Don't trust the World Health Organization to look out for your best interest. They have too much Communist/Fascist inluence. - Thomas Paine Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:24:50 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3018 Vaccinations are mandated for Public School kids - and those homeschool kids that desire to use any part of the system that their parents' support with compulsory tax dollars. And shockingly, look up the story about a young, female Christian immigrating legally to the USA and being told by the State department that she must be vaccinated with the HPV/cerivical cancer shot (Gardasil) or face deportation! She is protesting on religious grounds: she intends to live a sexually moral life and therefore, among other reasons, has no need for this inoculation. - Kawika Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:03:55 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3007 For a great plan about health care reform, but shunning and opposing government involvement, see: http://www.theoakinitiative.org/news.php - Pat Henry Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:13:29 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3006 Our county sheriff stated that no one in this county would be forced to receive the H1N1 vaccine. - Larry Brown Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:59:58 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3003 JW's do enjoy any medical treatment and seek doctors and specialists when they get ill. The only thing they'll refuse is blood transfusion during operations. Instead of that they prefer bloodless surgery.

("There are several religious denominations in our country that do not believe in medical treatment, at least not to the level that most citizens’ make use of the medical profession." note the SECOND part of this sentence) most people WILL accept a blood transfusion. therefore i hope this author does NOT make a correction to this story! - katbird_27 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:41:54 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3001 I agree that forced mandatory vaccines violate the freedom of religion for some people but it does not apply to those who do not want to take an extremely dangerous and horrible medicine called vaccines. Most people know by instinct and logical reasoning that they have a natural right to not be compelled to have some "medicine" forced into them. Natural law (God's laws) say we cannot be forced to take a vaccine against our will. However, the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments prohibit forced vaccines also. 4th Amendment- The right of the people TO BE SECURE IN THEIR PERSONS, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED. . . 5th Amd.- No person shall be . . . deprived of life, LIBERTY, or property, without due process of law. 14Amd- No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; NOR SHALL ANY STATE DEPRIVE ANY PERSON OF LIFE, LIBERTY, OR PROPERTY, WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. It also violates the 9th and 10th Amendments since nothing in the Constitution authorizes the federal govt to make any laws regarding health care or vaccines. Thus, the issue is reserved to the people or the States. - Raymond B. Mitchell Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:32:00 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-3000 As has been stated Jehovah's Witnesses have no restriction on any medical treatment apart from that which involves the transfusion of blood. http://www.watchtower.org/e/hb/index.htm?article=article_03.htm - Pauline Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:48:56 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-2999 YI 1) JW's DO USE many parts aka 'fractions' aka components of blood,so if it's 'sacred' to God why the hypocritical contradiction flip-flop? 2) They USE blood collections that are donated by Red Cross and others but don't donate back,more hypocrisy. 3) The Watchtower promotes and praises bloodless elective surgeries,this is a great advancement indeed.BUT it's no good to me if I am bleeding to death from a car crash and lose much of my blood volume and need EMERGENCY blood transfusion. Remember the Jehovah's Witnesses use thousands and thousands of pints of blood donated by others.They use 60% of the blood volume as broken down "fractions" then go on Bible thumping rants about how dangerous and sinful blood transfusions are. ( JW do allow organ transplants which has more risk than whole blood transfusions so their arguments of disease transmission is bogus) - Danny Haszard Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:39:30 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-2998 Jehovah's Witnesses only refrain from medical practices prohibited in the Bible. This includes the eating and medical use of whole blood or any of it's 4 main parts. Outside of this, each Christian decides for himself what medical procedures he will pursue according to his Bible-trained conscience. This information is widely known, and it has never been a policy or practice to shun the medical community as a whole. This article unfortunately is incorrect in naming Jehovah's Witnesses as abstaining from modern medicine. Please make a correction. - T K Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:21:01 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-2997 Great article. And for those who think the only objection is the principle of freedom, see the National Vaccine Information Center, http://www.nvic.org/ - Pat Henry Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:29:13 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-2996 Mr. Thompson and rprew. You are both absolutely correct. Please keep up the truth telling. - DDW Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:26:51 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5645-flu-shots-and-freedom#comment-2994 "...as if they need treatment to cure them of such beliefs. The latter may seem a stretch..." Not a stretch at all. We see a form of this happening all the time with employer mandated "diversity training" or "sensitivity training". It is an attempt to condition us to all the irrational malarkey called "moral relativism". If you "resist" or are in anywise "uncooperative" during this feeble attempt at brainwashing, you are labeled as "not being a team player" or branded as being "insensitive", or perhaps even fired! - rprew Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:48:01 +0100
