Addressed to School Nurse:

Dear Nurse Goodheart,

As the parent and guardian of Jimmy Novacs, I am writing to inform you that we are exercising our legal right not to vaccinate.

According to 26: 1A-9.1 of the New Jersey Public Health Law children are exempt from vaccinations for school entry "whose parent, parents or guardian hold genuine and sincere religious beliefs which are contrary to the practices herein required, and no certificate shall be required as a prerequisite to such children being admitted or received into school or attending school." Subd. 9. L.1989, c.538 & 3 eff. Jan.1, 1990 , substituted requirement of genuine and sincere contrary religious beliefs for requirement of bona fide membership in a recognized religious organization opposing immunization to qualify for exemption. Therefore, it is discriminatory to ask what religion one belongs to in order to qualify for an exemption from vaccinations; everyone is entitled.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act of 1986 , gave no liability to vaccine manufacturers or doctors for vaccine injury or death: "No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after the effective date of this part (1986) solely due to the manufacturer's failure to provide direct warnings to the injured party (or the injured party's legal representative) of the potential dangers resulting from the administration of the vaccine manufactured by the manufacturer." [Public Health Service Act, Section 2122, Direct Warnings]. According to Barbara Loe Fisher of NVIC, the Compensation Plan is so arbitrary that only one in four gets compensated. Consequently, parents have no real legal remedy should their child become injured and/or die from vaccination.

The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act also provided for a Vaccination Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) to collect data on vaccine injuries and deaths. From January 1992 to November 2001: 5,032 deaths from vaccines were reported to VAERS. It is estimated that between only 1% and 10% of doctors report vaccine injury or death. Therefore the actual number of deaths could be closer to 50,000. [See A Sample of New Jersey Deaths reported to VAERS]

The Physician's Desk Reference lists many ways to die from vaccination including: SIDS, anaphylactic shock, thrombocytopenia, (hemorrhaging to death), encephalitis (brain inflammation) and 'death.' Other side effects include but are not limited to seizures, infantile spasms, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Bell's Palsy, aseptic meningitis, transverse myelitis, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, arthralgia, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (flesh eating disease) erythema multiforme, diabetes mellitus, urticaria, systemic lupus erthematosus (SLE), elevation of liver enzymes, optic neuritis, nerve deafness, keratitis, otitis media, renal failure, early onset Hib disease, lymphadenopathy, reflux esophagitis, vitreous hemorrhage, atypical measles, parotitis (mumps), impetigo, cellulitis, herpes zoster, asthma, vesiculation, ulceration, necrosis. Although autism is not listed as a side effect of vaccines, encephalitis has the identical symptoms as autism and encephalitis is listed as an adverse reaction to every single childhood vaccine. [Vaccination, Social Violence and Criminality: The Medical Assault on the American Brain , 1990, Harris Coulter, Ph.D.]

The PDR lists the following vaccine ingredients all of which are highly toxic and /or allergenic: Diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, acellular pertussis endotoxin, Hepatitis B virus gene in yeast protein, Haemophilus influenza antigen, neisseria meningitides, measles virus in chick embryo culture, mumps virus in chick embryo culture, rubella virus from human diploid lung cells (aborted human fetuses), varicella virus also from aborted fetuses, streptococcus pneumoniae in soy peptone broth with yeast, hepatitis A virus from aborted human fetuses, Japanese encephalitis virus from ground up mouse brains, mycobacterium tuberculosis, polio virus from monkey kidney cells, embryonic guinea pig cell cultures, beef heart infusion, fetal bovine serum, human albumin, ammonium sulfate, sorbitol, sucrose, aluminum, formaldehyde, thimerosal (mercury derivative), glutamate, phenol, phenoxyethanol, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), glutaraldhyde, dry natural latex rubber (highly allergenic) Neomycin (animal antibiotic).

The quantities of toxins in these vaccines are not minute. In the case of mercury, the DPT, Hib, Hep B and OPV often given in one office visit contain 62.5 micrograms of mercury. The EPA guidelines for "safe" mercury levels are .1 microgram per kilogram of bodyweight per day. Babies can receive 30 to 50 times the "safe" amount in one office visit. [Halsey NA, Limiting infant exposure to thimerosal in vaccines and other sources of mercury. JAMA, 1999, 282:1763-66] We go to great lengths to keep this 'filth' out our drinking water, but when we inject it directly into the bloodstream of an infant whose brain and immune system are not yet developed we believe that it somehow produces health!

