Cops jump on swine-flu power: Shots
heard 'round the world
Pandemic bill allows health
authorities to enter homes, detain without
warrant
September 01, 2009 by Chelsea Schilling
(c) 2009 WorldNetDaily
A "pandemic response bill" currently making its way
through the
Massachusetts state legislature would allow
authorities to forcefully
quarantine citizens in the event of a health
emergency, compel health
providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful
entry into private
dwellings and destruction of citizen property and
impose fines on citizens
for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or
quarantine orders in the
event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned
for up to 30 days and
fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.
Massachusetts' pandemic response bill
"Pandemic Response Bill" 2028
<http://www.mass.gov/legis/bills/senate/186/st02pdf/st02028.pdf>
was passed
by the Massachusetts state Senate on April 28 and is
now awaiting approval
in the House.
As stated in the bill, upon declaration by the
governor that an emergency
exists that is considered detrimental to public health
or upon declaration
of a state of emergency, a local public health
authority, with approval of
the commissioner, may exercise the following
authorities (emphasis added):
* to require the owner or occupier of premises to
permit entry into
and investigation of the premises;
* to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or
to decontaminate
or cause to be decontaminated any building or
facility, and to allow the
reopening of the building or facility when the danger
has ended;
* to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or
to destroy any
material;
* to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
* to require a health care facility to provide
services or the use of
its facility, or to transfer the management
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
and supervision
of the health care facility to the department or to a
local public health
authority;
* to control ingress to and egress from any stricken
or threatened
public area, and the movement of persons and materials
within the area;
* to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the
safe disposal of
infectious waste and human remains, provided that
religious, cultural,
family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person
shall be followed to
the extent possible when disposing of human remains,
whenever that may be
done without endangering the public health;
* to procure, take immediate possession from any
source, store, or
distribute any anti-toxins
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
, serums,
vaccines, immunizing agents, antibiotics, and other
pharmaceutical agents or
medical supplies located within the commonwealth as
may be necessary to
respond to the emergency;
* to require in-state health care providers to assist
in the
performance <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
of
vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any
individual as a
condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability
to continue to
function as a health care provider in the
commonwealth;
* to waive the commonwealth's licensing requirements
for health care
professionals with a valid license from another state
in the United States
or whose professional training would otherwise qualify
them for an
appropriate professional license in the commonwealth;
* to allow for the dispensing of controlled substance
by appropriate
personnel consistent with federal statutes as
necessary for the prevention
or treatment of illness
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
;
* to authorize the chief medical examiner to appoint
and prescribe the
duties of such emergency assistant medical examiners
as may be required for
the proper performance of the duties of office;
* to collect specimens and perform tests on any
animal, living or
deceased;
* to exercise authority under sections 95
<http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/111-95.htm>
and 96
<http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/111-96.htm>
of chapter 111;
* to care for any emerging mental health or crisis
counseling needs
that individuals may exhibit, with the consent of the
individuals
State and local agencies responding to the public
health emergency would be
required to exercise their powers over transportation
routes, communication
devices <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
,
carriers, public utilities, fuels, food, clothing and
shelter, according to
the legislation.

The Most Frightening
Issues You Will Face This Century"

_ID=1873>
Local public health authorities will be required to
keep records of reports
containing the name and location of all people who
have been reported, their
disease, injury, or health condition and the name of
the person reporting
the case. In addition, citizens may be subject to
"involuntary
transportation."
Line 341 of the bill states, "Law enforcement
authorities, upon order of the
commissioner or his agent or at the request of a local
public health
authority pursuant to such order, shall assist
emergency medical technicians
or other appropriate medical personnel in the
involuntary transportation of
such person to the tuberculosis treatment center. No
law enforcement
authority or medical personnel shall be held
criminally or civilly liable as
a result of an act or omission carried out in good
faith in reliance on said
order."
