• Make THREE phone Calls. Senator Crowley (sponsor of the bill)  home 4017258526     politely ask her to withdraw her bill, that it intrudes on your medical privacy and circumvents informed consent. Senate President  Ruggerio  office 4012226655  Say the same, and add that the RIDOH has already shown to not be trustworthy with patient data- that they shouldn’t be allowed to collect more private citizen data elements. Last one is your personal Senator. Say the same as above and add you want them to Oppose this bill if it comes to a vote. You can look up your senator at vote.sos.ri.gov
• Sign the petition and share on your social media. With this link Database.NOHPVmandateRI.com
• Hang this flyer around your area on community boards and anywhere that will permit you to hang it up. Don’t forget to pre-cut along dotted vertical lines.
• Do you have ideas? Thoughts on things that could improve the mission? Send them to us. We love to hear from you and appreciate feedback. Admin@NOHPVmandateRI.com

 

Thank you so much for your support and efforts, we greatly appreciate it.

senate Bad Database Tracking Bill Scheduled

THURSDAY MAY 9TH 4:30P is the hearing for S 676 has been scheduled in the senate lounge. Only three bills are currently on the agenda for this evening. Show at close to 4:30 as you are able – you can text Aimee 4017410386 to ask about status etc if you are running late.

This is the BAD DATABASE BILL that will automatically enroll every RI resident.

We need as many people as possible to show up to this hearing to oppose this bill. Last year it passed on the senate side. This year it is in committee on the house side early in the legislative session. PLEASE attend and bring a friend or two with you. We created a Facebook event also so it is easy to share and invite others on social media. https://www.facebook.com/events/423331301562642/

When speaking at a legislative hearing you are given 2 minutes to say your testimony. You may also bring written testimony only and not speak if you would prefer. Please bring 15 copies of your statement with S676 at the top, and your name- address – and phone printed clearly on the documents. The clerk will distribute them to the committee. If you are not able to make it and want us to submit your written testimony on your behalf – please email it to aimee@nohpvmandateri.com.

Talking Points to consider;

~ The only illness a vaccine is available for that is sometimes in high numbers, in adults, in RI is influenza. Therefore why are trying to track all adult vaccines in this state.

~ The database itself plus the personnel salaries to maintain it will inflate our already very large RI budget. When we can barely pay for our state expenses, why are we adding to the tally when there is no actual need for it.

~ Automatically opting residents into a database is unethical. Currently this already happens with the child database in RI, and has no option to opt out of it. This should never be supported in this kind of way. If a database was to even exist, each resident should need to sign up that they wish to participate, and voluntarily take part in it.

~ You want the right to make private and non tracked decisions regarding HPV vaccines for your preteens, if they start tracking adults, do you want them bothering you next with getting the HPV vaccine? It was recently approved for through age 45 by the FDA

~ It would continue forward with insurers and pharmacists on the vaccine recommendation committee, without any citizen parent advocates or even immunologists, on the panel.

~ The language for “opt out” of the bill is not defined, and does not guarantee your file will be deleted upon opting out.

~ The last two weeks there were topic hearings in congress about vaccination and removing exemptions for all vaccines (this would mean no longer being able to decide which ones you are okay with or not). Tracking you as an adult also means being able to try to later make adults comply to vaccinations without exemption options, and they will have a database to target you from.

 

We have also created a petition that we will print and bring with us to the committee hearing. You can sign and share the petition via database.NOHPVmandateRI.com

If the mandate of the HPV vaccine has shown us anything from RI Dept of Health, it is that they are not focusing on public health they are focusing on some kinds of plan with a goal that is tied to dollars. in 2014 when the HPV vaccine was added to the schedule for 7th graders, the RI Dept of Health received a grant for over $600,000 to market the HPV vaccine. That’s over a half a million tax dollars spent in just this state to market a vaccine that Merck profits from.

 

Take action today.

Bad senate bill has arrived

There was a terrific showing of attendance on Wed two weeks ago for the hearing of H5541 against the bad database bill. Thank you to everyone who took the time to show up and wrote to the committee.

The companion Bad Database bill has dropped on the Senate side S676, sponsored by senator Crowley without any co sponsors listed.

Now be sure to let your representative & senator of your district know you do not want them to support these bills. Bring it to their attention. We have access to software for A SHORT TIME that lets you enter your address and send a direct msg to your rep. Do it NOW and then share this message with others too. We need to show that numbers are strong and we do not want this bill to pass. After you send the pre written email, it will give you the phone numbers so you can call and write down for future reference. Please commit to asking two friends to also use this tool to write in opposition of these bills.

Email the Health committee to oppose S 676 for the senate also. We will let you know when a hearing date has been scheduled.

