Please click on the link to go to the Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom’s website. It takes you to the letter that you can sign you name and send easily.

Also go to the Bar Watch website listed below and sign the petition.

PLEASE HELP. We need all hands on deck to help save attorney Alan Phillips, one of the few exemptions attorneys in the country. We cannot stress how important it is to help this attorney. If we lose the few attorneys willing to stand up for truth, then we could all lose. Alan has given so much to help people. He is being investigated with a “fishing” request for all of his clients’ files by the NC board, so they can search to find any kind of wrongdoing to catch him even though there are no charges. The board does not have any wrongdoing charges against him at this time, but it seems they are looking to find to get him on. This is somewhat similar to what happened with Dr. Sears and the California board. Alan, and others, have filed complaints against the NC board. That means the board needs to have an independent investigation since it is a conflict to investigate someone who has filed a complaint against them. The NC board is refusing to have an independent outside investigation done. It appears they don’t want any outsider looking into their actions.

Please click the link from the Ohio group, and sign the letter being sent to complain about the board’s actions and demand an independent review. It is so easy, just your name and click. The letter is already written out for you. Also here are the phone numbers of agencies to call and request an independent review of this matter. This contact information is also found when you click the link below  

Please call the three numbers listed below. Talking points can be found in the link listed, but here is a brief synopsis of the listed points to say when you call:

“For at least the past two years, and after an inability to identify any evidence of wrongdoing, the Bar has filed a lawsuit against Mr. Phillips in a fishing expedition to get client files and somehow justify their otherwise unjustified pursuit of Mr. Phillips’ license to practice law. My understanding is that Mr. Phillips has filed several complaints, requesting that an independent review look into the State Bar’s actions in this matter. The board has failed to address those complaints. I respectfully request that you immediately pursue an independent review of the Bar’s actions in this matter, and withdraw the lawsuit against Mr. Phillips until such review is complete as it seems that the board is harassing due to his specialty.”

Indiana for Medical Freedom would like to address the recent statement posted by Congresswoman Susan Brooks who is part of the committee that held a hearing on Feb 27 titled “Confronting a Growing Public Health Threat: Measles Outbreaks in the U.S.”

“Measles is a highly contagious, airborne virus that can lead to serious respiratory illnesses and can become life-threatening. Just this year, there have been reports of 127 individual measles cases throughout 10 states. In 2018, the United States had 17 outbreaks with a total of 372 measles cases. Indiana has been fortunate and has not had any cases reported this year, but  still run the risk of being exposed to such a disease. Measles vaccines have saved more than 20 million lives throughout the world since 2000. This morning, I’m participating in a  hearing at focusing on measles outbreaks in our country.

Watch the hearing live >> 

Check out this  article to learn more about measles, outbreaks & how to better protect you, your family & others >> #”

During the hearing, Dr. Anthony Fauci, lied to the committee members with his statement that the MMR vaccine cannot cause brain inflammation, encephalitis, when questioned by the Kentucky congressman.  His colleague quickly corrected him, after the audience groaned in disbelief, to say that the measles vaccine can cause brain encephalitis but very rarely. She said talk to your physician about whether your child is at risk for a vaccine reaction as the solution. How many convention pediatricians screen all their child patients to determine if the child will have an adverse reaction to a vaccine??? HOW MANY? Has your conventional pediatrician ever done testing to determine if your day-old infant is going to have a bad reaction to the Hepatitis B vaccine due to an underlying genetic or medical condition? Pediatricians are not screening kids to see if they are at risk for vaccine injury. That is NOT happening even though it was claimed to be happening by a witness at the hearing.

What is happening is a slew of vaccine injured children around the world. Cases where the parents are told that “some kids are just delayed” even though the child clearly had a regression of skills versus a delay. Or parents are told that their normal healthy child that suddenly regressed after a round of vaccines was just born that way and the parents never noticed it before. 

Here is a link to the MMR vaccine insert with the listed side effects:

In case Congresswoman Brooks is unfamiliar with vaccine injuries, here is a link to the vaccine adverse episode reporting system.  Through the vaccine injury compensation fund, the government has paid out over $4 billion dollars in tax payor funded monies to compensate those who were injured or killed by vaccines. For those with children killed by vaccines, the maximum payout is $250,000 (then subtract your attorney fees for the years and years of long fighting it takes to get that payment). Is your child’s life only worth $250,000? Apparently, the US government thinks so.

