Dear Friends and supporters, another week has gone by and it hasn’t been uneventful! I write today on the 20th Anniversary of the death of St John Paul II who paved the way for us to value the Dignity of Human Life from Conception to Natural Death.
St John Paul II, pray for us!
In the top of our news this week, the Senate confirmed Dr. Jay Bhattacharya to the top post directing the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This is FABULOUS NEWS INDEEED and a BLESSING for PRO LIFE families who have been fighting the good fight alongside us in order to obtain ethical alternative vaccines in the US and to push the pharmaceutical industry to end the use of aborted fetal cell lines in research.
Absolutely watch the video below of Senator Hawley’s question regarding aborted fetal cell lines used in research/vaccines. We are very enthusiastic to join countless Pro-Life Organizations and work together to END the use of aborted fetal remains in scientific discovery!
MEASLES
The latest CDC report shows there are now 483 cases of Measles in the U.S.
It is interesting, and it has been brought up many times, that media reporting always points to those who are “unvaccinated.” However, as you see from the snapshot from the CDC site, it states: “Unvaccinated and Unknown.” Why are those numbers not separated? It surely paints an incomplete picture.
States generally capture vaccination rates starting at 5 years old when children enter school. Younger children are usually not included in that data unless states require entry into a mandated vaccination registry. It is important that the CDC really takes a look at the hard numbers and does a better job of providing more details instead of clumping all these numbers together and throw people in a tizzy.
In the US measles was declared eradicated in the year 2000. Eradication means the absence of the continuous spread for a period of 12 months.
The Campaign for Ethical Alternatives is well underway and many families, in just a few weeks time, have graciously signed on to let us know how many alternative vaccines they are in need of. Others who do not need them can support our efforts to gain the alternatives for the families that want/need them. We GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!
We have quite a few families this year traveling to Japan, at great expense, to vaccinate their children and/or grandchildren. This is absolute nonsense! Families should NOT have to be placed in this position- yet they are. Which is why we need your help! Please follow and Sign on to the Campaign for Ethical Vaccinesand share far and wide to your friends, family and colleagues!
We will have paper petitions available in next weeks newsletter to take to your parishes, churches, meetings and so on.
As I’ve updated in the last few weeks, Governor Morrisey of West Virginia signed an Executive Order allowing Religious Exemptions to immunizations and passed that on to the Senate and then the House. There was quite the vocal debate yet it passed the Senate and was sent to the House. The WV House revamped the “medical exemptions” section and completely rejected allowing Religious Exemptions. However, because it was done by Executive Order, many WV families are already using the exemptions.HOWEVER»»
It would seem that exemptions for Catholic schools in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charlestown are null and void. So we add yet another Diocese to the list that refuses Catholic families rights to a Catholic Education.
Generally, the reasoning from the Bishops in these Dioceses has been a need to protect the common good of other students and faculty and there is nothing in Church teaching forbidding vaccines. Yet, the Vatican clearly stated that:
When it comes to "protecting the common good of students and faculty," it seems particularly unjust to put the burden of immunization only on children because the same rule should apply to teachers, members of the clergy, janitors, office and cafeteria workers, etc. who are equally capable of infecting others in the school. What about children in weekly religious education classes who have vaccine exemptions at other schools? Parents who are willing to pay for their Catholic education are excluded, yet those who receive free Catechesis are not.
What about people at Mass who share the Precious Blood? Are we going to check vaccination records at the doors of the Church? Certainly not, but the fact remains that all of these are areas where disease can be spread.
But in any case, the bottom line is that the only ones who are at risk in the event of an outbreak are those with the exemptions and there are already State and Center for Disease Control guidelines in place that require temporary exclusion from school if that should occur. No one is ever banned from attending school altogether – except in these Dioceses.
In addition, it should be noted that prior to implementing these unjust policies, there had never been a single case of any unvaccinated child infecting someone at a Catholic school in any of these dioceses.
In recognizing the primacy of conscience, the Pro-Life Secretariat of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Catholic Medical Association, and the National Catholic Bioethics Center stated:
Children of God for Life looks forward to the day when ALL Dioceses honor the Church teaching on the primacy of conscience and look forward to doing ALL they can to help pressure the pharmaceutical industry to create MORAL ALTERNATIVES.
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU…
Does your Diocese allow religious exemptions to aborted fetal vaccines?
CoG for Life, namely our very own Stacy Trasancos, broke the news on University of Pittsburgh’s BARBARIC Experiments of using Scalps and Backs of Aborted Children and Grafting them onto Rodents. The story was picked up nationally and the outcry came for further investigation which has been ongoing for nearly 4 years and counting…
”New FOIA documents fail to disclose if the government ever concluded its investigation of the University of Pittsburgh’s research involving baby parts. The incoming NIH director should address problems this suggests with the NIH FOIA system and NIH’s public communication.”
I note where you said this: " Are we going to check vaccination records at the doors of the Church?"
In the US were the Churches ever required to view vaccination status for Covid-19 in order for a person to attend Mass? Because this really did happen here in Australia for a time! We really were having vaccinated only Masses. The unvaccinated were like refugees coming to parishes where the priest wasn't asking (against government regulations which stated he had to). The Church were shamefully silent on the whole issue. The Australian government went completely insane and was requiring proof of vaccination for Covid-19 to go just about everywhere or to keep your employment. Thank God that they never required it to go grocery shopping, so the unvaccinated could still buy food. The worst thing about all of this is, noone has apologised for any of it. Not the Church, not the government. The government could do it all again tomorrow if they wanted to and the Church would probably go along with it all again :(
So yes, vaccination status can literally be checked at the doors of the Church, it has been done before.
I am so incredibly GLAD that you too never, ever forgot about that horrific, blasphemous scalping of aborted babies by U. of Pittsburg!!!! I have wanted that terrifyingly evil practice investigated and outlawed, and censures placed on U of P. Also, if I remember correctly, was the U. of Saskatchewan also a major center for inhuman research using aborted babies?
