Testimony heard over vaccination exemptions for children
»Play Video
SALEM, Ore. – Lawmakers listened to public testimony Tuesday on a change to the way people get vaccination exemptions for their children.
Senate Bill 132 would make a couple of changes: one, it would take out the word "religion" as a basis for opting out of getting shots. It will simply describe it as any personal belief system.
There was some testimony on the need to clarify that.
The bill will also require parents to get more education on the immunization process.
If parents want an exemption, they'll have to watch an online instructional video or provide signed documentation from their health-care provider to show they've gone over the reasons why the state requires kids to get shots.
Supporters of the bill say it'll help control epidemics like Washington's recent bout with whooping cough.
But some scientists can see why parents may be reluctant to get the vaccinations.
"It's really an interesting situation that we have because it's one of the few situations where vaccine manufacturers collaborate with the government in order to deliver a product to all children. And it's easy to see why parents come up with conspiracy theories," said Dr. Heather Zwickey, a professor of immunology at the National College of Natural Medicine.
There was some testimony about Oregon's vaccination rate. A Lane County health official stated that Oregon's kindergarten vaccination rate is the lowest in the country. And across the country, the lack of available health care has never been one of the top reasons people don't get vaccinations.
Committee members did mention there's likely to be some amendment to the bill before it gets a vote.
If it passes, it will go into effect March of next year.
I am shocked, and yet not shocked at all that journalist like KATU and our politicians have done hardly any research on this (yet another reason why I don't trust any information you or our government give). Have you even looked at the CDC's own information on their website? Can you tell me what a Human Diploid Cell is? Or did you know they also put carcinogens like formaldehyde and mercury in those vaccines? Or did you do your research to find on the CDC's website that they show it wasn't vaccines that solved epidemics of diseases if what cleanliness http://drsuzanne.net/dr-suzanne-humphries-vaccines-vaccination/ . Which only makes sense if uncleanly living conditions caused the disease, of coarse teaching families to live cleaner is what solved the disease outbreak. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
How vaccines have ended diseases in one easy graphic. With peer-reviewed sources instead of memes that lack any sources.

@MSimpsonSorry, can't do serious scientific graphs without showing the actual rates of decline of disease and the year the vaccine was introduced. and the graphs which show rate of decline of all infectious diseases, from 1900 thru 1976,all decline at the same rate. in fact, death rates from scurvy decline at the same rate as all of the diseases we vaccinate against as well as tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and cholera, all of which we did not vaccinate away and the others were at the current M and M rates prior to introducing the vaccines

1: Testing for safety and effectiveness of vaccines leaves a lot to be desired. 2: Vaccine makers are protected at the federal level from being sued over adverse vaccine reactions. 3. Doctors don't like it when you ask them to sign a paper taking 100% responsibility for any and all adverse vaccine reactions.
Perhaps the lawmakers would like to take 100% responsibility for all adverse reactions that occur with this forced, one size fits all vaccine bill. Â
I lost a grandson who's death was mis-relegated to SIDS; he was perfectly normal until well baby check, he got sick shortly after and within the month he was dead. I spoke with a nurse who's own grand-daughter was severely damaged by the shots given at well baby check. She told me that she attends the doctors visits with her daughter and grand-daughter at Doernbecher's and has spoken with dozens of parents from all walks of life who say the same thing; "My baby was perfectly fine and healthy until well baby check." Â
Neuro-toxins have no place in the human body, and aluminum and mercury are just two of many nasty ingredients that we are subjected to when getting vaccines. I personally have had many serious issues because of mercury and aluminum; (mostly due to silver amalgam fillings, and vaccines in the service) the road to recovery is slow and long. Â
It is my opinion that kids who are vaccinated should have their vitals checked before the jabs, and at regular intervals for thirty days following the jabs, and keep it independent from the vaccine makers. That is the only way any real research is going to get done.
So how about it lawmakers? Are you willing to step up and take full responsibility for vaccine damage?Â
Only criminals who know nothing about the real science would advocate to take vaccines. Today we know at least 80% of the pop.s are infected with spirochetal prion protein infections that can share what ever genes they need to survive with pretty much whatever they want. The people are even tolerizing Rabies, Anthrax and Dengue to be carriers of all the JUNK DNA they have infected us with. It is the cause of ALL SYNDROMES of Unknown Origin, Psych Disease and Cancers. The Worst Crimes Against Humanity have been committed by criminals who LIED that a vaccine ever protected you from anything!!!

