Swine Flu Letter Sent To Parents Says
Children Being Treated As 'Guinea Pigs'
A letter claiming young children vaccinated against swine flu are
"being treated as human guinea pigs" is being circulated
to parents encouraging them to threaten legal action against their
schools.
Irish notaries – generally solicitors who are granted power
by the Supreme Court to officiate documentation – are listed
on the letter and parents are urged to seek their signature before
sending a copy with their child's details to their school.
The Faculty of Notaries Public (FNP) in Ireland has warned its
members that it is being asked to approve the correspondence to
lend it a degree of legal gravitas.
The wording states that the undersigned parent would view the
vaccination of their child as a breach of civil rights.
"Those children who are being injected with the vaccines
are being treated as human guinea pigs," it says. "As
a parent, part of my responsibility to my child is to protect
them from potentially dangerous chemicals or unproven medications
that may cause neurological side effects.
"If my child is subjected to vaccines of any kind without
permission, I will immediately seek legal counsel in an attempt
to hold your school responsible for all long-term medical costs
potentially associated with the vaccine side effects. I will also
sue for violation of my child's civil rights."
Dr Eamon Shanahan of the Irish College of General Practitioners
(ICGP) said that he and colleagues had received copies of the
letter via email, although its origin remains unclear. He added
that the low uptake among parents of young children can be partly
due to concerns over its safety.
"Only 30% of parents contacted in the under-fives have actually
responded to make appointments and the HSE were encouraging them
to make contact," he said. "There is continuous debate
and a certain amount of unfounded fear about the vaccination."
Laois-based solicitor Gerard O'Donoghue, who was listed as a
notary on the letter, said that he had nothing to do with its
circulation nor was he aware of its existence.
