Welcome To Vaccine Awareness Network


Hello from Vaccination Awareness Network. We were founded in 1997 after our family were removed from three doctors registers for refusing to submit our daughter for vaccination.

We wanted to provide support for other parents who had chosen not to vaccinate, those parents who were concerned with vaccine issues, those who wanted alternatives (such as single jabs) and those who have vaccine damaged children.

We sell books on vaccines and healthcare which will soon be available on this site. Our books are also available on Amazon and other leading online bookstores.

We have found that the web is far more popular than paper so we have created this new site of vaccine information for new mums and dads.

Please note that it costs money to run this site and it will close down in a year's time if we don't get enough donations so please donate whatever you can afford to help us continue this service.

If there are any suggestions for topics you would like to see covered in our articles pages, please contact us to suggest a topic.

The baby featured as our site logo is Anthony, a DOLLY, and he is the mascot for VAN UK. He represents babies who are harmed by vaccination. No actual baby was made to cry for that picture.

Happy Parenting!

Joanna K Jones

Founder VAN UK.

JCVI TRYING TO FORCE VACCINATION ON PEOPLE

Changes To The Law On Vaccination

Contrary to assurances given by the UK Government to leading politicians, fears earlier this year that the Government is moving to make the vaccination schedule compulsory for British citizens [including children] without reference to Parliament, and without public debate seem to be being borne out.

New law introduced by the backdoor in January this year obliges the Secretary of State for Health to implement any recommendations of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation: [Government Hands Drug Industry Control of Vaccination].

Under the new law, the JCVI is now asking [full quote below]:-

* what exactly ‘right’ meant [under the new NHS constitution] with respect to the right of a child to receive a vaccine when their parents were opposed to vaccination and

* how the constitution affected the recommendations of the JCVI with respect to legal challenge.’“

In other words, if a parent does not want a child vaccinated but the JCVI have recommended all children be vaccinated, the JCVI are asking can their recommendation be challenged by the parent. It would seem once they have their answer, they will decide whether or not to make their recommendation. This appears one step from compulsory vaccination for children regardless of parental views or concerns.

If the JCVI decide to make their recommendation, and a legal case ensues this might mean a Guardian is appointed by the State to represent the interests of the child and through the Guardian sue its own parents to insist on the “right” to be vaccinated as mandated by the JCVI. The parents would in effect be forced to defend the case against their own child brought through the Guardian to oppose their own child being vaccinated. Once the first case was decided, the matter would be settled in practical terms for all UK parents.

Thus the UK appears to be on the verge of ‘1984′ style legislation and guidelines in which freedoms are taken away from citizens framed in terms of rights granted. And this has happened without political or public debate, scrutiny or democratic vote.

The newly published draft minutes for the JCVI in February disclose that the new status granted it by Health Minister Dawn Primarolo by executive order in January seem designed to tie up with unmentioned provisions in the new National Health Service Constitution.

According to the JCVI minutes the new NHS constitution states:

‘You have the right to receive the vaccinations that the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisation recommend that you should receive under an NHS provided national immunisation programme.’

And:

‘You should participate in important public health programmes such as vaccination.’

The minutes state:

‘The JCVI was pleased the recommendations of the committee would have the force of law behind it. The committee asked for clarification on the constitution including what exactly ‘right’ meant with respect to the right of a child to receive a vaccine when their parents were opposed to vaccination and how the constitution affected the recommendations of the JCVI with respect to legal challenge.’

Irrespective of any claimed benefits of a vaccine programme the constitutional implications of this change are concerning.

The JCVI is by law now a law unto itself and flexing its muscles despite a history of disregard for safety issues over the past 20 years and more.

It is unclear what ultimate responsibility the JCVI bears for its actions, or if any sanctions apply to it. The criterion for recommendations by the JCVI is purely on “cost-effectiveness” not safety - a re-statement of the committee’s defective historical remit. JCVI members have financial and professional associations with vaccine manufacturers. No action has been taken to curb this.

Any ordinary concept of legality appears subverted, and power ceded to industry insiders.

This has taken place without democratic reference: compulsory vaccination is not part of any party’s policy and it has never been debated in Parliament.

