As with the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage and the gay rights movement to name just a few of the most notable of modern American society’s victories, the “anti-vaccine” movement needs to move beyond the politically correct actions that we are now utilizing. When you play by the other side’s rules, you’re guaranteed to lose. Civil disobedience, while for the most part peaceful, was the impetus for these struggles’ success and should be for this cause as well.

While many will most certainly wonder how I can even imagine the anti-vaccine movement to be akin to that of these famous societal conflicts, I will go even further and state that this movement has elements that deserve even more attention than any of these others. Allow me to explain. While all of these struggles were deserving of the attention that they received, there is one striking difference: commercial profits and government influence did not make the African’s skin black, nor did it cause certain individuals to be born with vaginas or influence the sexual orientation of others. They have however, caused the damaging effects that we are witnessing in America and abroad today in the autism community.

Add to the reasons above, the fact that we are damaging our most vulnerable, the infants and children, and that this harm knows no sex, color, creed or orientation and you have a catastrophic situation that wouldn’t be believable in a screenplay and explains my stance on this issue. One in 58 boys in this country are affected by autism, one in 38 boys in Britain are now affected. The damage done destroys families, will devastate our schools as well as our economy and debilitate scores of our children. If this is not a reason to step up this fight, I can’t imagine what is.

Autism now affects more children than childhood cancer, diabetes, Cerebral Palsy and spina bifida combined yet research regarding this disability is far less than any of these. As hundreds of thousands of parents clearly state that their normally developing, happy children regressed into autistic-like symptoms directly after being subjected to these toxic vaccines, our governments and medical professionals continue to ignore us. The main stream media refuses to allow the same degree of attention to be paid to reputable research that sheds these vaccine practices in a negative light to that of those disputing what these parents are saying.

Pleading for justice from our government while hundreds of billions of dollars of pharmaceutical profits are at stake is akin to a gay rights activist kneeling at the altar of the 700 club begging to be recognized and respected. It just simply aint gonna happen. It is time to demand that we are heard. It is time to remove the politicians that allow the poisoning of our children to continue and replace them with truly caring individuals that are unafraid to stand up for our children. It’s time to call out the pharmaceutical industry for causing this medical holocaust. And it’s definitely the time to dismantle certain segments of the medical establishment for ignoring and in some instances being culpable in, this epidemic.

It’s not time to take our ball and go home. We’re going to change the rules of the game. To allow justice and truth to prevail despite the vast amount of power and corrupt influence that is all too apparent in government and industry today. In recognition of the upcoming Super Bowl: power on the front line simply requires a passing game that these giants can’t compete with. We will no longer play the victims because we fear how society will treat us. We will fight for our children, we will win, and those that have covered this up for so long will be brought to justice.

As with these other noble causes, this is not a civil rights issue, nor a gay or equal rights issue…this is a human rights issue. We must prevail. The alternative is a not an option.
