FOR MOTHER'S DAY: START LISTENING TO MOMS. STOP BLAMING THEM.

This is the the transcript of a DVD sent to the Presidential candidates by Rebecca Estepp.

Vaccine Safety Requests For Our Next Commander in Chief

My name is Rebecca Estepp. I am a proud military wife and mother of two boys. My husband is currently deployed overseas.  This is his third deployment in five years.   My oldest son, Eric, is a child living with autism.

I followed the recommended vaccine schedule for my son Eric.  He developed typically until he had a vaccine reaction. Eric was later diagnosed with autism.

We know from the recent government concession in the Hannah Poling case that children with underlying and generally unidentified, mitochondrial disorders are at risk from such  aggressive vaccination practices and can develop autism from receiving too many shots in one day. Military families are frequently exposed to multiple vaccinations in one day as they move about from base to base in their service. 

Based on my son's experience with adverse vaccine reactions, I want to know if you are elected if you would issue two Executive Orders, which would begin to improve vaccine safety.  The Executive Branch is responsible for vaccine policies through the actions of the CDC, NIH, FDA and EPA. Vaccine safety issues are a topic of great concern for many, many families with children today.

********************************************************
Candidates: The first Executive Order I would like you to consider is within the first 100 days of taking office, would you issue an Executive Order requiring the removal of MERCURY from all vaccines by January 1, 2010? 

Mercury is STILL present in 94% of all flu vaccines. In fact, the amount of mercury present in one dose of flu vaccine exceeds EPA safety standards for human exposure for anyone who weighs less than 500 pounds. Mercury is a known neurotoxin and a toxin to the developing immune system. There is absolutely no reason to  purposely inject mercury into our babies, much less into pregnant women and their fetuses.

With the tremendous talent, ability and resources available to the pharmaceutical Industry, they can comply with this order by producing vaccines in single dose vials.  Government agencies charged with vaccine safety recommended that mercury be removed from children's vaccines back In 1999. The recommendation to err on the side of caution has not been followed by industry, or enforced by those agencies.

In 2004, both candidates supported the removal of mercury from all vaccines while on the campaign trail. Unfortunately no action has been taken to date.  I am asking the next Commander In Chief to please issue this order.

*******************************************************
For the second Executive Order, Candidates: Within 100 days of taking office, would you issue an Order requiring a Moratorium on the addition of new vaccines to the recommended list for children, until the current vaccine schedule can be proven safe?

In 2008, children who follow the recommended vaccine schedule receive 48 doses of 14 vaccines by age 6 - more than twice the number of doses of vaccines that children got in 1983, when they received 23 doses of 7 vaccines. While it is unclear exactly what role this increase in the number of doses has played with regard to the health of American children, it is clear that new vaccines are not held to the same safety and testing standards that new drugs are. 

It is also clear, as the CDC has recently admitted, that  simultaneous vaccination is incompletely studied at time of licensure.  Even though kids get multiple doses of vaccines in their doctor’s offices everyday.To ensure that the vaccines American children receive are as safe as possible, the next generation of children will need strong leadership from the next President who oversees the agencies that approve vaccines.

Public confidence in vaccine safety is essential for compliance. More and more parents are refusing or delaying vaccines out of a legitimate concern for safety as the number of sick children has risen along with the number of vaccines.  Vaccination is a medical procedure that manipulates the immune system and alters the human body, not just a rite of passage . I am asking that they simply be held to the same rigorous testing standards as other drugs.

Issuing an Executive Order to stop adding more vaccines to the schedule until safety can be determined through those standards will be a step towards restoring public confidence and allow us to move forward ensuring that children are both protected from diseases and reducing the possibility of adverse reactions.

*************************************************

Regardless of the controversy between vaccines and the cause of autism, these simple requests provide a common sense approach to restoring the public's faith in these medical procedures.

Candidates: Thank you very much for listening. We need a President willing to take action to restore the principle of "First, Do No Harm" to Public Health. I look forward to receiving your video responses prior to Memorial Day this year. The responses should come from you, in person and on video so that American citizens concerned with vaccine safety can witness your campaign pledges.

To all American citizens concerned with vaccine safety, I encourage you to send a link to this video request for these questions out through your email.  My husband and thousands of other dedicated soldiers are fighting around the world to preserve our freedom of speech to let our leaders know when we see a need for change to improve the quality of life for American citizens. Children deserve to be protected from diseases that could harm or kill them.  But we need to be sure that in our efforts to prevent disease, we haven't created life long disabilities. Thank you.

My husband is also military and thank you in what your husband do for us.

Valid, concise and pertinent info. hope we get the answers

Becky, how you pull this off with a child on the spectrum, another child, a full time job and a husband out fighting for the US...is beyond me
Everydday in autism I find a new hero. Youre mine for at least another few weeks.

[Michelle Thorn]

Thank you Rebecca for continuing to be such a champion of information regarding autism and vaccines. You remain an inspiration for many. You are my hero!

[H H H Fudenberg M,D.]

PLEASE FORWARD POSTAL ADDRESS.

[Pamela Felice]

I agree with Kelli Ann. I greatly appreciated what Rebecca has done and I also believe we should go back to the schedule of 1983. So let's move forward with Rebecca's call to action but, for those who agree, let's ask in our email that we go back to the schedule of 1983 with no more vaccines added until appropriate studies are done.

It's like Jenny McCarthy said on the Larry Kind vaccine debate, "It's not like we had kids dropping off the map in 1983"...that necessitated the aggressive increase in our schedule.

[Lin Wessels]

THANK YOU, Becky et al. We very much appreciate your efforts! Thank you for your unwavering dedication and commitment to all those afflicted by autism! I think you did an outstanding job!! We appreciate you and all those who worked so diligently to make this happen!

PLEASE, THANK YOUR HUSBAND FOR US FOR HIS LOYALTY AND SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!!

Can someone post the email addresses at the end...votehillary something, etc?

[Kelli Ann Davis]

Becky,

Love it. Short. Sweet. To the point.

I hope they get flooded with e-mails!

ROCK ON!

I appreciate the effort made by Rebecca - a LOT - but I would have preferred it if the second order had said that we need to go back to the 1983 schedule (at the very least until a safe one is implemented) since we KNOW that the current vaccine schedule is undeniably unsafe.

Even keeping the current schedule going means that kids are continuing to get axed on a daily basis. Newer and newer people are hitting the lists each day with 2 or 3 year olds that have been recently diagnosed. THIS current schedule needs to go - ASAP. Just my personal opinion.
