Indeed the public is being forced to take vaccines and drugs. My last article gave testimonies from various physicians who bring to light that there is coercion on the part of the government for parents to vaccinate their children.

Perhaps the most shocking incident that comes to mind of government stepping over its bounds with the vaccination issue is the case in Maryland last year. In Prince George's County, MD, more than 1,000 parents were threatened by the State of Maryland with jail time if they did not allow their children to be vaccinated. With armed guards and dogs looking on, the state of Maryland forced the children to be vaccinated at the Prince George's County courthouse!

Just as a Texas Appeals court ruled days ago that it was wrong for Texas Child Protective Services to remove 400 kids from their home on a polygamist ranch, it is just as wrong and unconstitutional to force children to be vaccinated and for the government to threaten their parents. Yet that story received scant attention and coverage in the media.

The Chicken Pox vaccine (with dangerous side effects like seizures and pneumonia) was one of the vaccines the children were given. To get the chicken pox virus is just rather annoying, but not life threatening, and it doesn't warrant the state stepping all over parents' rights.

Kathryn Serkes of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons emphasized, "This power play obliterates informed consent and parental rights." AAPS slammed the forced vaccinations in Maryland and is an upstanding group in that it shuns pharmaceutical companies' corporate funding (please read more on this story below this article).

AAPS warned that money was the motive of such drastic action in Maryland. The association has made the effort to contact parents to let them know they have options. Indeed, physicians are not all in agreement that vaccines are necessary. Some see the outrageous methods being used to force parents to comply with vaccinations on their child.

I am thankful for such physicians and medical personnel who understand that it is the parents' right to care for their children first, and not the state or federal government.

Government is no one's nanny. When we give the government too much control, as in the examples above, we then see the ramifications of our actions.

To counter the rising number of parents who are opting out of vaccinating their children, the media is doing its job to get the word out about the so called danger of not vaccinating against disease. They continue to report that more and more parents are claiming exemptions to get their child out of being vaccinated and then include in their report, someone in the medical field who says it's a bad idea. I saw such a report today on local news. This makes the second time (one local, one national) I've seen the media raise an unnecessary alarm over the need to vaccinate.

As Americans, we need to see that the media has become the government's mouthpiece.

In regards to parents claiming exemptions...HELLO! It's their choice! That is one thing that Americans should celebrate, is the freedom of choice in this country...the choice to take control of one's health and the health of their loved ones. Parents know what's best for their children.

The way to safeguard the future of this nation is to first start with our children...to make sure that our children's health is vigorously defended. Too many have suffered from needless reactions from vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs. It's good to hear that more and more parents are opting out. But as long as some parents fail to see that there is a financial motive towards the vaccines/drugs that are coming out on the market left and right, we will watch our freedoms slip further.

Drugs and vaccines are not a guaranteed barrier between you and a disease. But I believe we do need to put up a barrier between our health and those who choose to wreck it by mass marketing of drugs and vaccines.

Seek natural remedies for you and your child. Be mindful of one's food intake and diet as well.
If convicted to do something counter to what is being said in the media or what the government wishes, follow your heart.

In closing, I hope my series of articles on vaccinations has caused you to make better decisions when it comes to vaccinating your children and taking pharmaceutical drugs. With such a delicate issue: whether or not to vaccinate, it is wise to search all of the options and information available. One can opt out of vaccinating their child.

Strive to keep America free...and it starts with keeping one's health in check by watching what goes into our body.
