Exemptions

Each week I spend hours answering emails on how to avoid vaccinations for kids entering school, for kids going to day care & how to handle doctors that insist that a patient be vaccinated or they will no longer accept them into their practice.

Having been thru this myself twice over & doing much research, I've decided to put this info into a blog so that others will have the info at their fingertips.

This link will lead you to the right paperwork for your state. Many states have philosophical exemptions, religious or just medical exemptions. Medical exemptions can be over ruled by another doctor with a simple exam. Philosophical exemptions can be over ruled by our government at a drop of a hat. Religious exemptions are the way to go since Freedom of Religion is guaranteed by a document called the Constitution of the United States. You will need to fill out this paperwork in front of a Notary Public. They'll check your ID & then sign where they need to. Present this paperwork to your daycare center. They will need to keep a copy on their record even after your child has left their care so you will need another copy for when your child starts school.

Currently, New Jersey is trying to pass legislation that will outlaw religious exemptions. If you live in that state, please write your lawmakers & tell them to keep your Freedom of Religion in place. Below is a link to a slideshow that I did last fall in Illinois. About 1/3 of the way thru it talks about What Does the bible say about vaccines? Feel free to use that info to back up your claims about it being against your religion to get vaccines. You do NOT have to be part of a church that believes vaccines are wrong. You can have a personal religious belief that vaccines are against scripture.

This next link shows a map of the U.S. & which states allow what exemptions. The worst states to live in for this purpose are West Virginia & Mississippi. Mississippi doesn't allow for religious exemptions as they think its against the constitution to have a religious exemption. (I still don't understand that one)

I'm sure many of you are now wondering, what doctors in the U.S. will go along with not vaccinating or maybe an alternative schedule. They are out there! The link below shows which doctors are the ones to go with for this purpose. You could also seek care from a homeopath, naturalpath, chiropracter & an Osteopath. The whole purpose of well baby or well child visits is for vaccinations! You don't have to have a pediatrician for your child.

Raggedy Ann - the story behind her

I'm sure many of you are thinking why is she writing about a rag doll? A toy? Raggedy Ann has been around for over 95 years & is closely tied to the small pox vaccine & anti-vaccine movement.

Marcelle Gruelle in 1915 at the tender age of 13 was given the small pox vaccine at school without her parents consent. During this time period many who were given the small pox vaccine didn't survive the procedure. The wound that was created by the small pox vaccine would become infected. With sanitation being low at this point in our history, the victims of this barbaric procedure would die from infection.

Lets go back & look at the humble beginnings of this doll that is still popular today.

Marcella went up to her grandmothers attic one day when she was visiting. She found an old faceless rag doll. She took it down to her father & asked him if she could have it. He put 2 black eyes & the triangle nose on its face that we still see today.

When Mr. Gruelle's only child came down sick after getting the small pox vaccine, she was bedridden, he would entertain her with stories about Raggedy Ann. Shortly before Marcella died, her muscles became "limp" like a rag doll. After Marcella's death, Raggedy Ann became a symbol for the anti-vaccine movement.

After Marcella died, 7 doctors came & examined her. 6 said the cause of her death was the small pox vaccine. The 7th doctor was the head of the school board & a big supporter of vaccines. He was known to vaccinate children over & over again for the same diseases. This doctor wouldn't say if her death was caused by the vaccine or not.

By 1918, Mr. Gruelle published his first book about Raggedy Ann. In 1920, Raggedy Andy made his debut in the volumes. These 2 events put Mr. Gruelle on the track for a well known author & illustrator.

I still have my Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls from my childhood. Now that I know the story behind this classic doll, I'm glad I held onto them.

Until next week my friends, have a great week.