Vaccinate or isolate
Whenever the commissioner or a public-health authority
decides it is
necessary to prevent a serious danger to the public
health, they are
authorized:
(1) to vaccinate or provide precautionary prophylaxis
(preventative
procedure) to individuals as protection against
communicable disease and to
prevent the spread of communicable or possible
communicable disease,
provided that any vaccine
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
to be
administered must not be such as is reasonably likely
to lead to serious
harm to the affected individual; and
(2) to treat individuals exposed to or infected with
disease,
provided that treatment must not be such as is
reasonably likely to lead to
serious harm to the affected individual. An individual
who is unable or
unwilling to submit to vaccination or treatment shall
not be required to
submit to such procedures but may be isolated or
quarantined ... if his or
her refusal poses a serious danger to public health or
results in
uncertainty whether he or she has been exposed to or
is infected with a
disease or condition that poses a serious danger to
public health, as
determined by the commissioner, or a local public
health authority operating
within its jurisdiction. (emphasis added)
Under such circumstances, authorities are also allowed
to decontaminate
individuals and perform physical examinations, tests
and specimen collection
to determine whether "an individual presents a risk to
public health." If a
citizen refuses, he or she may be isolated,
quarantined and/or detained "for
as long as may be reasonably necessary," the bill
states.
Law enforcement authorities are authorized to "arrest
without warrant any
person whom the officer has probable cause to believe
has violated an order
for isolation or quarantine and shall use reasonable
diligence to enforce
such order. Any person who knowingly violates an order
for isolation or
quarantine shall be punished by imprisonment of not
more than 30 days and
may be subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000
per day that the
violation continues." (emphasis added)
Other state quarantine orders
As WND reported <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108548>
,
a blank document from the Iowa Department of Public
Health has been
discovered online, designed to be filled in with the
name of an H1N1 virus
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
victim who is
required to relocate from his or her home to a
quarantine facility.
The form, which began appearing Aug 31 in e-mails and
on the Internet
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
, has concerned a
confused public already swimming in conflicting
reports about the severity
of the swine flu and intrusive government measures
that many fear may be
taken if the disease becomes a pandemic.
The Iowa document, which WND confirmed with state
officials is authentic,
has done little to calm the public's fears.
"The Iowa Department of Public Health has determined
that you have had
contact with a person with Novel Influenza A H1N1,"
the form reads. "The
Department has determined that it is necessary to
quarantine your movement
to a specific facility to prevent further spread of
this disease.
"The Department has determined that quarantine in your
home and other less
restrictive alternatives are not acceptable," the
document continues, before
listing mandatory provisions of compliance
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
with relocation
to a quarantine facility.
According to the CDC, the following states have
implemented legal actions in
response to the H1N1 virus:
Florida - the Florida surgeon general suspended
distribution permit
requirements Florida statutes to allow wholesale
distribution of Tamiflu and
Relenza. The state has also distributed a series of
blank quarantine order
forms, including a voluntary home quarantine agreement

.
North Carolina - The North Carolina Department of
Health and Human Services
released a draft isolation order
<http://www2a.cdc.gov/phlp/docs/Isolation%20Order%20v3.pdf>
that would
provide for imprisonment for up to two years and
pretrial detention without
bail for any citizen who fails to comply with an
isolation order.
Washington - Washington grants authority to local
health officers to issue
emergency detention orders
<http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=246-100-040>
causing citizens
to be immediately and involuntarily isolated or
quarantined for up to 10
days.
In addition, governors and health commissioners in the
following states have
declared a state of emergency since April following
concerns about the H1N1
virus: California, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Nebraska,
New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Next step: Mandatory swine flu vaccines?
According to the White House, "Since the novel
2009-H1N1 flu virus emerged
in the United States during the third week of April,
the president has
received regular briefings and asked his Cabinet to
spare no effort in
addressing this national security challenge."
The White House also lists as a priority, "Preparing
for a voluntary, but
strongly recommended, H1N1 flu shot program to be
available to all Americans
that wish to participate over a period of time."