The worlds leading virologist, discoverer of the HIV vaccine and many others tell us what really caused AIDS immune suppression. And it was criminals who LIED and said antibodies infections produced was EQUAL to protection. The real seronegative AIDS produces very little antibodies to anything and now being carried in the people to cause the projected rate of AUTISM alone to be 1 in 9 by 2022. They are the real Prion/AIDS/LYME lied about for over 35yrs. to protect profits.
Vaccinations have wiped out some of our planet's deadliest diseases.  If you are still not convinced, then you are beyond help.  It's interesting that so many people were up in arms over the parent's of children not taking their kids to doctors which has been in the news over the last year or so. They were angry and thought the parents were criminals because they used prayer instead, and their children died.  But,  it's OK not to get your child vaccinated even though they may get sick and die because of it.  These people are  hypocrites.Â
@Shadow This is not accurate information Shadow....vaccines DID not eradicate any disease....
@tkwrangham Not quite. It is true that the current vaccine wanes in effectiveness OVER time, but it is not a failure. Thus the need for regular boosters. And unfortunately, there was a 5-month old infant that died 6 months ago in Salem. Too young to be vaccinated, but those around the infant also were unvaccinated. That's accurate information.
@Myth_Buster And real science, as opposed to anti-science dogmatic anti-vaxxers, recognizes that the vaccine needs to be improved and a new one will be developed. What tkwrangham fails to note in her logical failure is that pertussis is a deadly disease to a small but significant number of children. Her belief in the Nirvana fallacy, that is, if it's not perfect, it's terrible, misstates the fact that the pertussis vaccine is quite effective, and that those who get the vaccine were at a significantly lower risk of contracting the disease, and when they did get the disease, it was a milder form.Â
Understanding science and the details is much more difficult than writing mistruths and inventing information.
@MSimpson @Myth_Buster Unfortunately, the cases of pertussis that are happening now are coming from vaccinated children, not vaccine choice ones. Even the CDC has admitted this, although I am sure very reluctantly. It goes against their sacred cow.
So sad that inaccurate info on pertussis outbreak given. CDC has stated quite clearly that it was not the unvaccinated that drove the outbreak, but a vaccine failure.
@tkwrangham Please provide evidence of that statement. Because that is not what that they said. Go ahead and invent anything you want, but your saying it does not make it true.
@tkwranghamThey know Pertussis is producing strains showing NO vaccine pertactin. Because they continue to add to the viral/prion/fungal synergy the public is already infected with. The vaccines are causeing our demise and never protected us from anything once they gave us all prion protein infections from spirochetal contaminated vaccine cell lines. Their game is over or we are---one of the 2. Because each and every infectious antigen they introduce has the potential to be our last.

Thank you tkwrangham....I was not at the meeting, but the evidence is clear that the vaccine regiment is truly creating superbugs...

If you believe in vaccinations and have had your children jabbed, what are you concerned about? The logic does not work. The concept of "herd immunity" protecting others--only comes from natural immunity--not from vaccinations. What is an endangerment is the rights of people being infringed, the rights of governments to determine healthcare choices & putting neurotoxins in infants who have not had their own immune systems develop.
@S Loire King No one's rights are being infringed, in fact if you read the brief explanation of Senate Bill 132, you'll find that actually rights are being expanded and the cause for exemption is being expanded.
My "personal belief system" says that anyone who endangers other children shouldn't be allowed to send their children to public schools. Vaccination eliminated smallpox and we are within three countries of eliminating polio. I had chickenpox, measles and whooping cough as a kid. Any parent who is willing to subject their kids to any of these diseases should not have reproduced in the first place.
Conspiracy theories, is that what it's called? Â
"manufacturers collaborate with the government", well hell I don't trust the government any further than I can throw 'em, and the manufacters are only out to make a buck. Not exactly groups you can trust.
