Hawaii H1N1 Resolution Advances Vaccination Exemptions Favoring Americans'
Growing Demand for Health Freedoms

Hilo, HI--Department of Health officials in Hawaii were overruled by County
of Hawaii directors supporting a resolution favoring First Amendment
constitutional rights and vaccination exemptions for everyone demanding
them.

The nearly unanimous 7-1 Big Island of Hawaii Council vote sent a strong
message to State and Federal policy makers to consider a majority of people
who solidly distrust risky vaccines in general, and health officials' claims
of safety regarding H1N1 vaccines in particular.

The vote demonstrated the power of local community activists to rebuke "top
down" policies advancing "mandatory" vaccinations during declared
emergencies. The Council's decision backed the majority of people unwilling
to lose health freedoms to Federal governors directing State health
officials on behalf of BigPharma special interests.

The Resolution (237-09) urges State and Federal legislators in Hawaii "to
amend vaccine laws to include medical, religious, and philosophical
exemptions from any vaccine program," including those declared urgent by
health officials.

Proponents declared this a victory for health freedom--a warning to health
officials seeking mandatory vaccination authorizations under Federal
"national emergency" codes that expand State health official powers under
the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act.

The vote reflects a nationwide trend of increasing public distrust of
official proclamations of vaccination safety and efficacy. A solid majority
of medical doctors, and nearly 70% of parents polled by Consumer Reports,
feared the new vaccines and were determined not to recommend them.

After exhaustive research conducted by Council researchers and attorneys,
and many drafts, the Resolution stated, "there is insufficient scientific
evidence proving that vaccines are safe or effective, therefore it is not in
the best interest of public health to recommend vaccinations without
exemptions."