Barbara Loe Fischer, president of the National Vaccine
Information Center
<http://www.nvic.org/>
, referenced the controversial Massachusetts bill in
her commentary, "Swine flu vaccine: Will we have a
choice?
<http://www.nvic.org/NVIC-Vaccine-News/June-2009/Swine-Flu-Vaccine--Will-We-
Have-A-Choice--by-Barba.aspx> "
Fischer said, "Public health doctors have persuaded
legislators to pass
pandemic influenza legislation that will allow state
officials to enter
homes and businesses without the consent of occupants,
to investigate and
quarantine individuals without their consent, to
require licensed
health-care providers to give citizens vaccines and to
ban the free assembly
of citizens in the state."
She said World Health Organization doctors
"immediately went into high gear"
within days of identifying the new swine flu virus
emerging out of Mexico
and declared a public-health emergency. Now, Fischer
says, the CDC is taking
the opportunity to exercise unprecedented power.
"Whenever the CDC now declares a public-health
emergency, that declaration
allows the Food and Drug Administration to permit
emergency-use
authorization for drug companies to fast-track
creation of experimental
drugs and vaccines that do not have to be tested as
thoroughly as vaccines
that go through the normal FDA-licensing process.
"In this case, Congress responded to the public health
emergency declaration
by giving a group of drug companies $1 billion to
fast-track experimental
swine flu vaccines that may include whole, live or
killed, or genetically
engineered human and animal viruses, chemicals and
potentially reactive
oil-based adjuvants that manipulate the immune system
to boost the vaccine's
potency. People who already have sensitive immune
systems, such as those
with allergy and autoimmune disorders, may be at
special risk."
Furthermore, Fischer said 80 percent of all flu-like
illness in a normal flu
season is not caused by type A and B strains of
influenza contained in
annual flu shots.
While Fischer argues that citizens should be given the
opportunity to
voluntarily submit to flu vaccinations, she said,
"Vaccine-acquired immunity
is temporary while immunity gained after recovering
from influenza is longer
lasting."
She said people born before 1957 may be naturally
protected and at lower
risk of being infected because they have long-lasting
antibodies working
against the virus and helping them resist infection.
"Will health officials allow our children and
grandchildren to get the same
kind of natural, longer-lasting protective antibodies
to type A and B
influenza, including the new swine flu?" she asked.
"It looks like few
choices will be allowed."
Cure more deadly than disease?
Although White House science advisers have warned that
up to 90,000
Americans might die from H1N1 during the coming flu
season, the head of the
CDC responded by telling the public to ignore such a
high mortality
estimate, saying the current H1N1 couldn't kill that
many people without
mutating.
Use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United
States in 1976 resulted in
25 people suffering from severe paralysis
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=108604>
and dying from
respiratory failure after being injected with the
vaccine - more than the
number of lives claimed from the virus itself.
Additionally, the vaccine is said to contain
thimerosal, a preservative
ingredient composed of mercury.
The FDA states
<http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/
UCM096228> , "Thimerosal has been removed from or
reduced to trace amounts
in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6
years of age and
younger, with the exception of inactivated influenza
vaccine."
Thimerosal has been linked to Guillain-Barre syndrome,
or GBS - a serious
disorder that occurs when the body's immune system
mistakenly attacks the
nervous system and may result in death.
In 1976, health officials found nearly 500 cases of
GBS, and the vaccine was
withdrawn 10 weeks after the link with GBS was
suspected. Following the 1976
vaccination against swine flu in the U.S., a
retrospective study found a
likely eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS.
Now that the nation is preparing for another round of
H1N1 flu shots, the
Oregonian reported that the federal government is
urging neurologists to
keep a close watch for new cases of GBS.
In a study conducted at the University of Hong Kong,
the British Medical
Journal reported that less than half of 8,500 doctors
and nurses in public
hospitals will accept vaccination against the swine
flu - even following
increases in the World Health Organization's pandemic
alert level.
