States given power to force vaccines and medication under Model State Emergency Health Powers Act Sandpoint, ID-Attorneys commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta have advanced health policy legislation that dramatically suspends civil rights in case of a declared biological urgency. The "Model State Emergency Health Powers Act," according to the Boston Globe, would give public health officials and states governors the power to arrest, transport, quarantine, drug, and vaccinate anyone suspected of carrying a potentially infectious disease. The "model legislation," issued on Halloween, is certainly no treat. The Globe reported that authors Lawrence O. Gostin, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and Director of the Center for Law and the Public's Health, and James G. Hodge of John Hopkins University worked to balance the need to control disease with protecting individual's civil rights, before the newspaper promptly, and uncustomarily for reasons unknown, removed the article from its website. The Globe report provided conflicting statements concerning the right people had to "appeal states' decisions to quarantine or isolate people against their will. Late in the article, as in the 40-page official document, the law is said to give state public health authorities virtually absolute dictatorial powers, with little chance of legal recourse for interned individuals. The bill's definition of a "public health emergency" is highly subjective. Under the law, one case of smallpox in a public school could trigger authorities to urge a governor to declare a state of emergency. Once such is declared, the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and most cherished civil liberties will be immediately suspended in addition to states declaring ownership of private properties. The controversial legislation, that many feel reflects totalitarianism or fascism, may be downloaded from www.publichealthlaw.net/MSEHPA/MSEHPA.pdf. Under the "Mandatory Medical Examinations" section (502) of the law, persons refusing to submit to medical examinations and/or testings are liable for misdemeanors and forced isolation. If public health authorities suspect individuals may have been exposed to broadly defined infectious diseases, or otherwise pose a risk to public health, officials may issue detainment orders. In the case of an urban attack, or even one suspected, possibly thousands of people could be marshaled into isolation camps, according to the law. In this case, physicians, assisted by police, will be required to perform state medical examinations and tests. Under the law, "infectious diseases" are very broadly defined. An infectious disease may, or may not, be transmissible from person to person, animal to person, or insect to person. Isolation regulations in the law provide The State with power to commandeer private properties wherein individuals deemed infected, or exposed, might be housed under quarantine. Section 504 of the Act details vaccination and treatment protocols. Following these mandates, public health authorities may compel people to be inoculated and/or drugged with any medicaments selected by The State. Individuals refusing to be vaccinated or treated would be liable for a misdemeanor, subject to police arrest, isolation or quarantine. The "model legislation" exempts The State, its political subdivisions, including the Governor, public health authorities, the police, or other State officials, from liabilities associated with the death or injury to persons, or damage to property, as a result of complying with, or attempting to comply with, the Act. Furthermore, "Section 807" repeals existing state laws that are in conflict with this Act. [This means that all laws granting medical, religious or philosophical exemptions to immunization would be repealed with the passage of this Act.] This legislation has been in the works for over a year with many provisions being taken from legislation that has already passed in California and Colorado. Legislation such as the Model Health Emergency Powers Act and other bills being pushed through Congress following the event of September 11, calls into question just how threatened the powers that be are by the populace waking up enmass. More and more people are saying no to allopathic medicine, vaccines and worthless medical tests. The truth regarding the link between the MMR vaccine and autism; the conflicts of interest within the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices that creates the current vaccine schedule used in all 50 states; and the problems with the current administration of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program have ALL been the subject of three separate congressional hearings. To date, no legislation has been proposed that addresses the many serious issues raised in these congressional hearings. Instead, we are treated to legislation that would force toxic vaccines and pharmaceutical medications on the populace. The time to wake up your friends and neighbors is now. We suggest that you purchase Dr. Len Horowitz's latest book, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare, and share this information with your friends. Dr. Horowitz boldly dedicates this book to the "army of healthcare professionals, allied academicians, and research scientists whose humanitarian motives made them highly susceptible to 'behavioral management' and who - like good 'Manchurian candidates' - unwittingly committed murder and genocide in the name of 'public health'. May this book serve to break the spell under which they operate." Death in the Air will give you the background you need to understand the true agenda behind current legislation being proposed for the "public good". To put a stop to any legislation that will give broad police powers to the public health authority, suspend the Nuremburg Code and force the public to submit to medical experimentation, we further recommend that you: 1) Start your day with prayer, asking God to direct your energy in the best way to move the hearts and minds of those around you. Visualize a mass awakening with the vast majority resisting the police state. 2) Make a list of your area senators and state representatives with contact information. Find out who is on the Health and Welfare Committee in your state and send each member information about vaccines (many articles are available from www.vaclib.org.) or your personal testimony of the damage you have incurred as a result of vaccines or allopathic medications. 3) Write letters to the editor of your local newspaper. Call into talk radio stations and share with the listeners about this dangerous legislation. Forward this news release to everyone in your email address book. ___ Contact: Ingri Cassel - 208-265-2575 888-508-4787
