What You Need to Know About The Proposed
Model State Emergency Health Powers Act in Your State
The
terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001,
and the subsequent threats of biological warfare against U.S. citizens have
prompted calls by public health officials to prepare for mass vaccination
campaigns for anthrax and smallpox. National vaccination programs targeting
civilians, including children, are being proposed in model state legislation
that would give public health officials the power to use the state militia to
enforce vaccination during state-declared health emergencies. While it is
critical for the U.S. to have a sound, workable plan to respond to an act of
bioterrorism, as well as enough safe and effective vaccines stockpiled for every
American who wants to use them, there are legitimate concerns about a plan which
forces citizens to use vaccines
without their voluntary, informed consent.
In
this time of great sadness, fear and confusion, Americans have a choice to make;
either we defend the individual freedoms our forefathers fought and died to give
us, or we sacrifice those freedoms and let the terrorists win. What we choose to
do will define who we are as a nation for many years to come.
When federal and state public health officials convince your Governor to
declare a “public health” emergency, they want to be able to use the
“state militia” to:
-
take control of all roads leading into and out of your cities and
state;
-
seize your house, car, telephones, computers, food, fuel, clothing, firearms and alcoholic beverages for their own use (and not be held liable if these actions result in the destruction of your personal property);
-
arrest, imprison and forcibly examine, vaccinate and medicate you and your children without your consent (and not be held liable if these actions result in your death or injury).
