NYS Legislation to Vaccinate Children WITHOUT Parental Consent

NYS Legislation to Vaccinate Children WITHOUT Parental Cons

FYI/ ACTION

The New York State Senate is about to vote on legislation that will give a
school nurse or doctor the power to vaccinate children under- age 18 years
of age with controversial vaccines such as GARDASIL and Hep B-- WITHOUT
parental "consent or knowledge." Sexually transmitted diseases are NOT
communicable through casual contact. The Gardasil vaccine is engulfed in
much controversy because it is not at all proven that its risk / benefit
ratio favors children's welfare.
Indeed, the vaccine's period of effectiveness is unknown while mounting
evidence shows that it poses serious risks for some children and young women
exposed to it.

See: The Risks and Benefits of HPV Vaccination by Charlotte Haug, MD, PhD,
MSc JAMA. EDITORIAL. 2009;302(7):795-796.
http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/302/7/795?home

Not be ignored is Merck's record of aggressive, illegal marketing of drugs
including the Gardasil vaccine: Merck is on record of having bribed state
legislators to mandate Gardasil.

Let the NYS legislators below know that S4779B violates parental rights and
responsibility to make healthcare decisions on behalf of their children.
S4779B is BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF SCHOOL AUTHORITY.

Who will bear moral, medical, and financial responsibility should a child be
harmed by a vaccine that was administered to a child WITHOUT parental
knowledge or consent?

Friends: The following info is of critical importance to religious
conservatives and/or parents who wish to have consent rights for
vaccinations.

The NYS Senate Code Committee will vote on S4779B Tuesday (tomorrow)
at 10:30 AM in the capitol blding. L

WHY is this bill bad?

It gives a school nurse or MD the power to vaccinate or treat (if
infected) your under-18 year old child with STD vaccinations (Hep-B and
GARDASIL) WITHOUT your "consent or knowledge."

It also seems flawed. Are there provisions in state law that
defines one who has a "capacity" to consent to a vaccination? If not, then
how can this law be implemented? And what would prevent a school nurse from
vaxxing a 6 yr old student? And how could a 6 yr old "consent" to
obtaining a vaccine?

This is the applicable excerpt:

QUOTE
This section also provides that a health care practitioner may
provide health care related to the prevention of a sexually transmissible
disease, including administering vaccines, to a person under age eighteen
without the consent or knowledge of his or her parents or guardians,
provided such person has capacity to, consent to the care, without regard to
the person's age, and the-person consents.
UNQUOTE

There are other problems with this bill. But here's the wording for
you to judge:

BILL NUMBER: S4779B

TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation
to providing medical care to minors for sexually transmitted diseases
without a parent's or guardian's consent

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : To ensure that the immunization
against HPV is administered to people at a time when it is most effective.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section one amends section 2305 of
the public health law to provide that no person other than a health care
practitioner shall diagnose, treat or prescribe for a person who is infected
with a sexually transmissible disease, or who has been exposed to infection
with a sexually transmissible disease, or dispense or sell a drug, medicine
or remedy for the treatment of such person except on prescription of a
health care practitioner.

Section two amends subdivision 2 of section 2305 of the public
health law to provide that a health care practitioner may diagnose, treat or
prescribe treatment for a sexually transmissible disease for a person under
age eighteen without the consent or knowledge of his or her parents or
guardians where such person is infected with a sexually transmissible
disease or has been exposed to infection with a sexually transmissible
disease.

This section also provides that a health care practitioner may
provide health care related to the prevention of a sexually transmissible
disease, including administering vaccines, to a person under age eighteen
without the consent or knowledge of his or her parents or guardians,
provided such person has capacity to, consent to the care, without regard to
the person's age, and the-person consents. The section provides further that
any release of patient information regarding vaccines provided under this
section shall be consistent with sections 17 and 18 of the public health law
and other applicable laws and regulations.

drugs for sexually transmitted diseases to be given to New York
children
WITHOUT parental consent

parents

* If a child has a drug or vaccine reaction, the parents
won't know
what is happening or how to help

* These bills apply to ALL children - there is NO age limit

* A child's has a limited capacity to understand
pharmaceutical drug
and vaccine risks and identify side effects they may experience

* Unknown vaccine administrators don't know the child's
medical
history, vaccine contraindications, allergies, and past vaccine
reactions

* Children unknowingly are giving up their legal rights when
asking
for a vaccine because Federal
