Mandating vaccinations: APIC

http://anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/2009/09/mandating-vaccinations-apic.html

[FROM MERYL NASS, M.D.]

APIC is the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology. Its President and most officers are RNs, but no particular qualifications are required for membership, apart from a $175 annual fee. An August 31, 2009 APIC announcement says, "The association's more than 12,000 members direct infection control programs that save lives and improve the bottom line for hospitals and other healthcare facilities around the globe."

APIC's announcement further states: "All healthcare workers, including those who are pregnant, need to be immunized against seasonal influenza and 2009 H1N1 virus when vaccines become available... Current rates of healthcare worker immunizations are appallingly low and must not be tolerated. It's time for hospitals to require flu shots--and hold employees accountable for declining the vaccine."

Why is it so important to be immunized this year?

"Immunization will be especially critical for healthcare personnel during the 2009-2010 flu season because we will have more than one virus circulating,” said APIC 2009 President Christine J. Nutty, RN, MSN, CIC.

Pardon me, Ms. Nutty. Do you understand the facts upon which your assertions are based? There are multiple influenza viruses circulating every flu season, and sometimes outside the season. That is why seasonal flu shots contain antigens from 3 different strains. Frequently the circulating strains change mid-season. Therefore, having more than one virus circulating is not and has never been unique or critical. Here is the composition of this year's vaccine.

According to CDC's Anne Schuchat, 2% of currently circulating influenza virus is of the seasonal type, and 98% is swine flu. This suggests the population should be eligible to receive swine flu vaccines, but if seasonal flu remains at 2% it would hardly be necessary to vaccinate for it.

However, the swine flu vaccines have not completed safety testing. Nor do we know how effective they really are: the only data available currently concern antibody levels generated, not cases of flu prevented, and even these data are not available for children and pregnant women.

Why do you want to mandate vaccines whose safety and effectiveness are not yet known? Did one of your strategic partners, a partner in prevention or other corporate relationships suggest it? APIC should be held accountable for providing information on where this idea for mandating vaccinations really originated, and whether, how much and by whom APIC was paid to produce and disseminate it.

More Deadly Swine Flu? CDC Mixes H1N1, H5N1 Viruses in Tests:

http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2009/09/17/more-deadly-swine-flu-cdc-mixes-h1n1-h5n1-viruses-in-tests/

By Betsy McKay

Public-health officials are breathing a small sigh of relief that the H1N1 swine flu virus hasn’t mutated to become more deadly since emerging last spring. But what are the chances it will?

To find out, scientists at the CDC recently launched experiments in the agency’s labs in which they infected ferrets with both the new H1N1 virus and the highly lethal H5N1 avian flu virus to see if they might “reassort” to create a new hybrid.

The scientists want to know whether a combination of the H1N1 virus -– highly transmissible, but not terribly deadly -– and the H5N1 flu virus could create an easily transmissible, deadly scourge. The H5N1 virus has only sickened 440 people world-wide since 2003 and generally isn’t transmitted from one person to another. But it has killed 262, or about 60%, of those people, according to the World Health Organization.

Excerpt from “PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS”:

Excerpt from “PLAINTIFF’S [C. Reynolds'] OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT’S [Florida's] MOTION TO DISMISS”:

<<<

Plaintiff Reynold’s objects to the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss as follows:

1. The Plaintiff is not a licensed attorney nor a person representing an artificial entity. The Plaintiff, a free Floridian, is entitled to redress to the government and access to the courts as a matter of right. The change of venue to Leon County would be a denial of access to the courts. It would be a deliberate and oppressive burden upon the Plaintiff, who would be forced to travel and to pay additional expenses to pursue a basic right.

“All political power is inherent in the people. The enunciation herein of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or impair others retained by the people.”

Constitution, Article 1, Section 1.

“The people shall have the right peaceably to assemble, to instruct their representatives, and to petition for redress of grievances.”

Florida Constitution, Article 1, Section 5.

2. Plaintiff Reynolds objects to the assertion that she has no standing to challenge a law which allows the state to disregard her basic rights as a sovereign Floridian. A reading of the statute clearly assumes that the state may seize, incarcerate and forcibly medicate anyone it wishes. There is no due process before the denial of inalienable rights. Clearly, such actions could be taken by the state against anyone within Florida. Either the people of Florida are sovereign over their own bodies or not. If they are not sovereign over their own bodies, by what authority does the state claim ownership? By what authority does the state have the right to injure and possibly kill by forced medication and physically force a sovereign Floridian?

Navarre woman takes on Gov. Crist:

NAVARRE — A woman wants to take Gov. Charlie Crist to court.

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Carmen Reynolds has named Crist, Attorney General Bill McCollum and Florida Surgeon General Ana Viamonte Ros in a lawsuit in Santa Rosa County Circuit Court that challenges a state statute governing public health.

“I am retired military, so I understand about following orders and towing the line and falling in,” she said. “But, this is very troubling.”

Reynolds, who is serving as her own attorney, is opposed to a section of the statute that allows law enforcement to use any means necessary to vaccinate a resident in case if an emergency.

Chapter 381.00315(1)(b)4 says a person can be forced to be tested, vaccinated, treated, examined or quarantined for communicable diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to the public.

“I’m not against all vaccines, but I’m against any provision in any state statute that says we must forego all of our rights and, at the arbitrary whim of either our state government or our federal government, be subject to any and all force necessary to subject us to a vaccine. We’re talking physical force,” Reynolds said.