Here is a list of the injuries filed in the past few months dated in December, 2018. There are several listed injuries of paralysis caused by vaccines such as transverse myelitis (TM).

VAERS-

In fact, the government holds so little value on your and your children’s lives, that Congress passed the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Safety Act
(there’s nothing safe about it) This law gives full immunity to the big pharma companies that make vaccines from any damage the vaccines cause. If the vaccines are so SAFE AND EFFECTIVE as stated over and over, then why did the vaccine makers demand immunity from lawsuits over vaccine injury? It was because so many people were being harmed by vaccines and suing, that the pharma companies said unless they were shielded from future lawsuits by the government, they would have to stop making vaccines. Since that law was enacted, we cannot hold vaccine makers liable for their vaccine injuries. Vaccines are not classified as drugs and do not receive the same rigorous safety testing as drugs. They are liability free products with little safety testing. Congress has failed to do any vaccine safety studies in over 30 years. The law requires them to do annual safety tests, and through a freedom of information act request, it was discovered they have never done one safety study. All they do is help promote the scientifically unsupported mantra of “SAFE AND EFFECTIVE”.

VACCINES ARE NOT SAFE, and their efficacy is in question in a current lawsuit due to accusations of scientific fraud brought forward by a whistleblower.

BUT the adverse reactions to vaccines are very rare right??? The MMR insert clearly states that encephalitis is reported approximately once for every 3 million doses of the MMR vaccine. That does sound rare. Except that the British Medical Journal has an article stating that less than 1% of adverse reactions to vaccines are reported.  That means that 99% of adverse reactions to vaccine are not reported. Many medical professions just won’t report vaccine reactions.

How about the picture CNN posted of the baby with a
vaccine reaction rash that they tried to use to scare parents of what a baby with a horrible measles rash looks like. This poor baby did not have measles, the unnecessary suffering was caused by vaccination.

Then there is the case of the CDC whistleblower, Dr. William Thompson. In 2015, Dr. Thompson was recorded stating that he and the rest of his CDC team took part in scientific fraud regarding the MMR vaccine and autism. The team got to together and threw data in the trash that showed an increased in autism in children after receiving the MMR vaccine. The increase was very statistically significant with the highest rate occurring among African American boys. Here is a link to the 10,000 documents that Dr. Thompson has issued to Congress to back up his claims. He has official whistleblower status under the law. Only Congress can supeona him under the law, and Congress has refused to hear his testimony.

Susan Brooks, as a member of Congress, why do you feel it’s important to only hear from pro-pharma witnesses who lie to you, but REFUSE to hear testimony from a CDC scientist who has evidence that the government covered up the vaccine-autism connection? The rates of autism are skyrocketing at epidemic proportions. Why do you feel 127 cases of measles in a county of about 325,000,000 people is more important than hearing a CDC scientist who could possibly stop autism with his evidence??? The rate of autism is now 1 in 36 kids. 1 in 20 kids under the age of 5 have a seizure disorder, a side effect listed on the vaccine inserts.  Is that not more concerning to you? 1 in 36 kids will have a lifelong disability that often renders them unable to care for themselves as adults, but 127 measles cases with no deaths and full recovery of those who caught it is your national emergency!!!  At what point does common sense become common again?

Maybe when Congress will take action to repeal the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Safety Act and return liability for unsafe products to the vaccine makers. As it stands now, the government seems to be doing anything to avoid allowing the link between vaccines and injuries to be exposed. The tax payors don’t have enough money to fund the additional BILLIONS it would take to pay for people stricken with injuries from vaccines.

This is too expensive for the truth to be allowed to come out, UNLESS Congress will put the liability back on ultra-rich pharmaceutical companies who could afford to pick up the tab of vaccine induced brain damage. And maybe, just maybe if pharmaceutical companies were held liable for their unsafe vaccines, they would have an incentive to make vaccines that didn’t harm babies and little kids. Although if VIOXX is any indication of how they continue to do business, I wouldn’t hold your breath on that.

Dr. Thompson has yet to get his day in court due to inaction of Congress, but we do have the information about Dr. Zimmerman, a well-respected neurologist. See the quote from Sheryl Atkinson’s story she did including Dr. Zimmerman’s case.

“Dr. Zimmerman the government’s top expert witness and had testified that vaccines didn’t cause autism. The debate was declared over…..But now Dr. Zimmerman has provided remarkable new information. He claims that during the vaccine hearings all those years ago, he privately told government lawyers that vaccines can and did cause autism in some children. That turnabout from the government’s own chief medical expert stood to change everything about the vaccine-autism debate”

If pharmaceutical companies have so much extra money sitting around that they can afford to donate hundreds of thousands to politicians, maybe it’s time to give liability for vaccine injury back to those companies. They seem like they can afford to pay compensation.

