Does AMA Oppose Mandatory Vaccination ???

According to this report, the American Medical Association is fundamentally and unambiguously opposed to mandatory vaccine programs in America:

A mandatory vaccination policy — forced vaccination of unwilling recipients — is, by definition, a medical intervention carried out without the consent of the patient or the patient’s parents. This directly violates the very clear language in the Informed Consent section of the AMA Code of Medical Ethics which states:


"The patient should make his or her own determination about treatment … Informed consent is a basic policy in both ethics and law that physicians must honor, unless the patient is unconscious or otherwise incapable of consenting and harm from failure to treat is imminent."

The AMA’s Code of Medical Ethics statement is very clear: “physicians must honor” the policy of informed consent. In fact, the AMA describes this as “a basic policy in both ethics and law” and only makes exception if the patient “is unconscious” or if harm from failure to treat “is imminent.”


Mandatory vaccine interventions are conducted in total violation of this code of ethics. Most unvaccinated children are in a state of perfect health, with no symptoms and no active disease. There is no “imminent” risk of harm from “failure to treat.”

Ain't that a fine kettle of fish !!!


Of course, if the MSM or the CDC put them on the spot, I'll bet the AMA would cave on this issue ... just like they did on abortion.


Update: Here is an opinion piece in The New York Times by a pediatrician who argues against parents having a say in whether or not their children are vaccinated:

Dear Dr. Offit: On a somewhat related matter, what would Jesus do about the way Israel is treating Palestinian children? I think I read somewhere that they killed more than six of them, a lot more, and also have deprived them of the opportunity to be vaccinated against polio:

By your logic, shouldn't the international community invade Palestine, make these children wards of the state, and vaccinate them? Or should we just allow Israel to deprive them of vaccines because they apparently think that's what G-d wants them to do?
