Date (jeT 0 li ZUU~" A RESOLUTION URGING HAW AI'I STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATORS TO AMEND VACCINE LAWS TO INCLUDE THE RIGHT OF MEDICAL, RELIGIOUS, AND PHILOSOPHICAL EXEMPTION FROM MANDATED VACCINATION PROGRAMS. WHEREAS, on June 11,2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Level 6 "pandemic" and according to the International Health Regulations of 2005, the WHO and the U.N. become the controlling agencies ofthe U.S. in the event of a declared Level 6 Pandemic, and are entitled to control of this country under martial law; and WHEREAS, the text of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) gives Public Health officials the power to vaccinate all Americans over the age of six months and according to"Section 807"of MSEHP A, previous laws granting medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions to federally mandated vaccination programs would be repealed; and WHEREAS, Hawai'i Revised Statute S 302A-1157, titled Exemptions from immunization; not recognized; epidemic conditions, states: "If at any time there is, in the opinion of the department of health, danger of an epidemic from any of the communicable diseases for which immunization is required under sections 302A-1154 to 302A-1163, no exemption from immunization against the disease shall be recognized. Quarantine shall be a legal alternative to immunization;" and WHEREAS, vaccines are made with toxic chemicals and foreign proteins (viruses and bacteria), and some vaccines are made with genetically engineered viral and bacterial materials; and WHEREAS, the $7 billion United States Government 'fast-track program' means that the government can legally rush vaccines onto the market in time for the autumn 2009 flu season without "normal" or adequate safety testing; and WHEREAS, Homeland Security Bill HR 5710, Sections 1714-1717, shields the pharmaceutical industry from lawsuits for injuries caused by FDA-approved vaccines; and WHEREAS, there is insufficient scientific evidence proving that vaccines are safe or effective, therefore it is not in the best interest of public health to impose mandatory vaccinations without exemptions; and WHEREAS, swine flu and the flu vaccines both contain Thimerosal, a preservative for vaccines composed of mercury, one microgram of mercury is considered toxic and flu shots contain 25 micrograms. By age two, most United States children have received around 237 micrograms of mercury through vaccines; and WHEREAS, in the wake of potential harm to the individual and the public from vaccinations, and the vacillating interpretation of "vaccine science," it is in the public's best interest to amend the vaccine laws, to include the right of medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions from mandated vaccination programs; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAW AI'I, that it recommends that state and federal elected officials who represent the people of the State of Hawai'i amend vaccine laws to include medical, religious, and philosophical exemptions from mandatory vaccine programs that contain thimersol or squalene. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any vaccine known to contain harmful viruses or any materials known to prompt autoimmune diseases or cancer risks shall provide cause for exemption for any person in the State of Hawai'i who so desires such exemption. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the county clerk shall forward a copy of this resolution to the Honorable William Kenoi, Mayor; Dr. Chi yo me Fukino, Director Department of Health, the Honorable Linda Lingle, Governor; the Honorable Daniel Akaka, U. S. Senator, the Honorable Daniel Inouye, U. S. Senator; the Honorable Mazie Hirano, U.S. Representative; the Honorable Neil Abercrombie, U.S. Representative; the Honorable Russell Kokubun, State Senator; and the Honorable Faye P.
