American Rally for Personal Rights Announces Andrew Wakefield as Keynote Speaker
From The American Rally for Personal Rights.
The American Rally for Personal Rights proudly announces its keynote platform speaker, Dr. Andrew Wakefield. His remarks will underscore the central message of the rally, that vaccination choice is a fundamental human right. He will talk about the suppression of science and the real dangers to the universal childhood vaccination program due to the absence of free and informed consent.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath, is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School (part of the University of London) in 1981, one of the third generation of his family to have studied medicine at that teaching hospital.
He pursued a career in gastrointestinal surgery with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and in 1996 was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto, Canada. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2001. He has published over 130 original scientific articles, book chapters, and invited scientific commentaries.
In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Dr. Wakefield lost his job in the Department of Medicine at London’s Royal Free Hospital, his country, his career, and his medical license.
Dr. Wakefield will be joined by many dedicated and passionate voices speaking about informed consent and vaccination choice:

Many of you are excited about the rally, but live too far away to stand with us in Chicago, so we have decided to bring the rally to you! Announcing Virtual Participation and House Parties for Personal Rights! We will be live streaming the rally online to allow people all over the world to participate in the rally from their hometowns, and to be virtually represented in Chicago.
You can participate two ways... You can register your family as virtual participants, watch from home, and have the members of your family represented by balloons at the rally site in Chicago... AND
You can attend (or throw) a local House Party for Personal Rights with others from your area who are interested in learning more about this important issue. Invite people to listen, with an open mind, to the professional and credentialed voices you did not hear on Frontline's The Vaccine War program.
Satellite Rallies: NJ and Seattle
If you can't find a living room big enough to hold your community, consider holding a satellite event and inviting the entire town! A satellite rally is just an oversized house party. We are busy adding new satellite rally locations. Details about New Jersey and Seattle to follow. Let us know if you’d like to organize an event.
Technology How-To:

The pharmaceutical companies have too much power and are in a sense running this country and our government is allowing it. They poison our kids with thimerosal, the preservative in multi-dose vials, realize their mistake in 1999 and are still doing it...no order to stop and no recall of multi-dose vials. Parents are playing Russian Roulette when getting vaccines for their kids and should be given the choice to not vaccine unless it is a single dose vial with no preservative. It should cost the makers, not the lives of their victims. You can't even process a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. I tried for my autistic grandson when he was 5 but it was denied. If they process one claim, they get bombarded so they deny them all. Is this fair? There should be civil suits again each pharmaceutical company that uses thimerosal. These kids need help and the help is so expensive, the common person cannot afford it. This is a disgrace is this country and I am ashamed of our government for allowing it.

I wish that I could be there!!! To support Andrew Wakefield himself as well as the Personal Rights and Vaccine Choice cause. I was planning on going and now I can't due to situations that have developed recently. BOO HOO HOO. I thought I was finally going to finally be able to attend the convention also.
What is a wonderful surprise however, is the ability to watch the rally online!!! This is a genius method to reach a huge audience in comparison to those who are able to attend in person. YES!!!
I signed up for the baloons, another great idea to tell the world how many people are in support of this movement to acheive vaccine choice and protection of our constitutional rights.
EVERY ONE OF US SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THIS.
