Mary Holland, Esq., President of Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and Kim Mack Rosenberg, Esq., CHD’s General Counsel have submitted written expert-witness testimony to the members of Vermont’s Senate Health & Welfare Committee, in strong opposition to a proposal that would open up access to Vermont’s children age 12+ for vaccination and medication, expressly without parent consent.
Currently tucked inside a bill for “transparency”, the proposed language was introduced on 4/27/2023 (one day after the Dartmouth Roundtable on COVID-19 Mandates) and is being lobbied by the American Academy of Pediatrics , Planned Parenthood , and others.
Supporters say they want to ‘provide information,’ increase vaccination ‘rates in this age group’, and offer confidential ‘preventative services’ - including HPV vaccines, hepatitis vaccines, HIV ‘PREP’ pills, and other products for ‘sexually transmitted infection’. The latest bill draft also seeks to redefine ‘venereal disease’ to ‘sexually transmitted infection’ throughout all existing VT statutes.
Many are opposing - because 'minor consent' is an obvious end-run around parents and the many millions of adult Americans who have either direct experience with HPV vaccination injury and/or have serious, well founded questions regarding the safety and efficacy of these vaccinations.
In their expert-witness testimony, Holland and Mack Rosenberg of CHD provide critically important evidence, specifically about HPV vaccines - including the facts that:
HPV vaccines have never been shown to prevent cervical cancer
-
(“the incidence rate actually rose for the youngest, most vaccinated women”)
- (“a greater reduction occurred between 2000 and 2006 – prior to the vaccine’s introduction”)
The vast majority of HPV infections clear on their own
-
(“only 0.18% of HPV infections worldwide ever become cervical cancer”)
There have been significant reports of adolescents injured by HPV vaccines, including 629 deaths, thousands of serious and disabling injuries (and >75,000 total reports)
-
(“injuries include death and many serious health conditions such as brain inflammation, strokes, acute transverse myelitis, seizures and other uncontrolled body movements, blood clots, heart attacks and other cardiac conditions, autoimmune or related conditions (including Guillain Barré Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, premature ovarian failure, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis”)
-
(“the majority of reported adverse events occurred in adolescents, under age 17”)
More than one hundred cases against Merck are now pending in multi-district litigation
- (“The absence of saline placebos and other clinical trial manipulations should give you pause in allowing children to determine whether or not to get this vaccine without parental involvement in what should be a careful weighing of risks and benefits”)
-
(“Plaintiffs in these cases allege, among other things, that Merck’s fraud led to their injuries”)
In addition to“raising serious concerns about providing medical treatment to children who cannot exercise informed consent”, Vermont’s proposal “runs afoul of federal law” and “endangers the health and well-being of Vermont’s children.”