The study revealed, "The major barriers identified
were fear of side effects
and doubts about efficacy."
According to the following London report,
investigative journalist Wayne
Madsen revealed that even scientists who helped
develop a vaccine for small
pox are saying they will not take the vaccine and
urging friends and family
to refrain from taking the injection as well:
Nonetheless, federal authorities are preparing to
launch a nationwide
campaign to convince Americans to get the swine flu
vaccine, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported. Government officials
have expressed concern
that public demand for immunization will not be high
enough.
"Many parents (in focus groups) expressed a lot of
concerns about 2009 H1N1
vaccine. Those concerns were centered around the fact
that it was new and it
was being developed quickly," said Kris Sheedy, a
communications director
with the National Center for Immunization and
Respiratory Diseases. "There
were comments such as 'this is new and I don't want my
child to be a guinea
pig.'"
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the
government will spend "about
$16 million on outreach to convince people of the need
to get the swine flu
vaccine."
As WND reported <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=106654>
,
alarmist language over possible outbreaks of swine flu
as well as a series
of moves by the federal government are fueling fears
federal agents will
soon be forcing citizens to be vaccinated - prompting
the Constitution Party
to launch a pre-emptive defense against any such
effort.
Fischer warned that Americans must become educated
about vaccination,
influenza, vaccine risks and public health laws in
their states.
"Every pharmaceutical drug, including vaccines,
carries a risk. And those
risks are greater for some than others," she said. "In
this time of fear, we
can't let that fear take away our freedom to make
voluntary health
decisions. The human right to informed consent to
medical risk taking gives
citizens the power to make sure that the cure is not
more dangerous than the
disease."

BEFORE THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
_____________________________________________________________________
DIRECTED TO: ) [insert case #] ) [insert full name and
) address of subject
of order] ) HOME QUARANTINE ORDER
_____________________________________________________________________
The
Iowa Department of Public Health (Department) has
determined that you have
had contact with Novel Influenza A H1N1. Novel
Influenza A H1N1 is a disease
which is spread from person to person and is
associated with fever (greater
than 100.0 F), cough, sore throat, rhinorrhea (runny
nose), nasal
congestion, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
Novel Influenza A H1N1
presents a risk of serious harm to public health and
if it spreads in the
community severe public health consequences may
result. The Department has
determined that home quarantine of persons who have
been exposed to Novel
Influenza A H1N1 is necessary to prevent further
spread of this disease. The
Department has determined that quarantine in private
homes is the least
restrictive means necessary to prevent the spread of
Novel Influenza A H1N1.
The Department is therefore ordering you to remain in
your home and to
comply with the following provisions during the entire
period of quarantine:
1. Terms of confinement. You are ordered to remain in
your home at
_____________________[insert address] from ___________
to
____________[insert dates of quarantine]. 2.
Requirements during
confinement. During the period of quarantine:
a. You must not leave your home at any time unless you
have received prior
written authorization from the Department to do so.
b. You must remain reachable by telephone at all times
and answer and
respond fully and truthfully to telephone calls from
Department staff and
other persons acting on behalf of the Department.
c. You must not come into contact with anyone except
the following persons:
(i) family members and other persons who reside in
your home;
(ii) authorized healthcare providers; (iii) authorized
Department staff or
other persons acting on behalf of the Department; and
(iv) such other
persons as are authorized by the Department.
d. If family members or other persons who reside in
your home have not been
issued a Home Quarantine Order, they may leave your

period of confinement. If you live alone, or if every
5/1/2009
member of your household is under Home Quarantine
Order, you should arrange
by telephone for relatives, neighbors, or friends to
assist with any needs
you may have during the period of confinement. These
persons should not have
direct contact with you. If you need assistance in
providing for your daily
needs, you should call [insert telephone number]
e. You must follow the directions contained in the
attachment to this order
labeled Attachment A to monitor your health status on
a daily basis.
f. If you develop any symptoms of Novel Influenza A
H1N1 detailed in
Attachment A, including with fever (greater than 100.0
F), cough, sore
throat, rhinorrhea (runny nose), nasal congestion,
body aches, headache,
chills and fatigue, you should immediately call a
public health official at
[insert telephone number]. If emergency medical
treatment is required for
conditions other than those listed in this paragraph
(e.g. chest pain or
severe accidental injury at home), you should call 911
for an ambulance.
