The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have taken over the control of the UK vaccination schedule and now have the power to bring in new vaccines without government approval even if they haven't been safety tested. Prior to this, all new vaccines would have to pass through parliament and be voted on before they were introduced. Now the government is compelled to agree with anything JCVI say, even if there is no science to back it up.

JCVI are also exploring whether to get a 'guardian of the state' for all unvaccinated children and sue their parents to FORCE them to vaccinate - this means that vegetarians will be forced to take animal products via vaccines, people will be forced to be injected with cancer-causing chemicals and those people who have already had vaccine reactions and disabilities will have their lives put at risk.

They write in their meeting minutes:

'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.’“ See the meeting minutes here:

Those on the committee are also on the boards of the drug companies who make vaccines and so are profiting from their recommendations.

To safeguard our right to choose the healthcare for ourselves and our children, Vaccination Awareness Network, the advocacy group for parents who don't vaccinate, will be protesting against mandatory vaccination and conflict of interest.

If you are a parent who doesn't vaccinate, if you would like to choose which vaccines you have, if you or a loved one are vaccine injured, please come along and show your support opposite the House of Lords, Old Palace Yard, Westminster at 12 noon on Saturday 3rd October 2009.

Some people have suggested coming dressed as rabbits because the vaccine has not undergone clinical trials (we are the trial) - so fancy dress is permitted and might even be nice for the little ones

If you are attending the Arnica Parents social meeting in St. James park after the protest, then please PUT YOUR BANNERS AWAY prior to entering the park, and take off any protest T shirts because if you don't, you will be classed as protesting on the Queen's property and no protests are allowed in any of the Royal parks. There will be FINES if you don't comply.

You don't have to be a member of Arnica to attend. It's just a chance for lots of like-minded parents to meet and for their children to play in the park.

Please contact Jo on 0870 444 0894 if you require more information.
