This comes to us from a local Eugene-area person working on this issue. We are including it here as a service to our members.

Time sensitive info and heartfelt request

Dear Friends,

I would like to alert you to a serious bill and ask you to help spread the word about it.

HB 3063 will take away a parent’s right to delay, space out, or skip even one vaccine if they want their child to attend daycare, preschool, or any K-12 public or private school in Oregon.

Additionally, a child who has not received every shot on the Oregon list will not be allowed to go to watch a high school soccer game, see a school concert, or play on a school playground or field with other children.

You can be 100% pro vaccine and still be against this bill.

There is an information night to learn more about the bill:

Thursday, April 4th
6:00 – 8:00 PM
4330 Willamette St.

Here are three simple ways you can help:

1. Please forward this email to any of your friends and family who might care. (We are especially trying to reach parents at the Village School, Eugene Waldorf School, The Family School, Far Horizons Montessori, The Chinese Immersion School, Nature Discovery School in Eugene, A3, Sahara Children’s School, Camas Ridge Community Elementary School, Auntie Nica’s, Patterson Preschool, Foundations Montessori Preschool, Dancing Sol, The Toy Box, and Hazelwood House.)

2. Come to the info night, put it into your calendar.

3. Every one of your voices needs to be heard! Call your State Senator and tell them that you are their constituent and you want them to oppose HB 3063. The Senators for the Eugene area are:

Floyd Prozanski 503-986-1704
Lee Beyer 503-986-1706
James Manning 503-986-1707

If you don’t know who your state Senator is you can easily find out by clicking on this link and entering your address: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/FindYourLegislator/leg-districts-mobile_new.htm

*Even if you plan to homeschool if this bill passes. Call your Senator and let them know you will not be coerced into making medical decisions and that you want them to oppose HB 3063.*

There is a very real possibility of this bill passing. Our three local Senators could stop it. Feel free to reach out for more information or support.

Sincerely,

Stacey Black

DVD begins at 6:00 PM
(68 min.)

Location:

Natural Grocers
201 Coburg Road
Eugene, OR 97401

Description:

This presentation offers an overview of the healing nature of fever and childhood illnesses, and the role that intracellular water plays in the healing process. Dr Cowan addresses the rise in autoimmune disease and other chronic diseases, and how the immune system responds to vaccines versus wild disease. Then he looks at the tragic consequences of policies designed to thwart these natural processes.

One Doctor’s Surprising Answer to the Epidemic of Autoimmunity and Chronic Disease

Over the past fifty years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded: currently 1 in 2.5 American children has an allergy, 1 in 11 has asthma, 1 in 13 has severe food allergies, and 1 in 36 has autism. While some attribute this rise to increased awareness and diagnosis, Thomas Cowan, MD, argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive―approximately 70 vaccine doses by age eighteen. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we’re now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response.

Dr. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life; examines the role of fever, the gut, and cellular fluid in immune health; argues that vaccination is an ineffective (and harmful) attempt to shortcut a complex immune response; and asserts that the medical establishment has engaged in an authoritarian argument that robs parents of informed consent. His ultimate question, from the point of view of a doctor who has decades of experience treating countless children is: What are we really doing to children when we vaccinate them?

Tom Cowan, MD, is a holistic physician in private practice in San Francisco. He is the author of Human Heart, Cosmic Heart; Vaccines, Autoimmunity & Changing Nature of Childhood Disease; The Fourfold Path to Healing; and co-author of The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care.
