An Information Revolution is underway in America
and in many developed countries around the world.
Affordable computers and the worldwide web are
bringing new information into the homes of hundreds
of millions of people while grassroots efforts to create
community forums are also giving people of all ages
an opportunity to become activist citizens. People are
reaching out to each other in small and large public
forums to talk about important health issues which
affect their lives. Vaccine information is being
communicated at conferences and in "town hall"
meetings, where citizens are also organizing to insert
legal protections in vaccine laws for the right to make
informed, voluntary vaccination decisions.



On August 17, the Jackson chapter of theMississippi
Vaccine Information Center
(http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001fZJSD9QuCy9aqGerQd5bpKI2Twd4Mk-bmQN4ecKYv67T0u_xy6ot\
gb-mIsLyKsp0gRnh_zV-pvoSHy0FzqZqcPlUfoZMasZ58dS9F_vHDMyEWkRAAbi9awPYvEslLfAg)
held a meeting at a
local library where neurosurgeon and wellness expert
Russell Blaylock, M.D. spoke about the effects of
vaccination on the developing brain. Mississippi is
one of two states that only allows a medical
exemption to vaccination and the group also
discussed the importance of working to insert
informed consent protections in state vaccine laws to
provide for religious and conscientious/philosophical
belief exemptions.

was attended by about 60 people and meetings in
different parts of the state are held on a regular basis.
Hattiesburg Mom, Kellie Bischof, founded the
Mississippi Vaccine Information Center a year ago out
of concern for the lack of informed consent protections
in Mississippi vaccine laws. The group is affiliated
with the National Vaccine Information Center and
National Autism Association.

Little Falls, New Jersey and on September 4 at the

gathering in front of the State House to demonstrate
their support for the right to make informed, voluntary
vaccination decisions.



The Coalition includes NVIC and other parent
groups
as members. The Coalition is the latest development
in the several decade effort of parents in New Jersey
to educate legislators about oppressive vaccine laws
that began with the founding of an NVIC chapter in the
1980's now known as the New Jersey Alliance for
Informed Choice in Vaccination (NJAICV)

The grassroots vaccine safety and informed
consent
movement begun by parents of vaccine injured
children in 1982 is gaining momentum in its third
decade of parents educating other parents about the
importance of making well informed vaccination
decisions. A growing number of parents are
understanding that making informed vaccination
choices is part of learning how to provide children with
healthier alternatives to dependence on the
pharmaceutical model for staying well. Knowledge IS
power and only an educated health care consumer
can make wise decisions in the grocery store, the
doctor's office or the ballot booth.

Group Supports Parents' Choice Not to Vaccinate

A growing number of new parents is opting not to
vaccinate their children fearing birth defects and long
term illnesses.



One local group advocating choice is building
momentum in an effort to change state mandates.




The Jackson chapter of the Mississippi
Vaccination Information Center gathered for their
monthly meeting at the Flowood Library to learn more
about changing the state's laws regarding children's
immunization against diseases.



The group was formed about six months ago.




Organizers say they are not anti-vaccination, but
instead want parents to have a choice.



Jamie Roth is a mother of two who decided not to
vaccinate her children.



She said, "The risks outweigh the benefits, and
I'm not willing to go there. I understand that my child
might get sick from one of these illnesses, but I'm
willing to risk that as opposed to willing to risk what
might happen if I vaccinate them."



Neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock made a
presentation on Vaccines and the Brain.



Nearly 60 people attended the meeting.



Many are concerned that vaccines are linked to
autism, other illnesses and even death.



Several parents in attendance are in the health
and medical fields.



Chiropractor Dr. Debra Barnes organized the
Jackson chapter.



"When I came to Mississippi we did not know
about the mandatory vaccination law and now
currently are home schooling our children because of
that ruling, because we don't want to have the chance
of a reaction like a lot of other children have," said
Barnes.



Parents say they do not want government
agencies making their medical decisions.



The group is working to petition the state
legislature to change the laws mandating
vaccinations.



They also are pushing for philosophical and
religious waivers.



There are also MVIC chapters in Starkville and
Hattiesburg.



The Jackson group meets the third Monday of
each month at the Flowood Library.