This morning, Indiana For Medical Freedom was contacted by Amanda Mueller from with the following:

(For privacy reasons we have blocked out personal details)

Here is our response:

CDC states that the majority of cases were in non-vaccinated individuals, but the CDC report does not include the evidence to support that statement. It is unknown if these individuals were partially vaccinated, if the strains that were imported from other countries are even included in the vaccine we offer here in the United States, etc.

We question the severity of each of the cases. If mild, a vaccine was not needed since these individuals acquired safe, natural, lifelong immunity. In those who were fully-vaccinated, their vaccine failed them which has nothing to do with vaccine choice and everything to do with vaccine efficacy.

Since 2010, Merck has been ensnarled in an ongoing Federal Anti-trust lawsuit for lying about the efficacy of the Mumps component of the MMR vaccine. The vaccine has remained on the market during these 8 years.  ()

There is also a head scientist at CDC blowing the whistle on falsified safety reports during the 2004 MMR Autism study. His name is Dr. William Thompson, he has protected whistleblower status, and he is still employed by CDC now.

Here is a C-SPAN video of U.S. Congressman William Posey, FL imploring Congress for an investigation into CDC in 2015, yet still nothing has been done:

All 100,000 documents turned over by Dr. Thompson can be requested by contacting the office of Congressman Posey.

In addition, there are 13 CDC whistleblowers, calling themselves CDC SPIDER, who claim CDC can no longer be trusted to act in the best interest of public health. From their letter, “These questionable and unethical practices threaten to undermine our
credibility and reputation as a trusted leader in public health.”

You can read their letter to CDC Chief of Staff here:

Here is a Huffington Post article discussing their letter:

For the 5th year in a row, members of our group (along with concerned citizens from other states and even other countries) will rally outside CDC headquarters in Atlanta on October 10, 2018 to demand truth and transparency. All are welcome to join.

Finally, just last month, HHS admitted (through a lawsuit over a FOIA request) that they have neglected to file a single vaccine safety report in 32 years, as required of them by Congress in 1986 when liability immunity was granted to all vaccine manufacturers.

This lawsuit was represented by Robert F Kennedy Jr, who earlier this week made national headlines for his Monsanto Cancer trial victory.

Since CDC is not transparent with measles case outcomes in the US, we cannot compare the risk of death or permanent injury from a measles infection with the risk of death or permanent injury from the MMR/MMRV vaccines. Parents would like to know this information so they can make a true risk/benefit analysis. All we can find is 1 US measles-related death since 2003 and VAERS data showing 90 US deaths from the MMR/MMRV vaccines during the same time period.

Nothing in medicine is one-size-fits-all and every parent and individual is doing what is safest for their own family. Indiana For Medical Freedom respects the right for each family to weigh their own risks and benefits and to make their own choices for every medical procedure, including vaccination.

Until CDC can be transparent and offer evidence to support the statements they make, this statement (in its entirety) will be our only comment.

***Update:

Ms. Mueller/Eyewitness News have published their article, which can be viewed . (Screenshots below) Take notice that only ONE case of measles has been reported in the state of Indiana in the last 7 months and the ISDH admits it is not connected to any outbreak. The media continues to play a part in the fear mongering by including Indiana in a list of 21 states “included in the outbreak” when the truth is, our own Health Department admits the single case has nothing to do with the outbreak. When will fair, unbiased reporting become something We The People can depend on?

***8/16/2018 update:

CDC issued a correction to the public regarding the media who have been proclaiming all over the country that there is a measles outbreak. Evidently the media was a little premature and presumptive on their reporting and in fact there is NO outbreak whatsoever. I wonder how much money MMR manufacturer Merck has made on MMR sales during this false-alarm reporting period?….. 

Shout out to from Indianapolis-based WishTV for covering House Bill 1058 and including our concerns. You can see our public statement regarding this House bill here.

In his , Williams discussed Representative Ron Bacon’s reasoning for why the bill is needed, citing 100 Central Indiana deaths from the flu during this flu season. What Representative Bacon did not reference was how many of those who died had actually been vaccinated this year for the flu. He also did not indicate how many of the individuals had co-morbid conditions that contributed to the deaths. All loss of life is tragic! Which is why we are concerned about this bill mandating advertisements for the flu vaccine; a vaccine that,  is only 10% effective but responsible for from all available vaccines. The flu shot alone has , making it the most dangerous vaccine on the market. With a failure rate of 90%, we are concerned that House Bill 1058 will push assisted living residents into getting the vaccine without weighing their risk to benefit ratio.

