Updated 2/28/20..."The Repeal" is temporarily unavailable for viewing. Please check back for updates. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

When New York legislators voted to repeal the vaccine religious exemption on June 13, 2019, in one day without public hearing and under corrupt proceedings that were captured on film; 26,000 children, including many members of New York's Amish and Mennonite communities, were kicked out of school, if they refused to compromise their religious beliefs.

"The Repeal: The Trial to Restore Religious Freedom" presented by FirstFreedoms.org is a brief, beautiful and powerful film about the "ongoing legal battle over essential human freedoms currently under siege in New York" the outcome of which will have implications for every state.

“We agree to live the way we live. We agree not to carry a cell phone or smart phone in our pocket. We agree as a group we don’t want that. We try to live by the New Testament and what Jesus, in his wandering on earth, what he tried to teach the people. We try to go by that.”

“Measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, I don’t consider those to be life threatening; and if we have those once, we have immunity towards those. We don’t get them again…”

“The more I read on how these vaccines are made, with aborted fetuses, and things like that, it, it just does not look right to me in the eyes of God…We always thought we have freedom of religion in our churches and our schools, and we are being told that the state feels they have a right in our churches and schools. It scares us…”

“We were able to have freedom of religion which meant we could have our own churches, our own schools…We could worship God in the way we felt was right; and we’re scared now as to what is happening that we might not have that freedom anymore.”

“The way it got in the papers was that I’m filing a lawsuit towards the state and I’m suing the state. I wish it could have read, I plead to the state to repeal the law."

Attorneys Jim Mermigis and Kevin Barry

“I want to say thank you for the courage of our Amish and Mennonite friends for taking this issue on. I’m very aware of their reluctance to engage in the judicial system...but it is extremely unusual for the state to take away religious liberty like this and the only way to get it back when the legislature does something as foolish as happened in this legislature is to seek judicial review; so thank you for your courage in stepping up.”
-Kevin Barry, Esq.-

“Everybody says you can’t talk about the religion and the science...you just have to focus on the religion because we’re talking about the religious exemption; but I don’t believe that to be true, because if you look at the science and you know how dangerous the vaccines are to your children, then it would be against everybody’s religion."

“In New York and in other states, there are pending bills for HPV vaccine, which is a sexually transmitted disease."

"There are ministers in New York who are now saying that they will rise up to oppose that vaccine being mandated, but they’re too late. Unless we can restore the religious liberty through the courts, they're too late on that issue because the religious ability to opt out is gone; and here come HPV vaccine and some of the other 270 vaccines under development, so If you don’t keep the religious exemption to opt out now, you’re accepting the future vaccine schedule.”

“...we would very much appreciate if we could just live here amongst our communities and have our own schools the way we’ve had for the past 50 or 60 years and let the choice be to the individual how they want to do on the vaccines."

"We just hope we can go on in our community and live here in peace and be law abiding citizens; but I’m not doing this just for our community, I’m doing this for for everybody…I don’t want it just for the Amish, I want it for everybody.”

“We believe Jesus told us we shall be law abiding citizens as long as it is in compliance with God’s word…we want to follow what Jesus taught us.”

“It's not just kids that get hurt" . . . . Nick Gauthier's Story

2/9/2020

1 Comment

I first learned of Nick Gauthier's story in September 2019. Nick, a PhD level Audiologist, former fire fighter and father of three, had recently moved his family from Michigan to Texas to take a position at Fort Hood. On August 19th, within hours of receiving a Tdap vaccine required for employment, Nick's vaccine injury story began and life, as Nick and his wife Andrea knew it, changed dramatically.

I documented Nick and Andrea's FB updates on the VCPC website so that their story could be shared beyond Facebook. On January 30th, Nick's story was included in Episode #148 of The HighWire. Watch Nick's "Ex-Vax Files" segment below as well as the full interview with Nick and a segment with Andrea in the second video. Since the segment aired, there have been setbacks and last night, February 8, 2020, Nick was hospitalized in respiratory distress. Please keep Nick, Andrea and their family in your thoughts and prayers and check here for updates on Nick's condition.

“If there’s one thing for people to know from this is that it’s not just kids that get hurt. It can be literally anyone. I was the healthiest of my friends, of my family; and there’s no indicators that it’s going to be you.”

Despite the fact that Nick has been unable to work and may lose his position at Fort Hood, as you'll hear in the video, Nick has not yet been able to collect Workman's Compensation. If you are able to help financially, click here to donate to "Nick's Medical Fundraiser."

“I took this job down here to give my family a better life. I regret it at this point because it’s changed everything for me. I lost everything I love. There’s a chance I lost my career. I would give anything to go back to that day and just not get that shot."

Nick's story begins at 1:06:34, of HighWire Episode #148.
Nick talks with host Del Bigtree at 1:12:50.

What Nick would like others to know . . .
“Doctors don’t know about vaccines. They know the theory but they don’t know the side effects. They don’t know the ingredients. Heck, a lot of them don’t even know what VAERS is, which is terrifying. So educate yourself because they’re not educating themselves; so that you can make a choice of what goes into your body; what goes into your family’s body; because there are real repercussions if you do have a reaction and no one will ever know who’s going to have a reaction to the vaccine.”