When seeking such assistance, you must inform the
operator of the 911 line
and the ambulance that you are under Home Quarantine
Order.
g. If other persons also reside in your home you must
maintain good personal
hygiene at all times, including complying with the

h. You should inform your employer that you are under
home quarantine and
are not authorized to physically come to the work
place, although you may
work from home via electronic or other means if
appropriate. You should be
aware that Iowa law prohibits an employer from firing,
demoting, or
otherwise discriminating against an employee due to
the employee's
compliance with a quarantine order issued by the
Department. (Iowa Code
section 139A.13A).
3. Information about Novel Influenza A H1N1. You
should review the
information contained at Attachment A for information
about Novel Influenza
A H1N1. In order to find out more information about

============================================================================

- WHO
Admits to Releasing Pandemic Virus into Population
via 'Mock-Up' Vaccines
-
The document on the WHO website linked below
states that it is common procedure to release
pandemic viruses into the population in order to
get a jump ahead of the real pandemic, so as to
fast track the vaccine for when it is needed.
-
- In Europe, some manufacturers have conducted
advance studies using a so-called "mock-up"
vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active
ingredient for an influenza virus that has not
circulated recently in human populations and thus
mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus.
-
- According to the website,
"Such
advance studies can greatly expedite regulatory
approval."
- Sources:
-
World Health Organization
-
Dr.
Mercola's Comments:
- On June 11 the World Health Organization
(WHO) raised its swine flu pandemic alert from a
5 to a 6. Phase 6 is the highest level alert,
and reflects the speed with which a virus is
spreading -- not its severity.
-
- This classification also allows for a
vaccine to qualify for a "fast-track" procedure
for licensing and approval, and this process is
now ongoing for the swine flu vaccine.
-
- What you may not know, however, is that WHO,
together with health officials, regulatory
authorities and vaccine manufacturers, have been
working since 2007 – long before this new
"threat" of swinee flu emerged – to "explore a
broad range of issues surroundding the
regulatory approval of pandemic vaccines."
-
- According to the WHO website:
-
"Ways were
sought to shorten the time between the
emergence of a pandemic virus and the
availability of safe and effective vaccines."
- One such method used in Europe is to conduct
advance studies using a "mock-up"
vaccine that contains an active ingredient for
an influenza virus that has not circulated
recently in human populations.
- When testing these mock-up vaccines, it is
very possible to release the novel influenza
virus into the population, as its purpose is to "mimic
the novelty of a pandemic virus"
and "greatly
expedite regulatory approval."
- Government officials have other tricks up
their sleeves to ensure these new, barely tested
vaccines easily make it to market as well, such
as:
-
Labeling
the vaccine a "strain
change"
rather than an entirely "new"
vaccine. This method states the new vaccine has
built on technology used to produce vaccines for
seasonal influenza, and the change for
the pandemic vaccine is similar to a strain
change used to produce a new seasonal vaccine
each flu season.
-
-
In
the United States, vaccine manufacturers are
required to submit fewer data if they already
have a licensed flu vaccine and will use the
same manufacturing process for the pandemic
vaccine.
- Using a "rolling
review procedure." This
allows manufacturers to submit sets of data for
regulatory review "as
they become available."
In other words, they're
free to distribute the vaccine and then submit
the safety data later on.
-
Would You
Want a Fast-Tracked Vaccine Injected Into Your
Body?
- By very definition, fast-tracked vaccines
are those that have received very little safety
testing prior to being used. So any time you
agree to get one, you are essentially a guinea
pig.