Representative Bacon also was either mistaken or intentionally misinforming the public when he said nursing homes require all residents to be vaccinated unless they have a religious objection. We have scoured the Indiana Code and can find no such law on the books. The aging population still retain their right to informed consent and absolutely may deny ANY medical procedure they do not wish to partake in, including the flu vaccine.

Our concerns with this bill have increased over the last few days as we have continued to research. One of our volunteers had this to say:

“I believe they’re doing this to get Medicaid and Medicare money. In March 2017 the CDC and CMS made a ruling that ALL residents and workers in long-term facilities be vaccinated. In regard to the residents, they want to be able to do this via “standing orders,” meaning they just automatically get the shot without having to see a doctor or be asked if they will take the shot. However, they can’t do that without “informed consent.” But they CAN do it if they inform the residents, or their representatives, about the policy upon entrance into the facility — even if the resident or representative hasn’t signed a thing permitting it: “Informed consent is required to implement a standing order for vaccination, but this does not necessarily mean a signed consent must be present.” Once the residents have been “educated” on this, they can now go forward with flu shots automatically, kind of like when a pediatrician leaves standing orders on kids’ charts that they get vaccinated at the recommended times (when the nurse just automatically shows up with the shots lined up and ready). I’m guessing that so far, Indiana has been having to ask residents if they want the shot, and of course some are turning it down. With this law all they have to do is inform them of the “policy” and they can make it a standing order — which, by nature of the CDC recommendation that ALL residents be vaccinated — means you’re going to have to put up quite a fight to not get a shot after this bill becomes law. ;

This echoes our concern that many residents suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s and do not know whether or not they’ve already consented to the vaccine. Since they are able to go to any pharmacy and receive a flu shot without a doctors order, many are receiving more than one flu shot per year. Another volunteer shared this with us:

“My grandmother got 2 flu shots this year. She got one at the Dr then she went to Wal-Mart and got one. Then she said, ‘Wait, I think I already got one.’ The nurses all laughed. My mom told me that she ‘just forgot’ she had already gotten one. The nurses responded by saying, ‘Oh, it won’t hurt her.'”

We disagree. The nearly $2 Billion paid out to individuals who suffered flu vaccine injuries or deaths indicate otherwise.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO?

1. Call your State Senator and tell them to vote NO on HB 1058. You can find your State Senator . Once you know their name, call (317) 232-9400 and ask to leave a message for them telling them that as their constituent you do not support House Bill 1058 and urge them to vote NO on this unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars.

2. Send an email to all 50 Senators stating your concerns. Copy the first email block into the TO field of your email and the 2nd block into the CC field of your email so that all 50 Senators will receive the email at once.

3. Share a link to this blog post or  with your friends and family and ask them to do the same. We don’t know when this bill will come before the Senate, but it’s likely to be early next week (Feb 26-28, 2018). Please make your calls and send your emails ASAP. If we flood their phone lines and emails with opposition, they will be forced to reconsider this use of taxpayer dollars to advertise a for-profit product with failing efficacy and high rates of death and injury.

As always, thank you to our concerned and vigilant followers for helping us protect our most vulnerable citizens from predatory industry interests. We could not do it without the thousands of supporters like you who follow us so closely and rally behind these just causes!

WishTV’s story can be found here:

HB1058 is an unnecessary bill with lots of opposition in the House (narrowly passed 51 to 45).

The bill mandates the use of taxpayer dollars to advertise a liability-free, for-profit vaccine. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, this year’s flu vaccine is less than 10% effective, meaning it fails 90% of the time. It is also the most dangerous vaccine, accounting for 53% of all vaccine injury and death payouts in Vaccine Court (almost $2 Billion for the flu vaccine alone). Senator Charbonneau and the bill’s author, Representative Bacon, insist this bill is not about the vaccine, yet the information they want to distribute is the CDC’s Vaccine Information Sheet. This is absolutely about vaccine uptake, especially in a year where the public is losing faith in the flu vaccine. Our elderly community is already over-inundated by flu shot advertisements on every pharmacy billboard and in the nightly news. They should get their medical advice from their doctors, not their landlord at the assisted living facility. And let us not be so arrogant as to believe these intelligent, elderly residents are clueless about the flu itself. They’ve lived through countless flu seasons and know what influenza is. What this bill is mandating is flu shot advertisements and we do not believe taxpayer dollars should be spent when the multibillion dollar Pharma industry can afford their own ads. Our lawmakers are the stop-gap between their constituents and industry. It’s unfortunate the Senate Health and Provider Services committee members chose to ignore the facts today in favor of a bill that will line the pockets of their campaign donors.

