Immunization Waivers--BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN...

If you are in a situation where you feel you 'have to' sign the waiver, here is a very clever way to LEGALLY avoid immunizations for you or your child...

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE BECAUSE IT PROVIDES SOME VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON HOW CRAFTY WORDING MAY PUT YOU IN LEGAL TROUBLE, AND HOW TO AVOID IT.

Thanks to the parent who posted this on Vaccination Liberation http://www.vaclib.org/exempt/newyork.htm#letters
(this site also has a plethora of information, sources, documents, and even sample letters. for this specific text, click the link and scroll UP slowly.)

It is important to first point out a few important facts regarding waivers:
1. You are under no obligation to sign anything immediately

2. Your child does NOT have to get that on that specific day. If you were out of town, your doctor would have gladly rescheduled!,

3. It is your right to have a copy of the document to examine before signing

4. It is your right to make revisions to any document, but you must affix your initials to any changes you have made, then sign the document at the bottom.

5. It is much easier to create a document that says exactly what you want it to, and it is your legal right to do so.

*Please check your state and local laws for specific rules, codes and exemption procedures.

Waivers - Take Care In Signing

If you take your new baby to an MD as opposed to a naturopath and/or chiropractor, please be aware of and careful of any forms you sign.

Our WARNING below is about signing (some) state approved and AAP created forms. See this letter from our director, Ingri Cassel, before you consider signing waiver forms.

WARNING!

Dear VacLib Members and Friends -

Wanted to give you all a heads up on state issued exemption forms. I haven't had to deal with this personally for several years, and I always crossed out sentences or clauses, and often adding some of my own, before signing their exemption of medical release type of forms. When Donna Carrillo began to diligently search out existing exemption forms and posting them, I read over a couple of them and encouraged people to make up their own whenever possible. After having a "closer encounter" with such a form - a form provided to the state of Idaho by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and used by licensed Idaho daycares, I was shocked into the VERY REAL danger of signing these forms without changing them significantly.

Any form one affixes their initials to, dates and affixes their signature to at the end is a LEGAL document. All statements prior to your signature you must agree to fully OR restrict your signature to say that you are signing under TDC - threat, duress, and coercion. The form that my daughter was told she needed to fill out for this daycare is posted here: https://iris.idaho.gov/irisweb/pdf/ChildCareExemptForm.pdf On this form, she crossed out all the "nots" and in her personal statement she further clarified that she understands fully the risks of vaccinating her child.

I have since found out that most public schools and daycares in other states also use a similar form. Basically, by initialing and signing this form as is, you are admitting to understanding that "vaccine preventable" diseases are extremely deadly and ALSO admitting to negligence for willfully denying your son/daughter the life saving protection that vaccines offer. These forms are MEANT to not only be intimidating but to catch the legally ignorant off guard. This is very serious to me since all states have adopted the federally funded Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act which gives states the right to literally steal your children for up to 48 hours -- the time they have to prove child neglect OR abuse.

If it were ME, I would insist that they accept a form that I provide them since it satisfies the law. If there are any problems or they insist on me using their form, I would cite the law and ask the school or daycare provider where it actually says in state statute that this particular form is the only form that will satisfy the law. Since your parental rights are at stake here, it is best to be vigilant and err on the side of being overly cautious.
