Dear Sir/Madam, I Am Submitting This Submission in the Hope That Parents

Home , Boyd Haley, David Amaral, Glutaraldehyde, Joseph Mercola

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am submitting this submission in the hope that parents like myself will be heard and given fair consideration in regards to the ‘No Jab No Pay” policy.

I am a parent of a child in childcare and next year Early Learning and a child in primary school and Out of School Hours Care. I am sickened to the core by the thought that I will have to leave the workforce and remove my children from care next year as we will not be able to afford full childcare, ELC and OSHC fees. If this happens we will also be forced to sell our house as we cannot afford the mortgage on one wage.

My children are beautiful, warm hearted and full of potential. They deserve the right to an education through childcare and early learning programs as do all children. This legislation discriminates against parents like myself who cannot afford full fees. It does not affect the children of wealthy parents. My children deserve the same rights as their children.

I am not a conspiracy theorist and do not just believe everything on the internet. I am open to all sides of the vaccine topic and critically examine and research every factor until I made my fully informed and educated decision.

I am concerned about the authenticity of safety studies and the lack of independent studies, conflicts of interests, corruption, vaccine ingredients and the relevance of certain vaccines such as Hepatitis B, chicken pox and the Flu vaccine.

I am not entirely anti vaccine. I am not opposed to the concept of vaccines for some illness and do believe vaccines play a role in places where living conditions and emergency healthy care are inadequate. Australia is not one of those places. I am opposed to not being free to make my own informed choice for my own children without penalty, discrimination or abuse from the media, medical profession, politicians or pro vaccine members of the community.

I am opposed to the number of vaccines on the ever expanding vaccine schedule and not being allowed to choose what vaccines my children receive without penalty. My first child was vaccinated on a delayed and selective schedule which I established with my GP. Luckily my daughter did not suffer any severe adverse effects until she received her first MMR at the age of 4 years. Within hours of receiving this vaccine, she developed severe stomach pains and two years on now suffers daily from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Her GP refused to acknowledge the reaction.

My son only received the Infanrix IPV vaccine at 6 months of age. I choose the Infanrix IPV over the standard Infanrix Hexa as my child had no need to be vaccinated with the Hepatitis B component. By that evening my son was unable to swallow breast milk without gaging and was unable to swallow any pureed solids for 7 days amongst other adverse reactions. He then developed a food aversion and went from a child who loved food and had a terrific healthy appetite to one who was afraid of food. Again, the GP refused to acknowledge or even discuss his reaction. She did admit though that his throat was very inflamed. He was not sick at the time the vaccine was administered. The GP refused to report my sons reaction so I made the report to the TGA.

Prior to the constant media and government vaccination campaigns, I was considering allowing my children to have selective vaccines at some point in the future when I felt they were more capable of dealing with side effects but as a result of this ‘all or nothing’ policy, I will never allow them to have another vaccine. My mistrust, hatred and anger of the government, powerful pharmaceutical companies and medical profession has been confirmed and increased as a result of this policy and the total disregard for parental rights and disrespect of my children’s rights.

Vaccines are medical procedures. All medical procedures have risks. Each and every vaccine insert lists dozens of possible adverse reactions from mild to death. No medical procedure should be mandated as is does with this policy. If there is any risk, there needs to be a choice. The entire vaccine schedule has never been tested. Each individual vaccine has been tested through (biased) studies by its makers but the entire schedule has never been tested. My children are not science experiments and should not be treated as potential collateral damage when something does go wrong.

I also believe this policy is a form of coercion and manipulation and stands against the concept of valid consent. The Australian Immunisation Handbook defines valid consent as: “Valid consent can be defined as the voluntary agreement by an individual to a proposed procedure, given after sufficient, appropriate and reliable information about the procedure, including the potential risks and benefits, has been conveyed to that individual” It goes onto to state that for consent to be legally valid, particular elements must be present: 1. It must be given by a person with legal capacity, and of sufficient intellectual capacity to understand the implications of being vaccinated. 2. It must be given voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion or manipulation. 3. It must cover the specific procedure that is to be performed. 4. It can only be given after the potential risks and benefits of the relevant vaccine, risks of not having it and any alternative options have been explained to the individual. http://www.immunise.health.gov.au/internet/immunise/publishing.nsf/Content/Handbook10- home~handbook10part2~handbook10-2-1

This policy will force parents like myself to be coerced into vaccinating in order to keep their children in affordable care through receiving the child care rebate, benefit and end of financial year supplement. I will not be forced.

I was vaccinated as a child in the mid 1970’s to the early 1990’s. Back then, the Australian Vaccine schedule only contained a small number of vaccines. After pharmaceutical companies were given protection from all legal liability, the schedule expanded rapidly to the ridiculous schedule we have today. If the schedule still resembled what it did in the 1970 and 1980’s I do not believe I would have ever questioned it.

Today, the schedule includes vaccines such as Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox. Children are at almost no risk of catching Hep B unless the mother is infected or they are in high risk homes. It is a blood born virus mostly amongst IV drugs user and sex workers. All women are screened for it during routine blood tests during pregnancy. I am not Hep B positive and my children do fall into this risk group. They therefore do not need to be vaccinated against it. This policy forces all children to be vaccinated regardless of need or risk.

When I was a child, Chicken Pox was a mild and normal short term illness which was considered ‘better to get it over and done with now as a child’ by parents. Contracting the illness normally results in life long immunity. Chicken Pox is almost always a mild illness in childhood but can be severe in adulthood. The short term vaccine immunity (if any) children are now receiving from the vaccine, will mean they are at high risk of catching the illness as an adult and would be at high risk of suffering severe complications. Below I have listed all vaccines and their ingredients on the Australian vaccine schedule. Please take time to read this information.

I have spoken to numerous GP’s and Paediatricians in my research and decision making. Neither of my children’s Paediatricians approve of the current vaccine schedule. They believe there are too many too soon, too many bundled vaccines and too many completely unnecessary vaccines such as Hep B, Chicken Pox and Rotavirus.

In conclusion to my submission, I urge you to consider all sides to the vaccine topic. The science is not clear and settled as I have demonstrated. Please consider all children that this policy will impact upon. My children are extremely healthy. They are not a risk to anyone. I go to great lengths to ensure they have strong immune systems. I am also a responsible parent who would not place other children at risk by sending sick children to school or child care. Please consider the impact that this policy will have on unvaccinated or particially vaccinated children. They deserve the same rights as all vaccinated children. I am very concerned that if this policy is made law, there will be no end to the mandating of vaccines for schools and the workplace. I am very concerned for my children’s future. I urge you to not support this legislation.

Thank you