Updated: 1/15/18 12:50 pm

We were incorrect about the intended audience of HB 1058. The digest of the bill states “public housing assistance”, but the Fiscal Report indicates this law would target “residential care facilities”, meaning the sick and the elderly, which is WORSE! We’ve updated the letter included in this action alert. If you’ve already sent your emails, you can either re-send and let them have it, for targeting this susceptible population, or leave it as it is.

Calling All Concerned Citizens!

Please Take ACTION Today!

Tomorrow, January 16, 2018 at 1:30 pm our Indiana House of Representatives will be voting on HB 1058. This bill will provide FREE advertising for the Pharmaceutical Industry for Flu Vaccines for Indiana residents that are receiving housing assistance (Section 8).

Indiana For Medical Freedom opposes this bill for the following reasons:

• This is State sanctioned FREE advertising for vaccine manufacturers, for a FOR PROFIT, LIABILITY FREE product.
• The Flu Vaccine has the worst efficacy rate ( 10% Effective) of ALL vaccines available.
• The Flu Vaccine is the MOST dangerous vaccine, responsible for more that HALF of all claims and compensation in Federal Vaccine “Court” for injury and death.
• It is an unnecessary law. Flu and Flu vaccine information has totally saturated our grocery store parking lots, pharmacies, clinics, TV commercials and media outlets.
• In NO WAY should our Indiana General Assembly seek to target a susceptible population. NO ONE should EVER receive a vaccination while sick, if they’re without their faculties and unable to make an informed decision.

Action Items

To Live In a Free and Democratic Society, Vigilant Citizenry Is REQUIRED.

Indiana For Medical Freedom thanks you for your immediate attention to this matter.

After a recent scathing (originally incorrect but later corrected) article was posted by Evansville’s Courier & Press (found ) we determined that we have to get a handle on the misinformation that’s coming from our media. Just look at this screen capture from the original article!

Thimerosol in the MMR? Thimerosol, a mercury-derived preservative, has never and could never be in a live virus vaccine such as the MMR! It would kill the live virus. Any journalist that wants to jump into “the ridiculous vaccine debate” better make very sure that they fact-check to be able to compete with informed parents. A few Indiana For Medical Freedom parents took time out of their day to correct him.

The writer did correct his article and did reply to one parent and said the following:

VICTORY!!! Except his article still makes SB18 sound unnecessary and ridiculous, which it isn’t. Take a look at all of these pages of Indiana Schools coercing, threatening and bullying parents. Our activists took these to the Statehouse to lobby for the bill in question and they’re responsible for getting the bill proposed. 

Indiana Schools, as it pertains to vaccination, are overseen by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDOH). These schools are operating outside of the law by only making parents aware of the the first part of the law and not including the 2nd part of the law where exemptions are explained. This information is rarely made known to parents.  Indiana For Medical Freedom, a few State Senators, and countless private citizens have made multiple attempts to contact the ISDOH, to no avail. We have been ignored by ISDOH regarding this matter and so we felt that legislation was necessary. SB18 requires schools to provide written notice at registration that parents are entitled to exemptions from vaccination. See the bill 

For this reason, we are asking you to join us in a social media storm to call attention to rampant misinformation that’s being spread by the willfully ignorant media; media who are more concerned about advertising dollars from Pharma than they are about the health and safety of our children.

There is a story here that journalist Jon Webb is refusing to cover. Instead, he has chosen to help the ISDOH to further hide the truth of the law from confused and misinformed parents. How many of us have children who were harmed by vaccines BECAUSE we were told that vaccines are required for school, and because we didn’t know we had a choice? That’s the first thing parents who are questioning vaccines ask… “But how do I send my kids to school?” The public does not know about vaccine exemptions. We NEED Senator Charbonneau to call a hearing for this bill so that we can give our testimony and let the legislature know that PARENTS NEED INFORMED CONSENT! By joining our social media storm you can show our legislators how many people in Indiana support Informed Consent and WANT this bill. As always, please be respectful in your correspondence.