What You Can Do

DON'T PANIC -THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SAFEGUARD YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

1. Firstly, stay calm. The vaccination business is run on fear (see swine flu page, recipe for selling flu vaccines, written by the CDC as an example). They want you to feel backed into a corner and as if you don't have any choice.

2. Write a letter of protest to 10 Downing Street about the transferal of vaccine decisions to the JCVI, rather than through normal government processes.

3. Write a letter of protest about mandatory vaccines to your local MP and to the National Assembly for Wales, here:

https://www.assemblywales.org/memhome/mem-contact/eform-email-a-member.htm

The minister proposing coerced vaccination is Edwina Hart. Contact her here:
Contact Edwina Hart by email at: Correspondence.Edwina.Hart@wales.gsi.gov.uk
to make a complaint.

Another MP in favour of forced vaccination is Lynne Neagle. You can write her a letter of complaint at:

lynne.neagle@ wales.gov.uk

4. VAN UK will be coordinating with other groups to plan PEACEFUL demonstrations outside parliment. When we have more information, we will post it. Contact us if you wish to take part in a PEACEFUL demonstration.

5. Consider home schooling your child. Proposed mandates appear to be around school entry, and under 16's can be pressured in school to consent to a vaccine in spite of parental objection.
School is not a legal requirement, only education is.

There would be a limit to what the state can do in the case of a home educated child, since he is out of the state system - particularly if he has always been home educated and never gone to school, as then there is no legal requirement to notify the education authority.

6. Roughly 5% of parents choose not to vaccinate at all, that's 5 children in every 100. Another 15% refuse MMR. That's approximately 20-25% of the population who refuse some or all vaccines. There are far too many parents with this objection for the JCVI to sue, and too many of us willing to fight, for them to be successful.

At the very least, we would be entitled to exemptions like parents get in other countries that mandate, namely philosophical, medical or religious exemptions.

VAN UK will be seeking legal advice in order to assist our clients should the JCVI ever try to sue a parent via a 'guardian of the state'. Watch this space for more information.

The Orphan Project

This is slightly off topic for VAN UK, but still very worthwhile, so I mention it here in case any kind person would like to help.

I (Joanna - founder of VAN UK and owner of this site) am going to Costa Rica in Latin America for 3 weeks in October 2010 to help care for orphan children. I would go for longer but don't want to leave my own children longer than 3 weeks.

These children have no parents and need love and attention from people, so I will be playing with them, helping to organise activities for them to do, helping with the physical therapy of those children who are disabled and doing general chores around the orphanage. I may also be placed in soup kitchens for the poor and homeless, while I am there, but I won't be sure of this until I get there.

All of this is voluntary (they are NOT paying me) and I need to raise money for the flights to Costa Rica and for the Latin American family who will be gracious enough to let me stay in their home.

I will be keeping an online diary and photographs of the orphan project on the site so that anyone who donates can see where their money went.

If you wish to donate, go to the orphan project page.

If you think you can help in any other way, you can also contact me.

A HUGE THANK YOU for your support!

Jenny Tetlock Has Died. Our Thoughts Are With Her Family

Jenny Tetlock, who was paralysed after having a Gardasil vaccination, died on the 15 March 2009, aged 15 years.

Her parents wrote on their blog:

'Our beloved Jenny died yesterday afternoon, holding her parents' hands, surrounded by love. '

Another Vaccine Blunder!

Nearly 200 babies and toddlers in Kirkby have been asked to come in and have their vaccinations AGAIN because it was discovered that the vaccines weren't being stored at the correct temperature, which doctors say renders them ineffective. (No mention was made as to the side-effects from this. Doctors say it is not harmful, but they don't say how they know this).

Letters have been sent out to all the parents explaining what has happened and asking them to bring their babies back for 'free jabs'.

What with this and the latest Meningitis C vaccine scandal, I am so glad my children were never part of the national vaccination programme. If they had been, I would have been so furious at the potiential side-effects, neglience from the doctors at not following basic safety protocol, and the trauma of putting my babies through pain and distress for NOTHING, that the LAST thing I would do is take them in for round two!

The story of the Kirby Babies vaccine blunder is on chad.co.uk, dated 4 March 2009.