Two emails will take approx 3min or less of your time. Later could become never, please email Now.

 

Additional piece of info that you may not have seen in our previous notices —

HIPAA laws exempt agencies such as a health department from following HIPAA guidelines with data they have obtained. In other words, once the DOH has the data in the database they are exempt from HIPAA laws.

 

Act NOW to stop this database from happening in RI.

WE REACHED THE GOAL TO SEND THE BOOK “HPV VACCINE ON TRIAL” TO 26 LEGISLATORS. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Action Item Email

Rhode Island currently has multiple bills in the statehouse this year and a couple more are still expected to be submitted in the topic of Health Choices.

There is a push across the nation and through federal agencies to impede on religious freedoms and medical freedoms, and that is simply atrocious. We should all support the rights we have and protect them, or we will fall farther from being a free nation.

BAD BILL

H5541 The Adult Database tracking bill from last year is back again!!  Read the blog post from last year about this bill written by a fierce activist. This is the bill that wants to add to the KidsNet database (one for children up to age 18 in RI~ auto enrolled without any opt out option already in place) that is auto enroll and you don’t sign yourself up, you are put in whether you want to be or not. The bill changes the name of the database to longer be Kidsnet.

Prewritten emails are ready for you to click and send! (www.2019.nohpvmandateri.com) You need to add your name and address at the bottom of the email before hitting send. You can fully edit and add to them. They are written very basic and to the point, we do encourage you to add one paragraph that is personal from you.

Did you miss the email from the other day about all the bills? Read it here

**CALL TO ACTION!!!***

Rhode Island Senate Committee on Health and Human Services is holding a very important hearing THIS THURSDAY MAY 24 at RI State House 4:30 PM in Senate Lounge********  They have brought this back to the agenda to vote to pass/fail to the senate floor. Being on the agenda again means it has a good chance of passing committee unless we make noise NOW before Thurs meeting.

BAD DATABASE BILL S2530

This database is auto enroll and you can not opt out. RI Dept of Health is marketing it as a vaccination database, so media outlets etc are not touching on the topic. It is NOT for vaccines only. The terminology of the bill allows for anything the Director of the RI Dept of Health sees fit to be tracked in the this database for every single RI resident. Currently the database already exists for every minor child in RI and tracks things well beyond vaccination status.

 

CALL SENATOR MILLER AND TELL HIM YOU DO NOT WANT THIS BILL TO PASS THE HHS COMMITTEE

4012765507

The rest of the committee phone numbers and emails and more info on this bill can be found on the blog posted by Health Choice Rhode Island.

Facebook Event Link

Bills introduced in BOTH the house and the senate!

Exciting News in RI in February. Legislation has been introduced in both the house and the senate in support of the mission to advocate for informed consent.

Senate Bill  S2405

Introduced By:

Senators Metts, Morgan, Paolino, Cote, and Archambault

This bill will allow for opt out by note vs exemption for the HPV vaccine by the wording of “non-casual contact disease transmitted by sexual contact”. Any parent or guardian can furnish the decision to the institution in writing. All consent forms and correspondence sent to parents and guardians about vaccinations shall affirmatively notify them of the option to opt out of participation in the vaccination program.

This bill is great for informed consent and we support that it is a move in the right direction. However, this bill does not remove HPV or any other non-casual contact disease future vaccine from not being included in the student vaccination list needed for school. It creates a philosophical exemption for that type of vaccine. We need you to help us send a message requesting that there be an amendment to the bill that changes wording to not having non-casual contact diseases on the list of vaccinations for school inclusion at all.

House Bills H7576 and H7686

 H7576

Introduced By:

Representatives Roberts, Quattrocchi, Lancia, Price, and Chippendale

This bill is an exact duplicate of the senate bill discussed above.

H7686

Introduced By:

Representatives O`Grady, McKiernan, Price, Roberts, and Filippi

This bill will add the philosophical exemption option for the vaccination program back in for Rhode Island. You can state it is against your feelings of what is best for your family, and not choose to state it is against your religious beliefs.

At this time the bills have not been scheduled for a hearing yet.

TWO call to action Items-

1- Call the Governor and leave a msg if needed. Stating that you “are tired of waiting for her to take action. That the HPV vaccine was added to the school schedule by administrative order and should be removed by her administrative office immediately.”

401-222-2080

2–Send a prewritten email to the members of the house and senate committee in support of the legislation above. Don’t forget to sign the email with your name and address. You will need to send two emails. One to the house committee and one to the senate committee. CLICK HERE

Thank you for your support in this. It takes us all to make this impact together and you are an integral part of that process. Share this message with friends and family to be sure we overload the legislators with contact from the public.

Join Rhode Islanders against mandated HPV vaccinations today.

Hearing is scheduled for March 28th 2018