-
- Vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has
actually stated:
- "Clinical trials will be limited, due to
the need to provide the vaccine to governments
as quickly as possible. Additional studies
will therefore be required and conducted after
the vaccine is made available."
- And WHO likewise says:
-
"Time
constraints mean that clinical data at the
time when pandemic vaccines are first
administered will inevitably be limited.
Further testing of safety and effectiveness
will need to take place after administration
of the vaccine has begun."
-
- Why
would anyone who knows the facts sign up for a
vaccine that really needs further safety studies
… but won't
receive them untiil AFTER it's
already been given out? By then it will be too
late.
- So please realize that if you or your child
receive a swine flu vaccine, you will be acting
as a TEST subject.
-
- Remember this vaccine will not be made using
the methods of the past. In order to speed up
the cultivation of the virus and the
manufacturing process, they’re using human
liver cells instead of chicken eggs. Whether
this new procedure is better or worse than the
old method, I can't
say … but it's
never been used before and they have noot had
time to conduct any human testing.
-
- So, it's
a giant game of Russian Roulette that you simply
want to avoid.
- Nearly all of the
vaccines created will also include thimerosal
(mercury), and the
toxic adjuvant squalene, both of
which have been clearly shown to carry
significant health risks.
-
- You should know, too, that vaccine makers
and federal officials have been rendered immune
from lawsuits. Should anything go wrong with
this current vaccine they will
not have to pay a single cent to anyone
!
-
Who
Stands to Benefit From the Swine Flu Pandemic (and
Future Pandemics)?
-
- This is the question you need to ask
yourself when you hear the media dishing out the
latest statistics about the swine flu pandemic.
-
- In the last few days alone, I've
seen major news outlets warning that come flu
season, the swine flu could kill 90,000
Americans and hospitalize 2 million. This sounds
a lot like the fear-mongering that went on
during the
Bird Flu pandemic (that never materialized) back
in 2005.
- Back then scientists and governments were
congratulating themselves for averting a threat
that never was by stockpiling worthless
vaccines. Now I'm
having deja vu.
- In response to this newest swine flu
pandemic, what did the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recently suggest?
-
- Swine flu shots for all! Of course, what
else would you expect?
-
- As the
Washington Post
reported, CDC said: "As
soon as a vaccine is available, try to get it
for everyone in your family."
- Well, you might be tempted to do just that
if you believe the sensational number of swine
flu deaths they're
predicting. But, really, these numbers are not
based on facts.
-
- WHO continues to define the severity of the
H1N1 virus to be moderate, generally defined as
an illness requiring neither hospitalization nor
even medical care. Most cases are having MILD
symptoms that clear up on their own.
-
- Further, no one really knows for sure just
how many cases of swine flu there are, because
some countries are no longer confirming them by
lab.
-
- In
the UK, for example, they now appear to be
collecting swine flu data online and via the
phone, based on nothing but self-assessment.
- So did they really contract the swine flu?
-
- Or did the vast majority of them simply have
a case of the sniffles or a seasonal flu bug?
Without laboratory confirmation, no one will
ever know, but they sure are using those numbers
to scare you!
-
- Going back to my original question though,
you must ask yourself who stands to benefit from
all of this paranoia and hysteria.
-
- Of course you know the answer to this one.
-
-
Big Pharma … which stands to
gain up to $49 billion a year on the swine flu
vaccine alone plus an infinite amount on top
of that for future pandemic vaccines.
-
- The vaccine manufacturers would love for
every man, woman, and child to heed the CDC's
advice to get vaccinated. But now you know
better.
-
- The swine flu is typically a mild illness.
-
- The swine flu vaccine has not been tested
for safety or efficacy, but we DO know it will
contain harmful additives.
-
- The choice, to me, is obvious. And in the
future, anytime a new "pandemic"
appears and officials urge you to rush out and
get a shot, please remember this article and ask
yourself if it's
really you who stands to benefit from their
advice.
