- They are bound and determined to give us this vaccination.
On the left of the page click on "New! Smallpox provisions hidden
in homeland security bill 11/13/02" to see the alert!
-
- The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)
is urging Members of Congress to eliminate the section of the new Homeland
Security Bill that would give the HHS Secretary virtually unlimited powers
to declare an emergency and order smallpox treatment that could include
forced immunizations and quarantines.
-
- The 480-page bill, HR 5710 hits the floor of the House
tonight, even though most Members haven't had a chance to read it yet.
Section 304, Subsection C is titled "Administration of counter measures
against smallpox."
-
- It gives the Secretary of HHS these unchecked powers
(pg. 76):
-
- Declare an actual or POTENTIAL bio-terrorist or other
kind of incident
- He can administer "countermeasures" to a category
of individuals or everyone
- He can continually extend the declare the declaration
without Congress's consent
- Also, if you are harmed, you cannot sue or take any other
civil remedy.
-
- "This section will give the Secretary unlimited
power to define a real or potential threat, to take any measures he decides,
and to do it for as long as he wants," said Kathryn Serkes, AAPS spokeswoman.
"It's Alice in Wonderland time again - an emergency is just what he
says it is."
-
- Serkes also points out that the section echoes the Model
State Emergency Health Powers Act that most state legislatures defeated
this past year. "Just remove 'governor' from the old bill and insert
'Secretary' and magically you have a federal bill that was firmly rejected
by voters across the country," said Serkes.
-
- AAPS sent out thousands of email alerts urging voters
to ask that the section be removed.
-
- "Just what are the 'counter measures' allowed?"
Forced immunizations? Quarantines? It's not clear, but the powers seem
virtually unchecked by any other agency," said Serkes. "We need
an honest accounting of how this will work. It's too frightening to allow
it to be rammed through."
-
- AAPS has repeatedly applauded the President's movement
toward an advance, voluntary immunization to head off forced vaccines following
an attack.
