our knowledge and understanding of vaccine safety issues. Maternal instinct, in contrast, has been a steady hand upon the tiller of evolution; we would not be here without it."
Who is Dr. Andrew Wakefield?
Mary Holland, JD
"The Center for Personal Rights is confident that the world will look back at the prosecution of Drs. Wakefield, Walker-Smith, and Murch with shame and remorse. Dr. Wakefield has joined in a long, honorable tradition of dissidents in science and human rights."
Forced Child Removal
Kim Mack Rosenberg, JD
"You have a religious exemption from vaccination for your child at school. You get a call from Child Protective Services. The caseworker says she wants to meet with you to discuss whether your child is the subject of “medical neglect.” Do you know your rights?"

Vaccine Epidemic Addresses Vaccine-Autism Link
Investigators and families of vaccine-injured children publish a report and press release clearly linking vaccine injury and autism. The federal government has publicly denied a vaccine-autism link for over 20 years, all the while compensating large numbers of children for vaccine injury who have autism. VE explains how and why, and offers proposals for constructive change.