Most shocking of all, however, is the revelation in the PDR that no long term testing has ever been done on any vaccine for anything including cancer, mutagenic potential, fertility impairment, developmental malformations, effects on pregnant women or fetuses! No double blind studies have ever been done on vaccines in which the control group was completely unvaccinated. Without being able to compare these two groups it is impossible to prove that vaccinations actually prevent disease; it is only conjecture. Short term testing is done with very small samples, for a very short time and with an age group other than the one to receive the vaccine: "147 healthy infants and children (up to 10 years of age) were monitored for 5 days after each dose." [Hep B, Recombivax HB, Merck, 2001] The standards for vaccine acceptance are much lower than for drugs that are manufactured for adults.

The PDR gives efficacy disclaimers for almost all vaccines and in some cases there is even a breakthrough rate or provocation rate for the vaccines including the Hib, MMR and Chickenpox. The PDR states that you can catch the disease itself from the vaccine or you can catch it from someone who has been vaccinated. [OPV, (oral polio) was famous for this and lawsuits were won against the government in the 1975, Griffen vs. US and in 1988, Berkovitz vs. US.]

According to State Epidemiologist, Dr. Eddy Bresnitz, MD for years the CDC has been providing incentive money of up to $100 for every child fully vaccinated by the age of two in the state of NJ. The CDC awarded the NJ Health Department $924,450 and $1,202,869 in 1999 and 2000 respectively. While Dr. Bresnitz says the plan has been discontinued, there could be something new. [Letter 12/20/00]

The Nuremberg Code [Doctors Trial, 1947] states that no person (or infant) is to be used in a medical experiment without his consent [Article 1]. Further, if there is any possibility that the subject could die from the experiment, only doctors themselves are to participate in the medical experiment [Article 5]. The PDR leaves no doubt that these vaccines are deadly, not effective, that you can get the disease from the vaccine, you can become severely crippled from the vaccine, and that vaccines are experimental in nature.

Consequently, it seems to me that any intelligent doctor who is faced with the choice of signing a paper guaranteeing that he will pay for any damage or death of any infant he vaccinates and granting a medical exemption would wisely choose to give the medical exemption.

Technically, everyone is entitled to a medical exemption because no doctor or pharmaceutical company wants to assume the risk of serious vaccine injury or death. As an informed parent, I do not want to assume that risk either. To avoid the possible confrontation and the certain fee required to obtain a medical exemption from a doctor, I choose a religious exemption.

Religious exemptions, it would seem, follow Biblical and other religious dietary proscriptions against putting anything unclean into the body. [Leviticus; Chapter 11 verses 1-47]

Additionally, Hindus and some Buddhists refrain from eating meat. They believe in not killing anything with a face, but also the slaughtered animal will carry the energies of fear, pain, anxiety etc. and for meditation purposes it is counter productive to take those negative energies into the body. Animals are tortured in the process of making vaccines so it would be extremely undesirable to be vaccinated. Gandhi subscribed to these beliefs and was one of many famous anti-vaccinationists:

"I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. I detest the unpardonable slaughter of innocent life in the name of science and humanity so called, and all of the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood, I count as of no consequence." --Gandhi Y1, Dec. 17,1925

Vaccinations, not proven to prevent disease, result in death and mental and physical injury. According to Registered Dog Breeder, Ashleigh Oulton in Australia, animal populations become sterile after many generations of being vaccinated. This is arguably genocide depending upon the intent behind the policy.

In Exodus [Chapter 1 verses 16-21] we read: "And he said, when ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses."

Sometimes man's law is in conflict with God's law. Slavery and subsequently segregation were two obvious examples in American history. It does not seem possible to me that God "goofed" when He created the human immune system. The immune system does not need to be 'improved' with untested and unproven vaccinations that kill, maim and cause sterility . Mandatory vaccination laws are also in conflict with God's Law. When man's law conflicts with God's law, it is God's Law which must be followed until man's law can be brought into harmony with God's Law.

Respectfully,

Mr. & Mrs. Novacs
