A
New York State school has terminated the rights of a child to attend
classes solely on the basis of being unvaccinated. This despite the
advice of her Physician who stated that it could kill her. A devout
Catholic mom has now filed a lawsuit against the State government. Read
her story:
Mary
is almost six and a half years old, and she enjoys going to school,
dancing, singing, swimming, and playing with her sister and friends.
Today I looked at her beautiful face smiling while she was playing with
her dolls, and I can’t believe how far we have come since the day she
was born and how blessed I am to call her mine. At first glance, you
wouldn’t know the battles that she has been through.
When Mary was
born I didn’t know what ingredients were put into vaccinations, just
like most parents. I was brainwashed into thinking that I must vaccinate
my child since this is what U.S. social norms say that we as parents
are supposed to do for our children. So Mary was vaccinated like every
other typical newborn in this country. After each vaccination, she would
have a negative reaction. At that point, the medical professionals did
not know what was wrong with her, but looking back now we know that it
was two DTaP vaccines that she received on July 9th, 2007 and August
13th, 2007.
She ended up being completely overwhelmed with thrush
and intestinal yeast toxins after it had nowhere else to go in her tiny,
little less-than-five-pound body. Mucus was leaking out of her eyes,
vagina, and her rear end was red like it was put over a flame of fire.
My daughter was not absorbing her nutrients, and she wasn’t growing. On
the way home from a vaccination appointment, when she received her
Comvax immunizations on August 29th, 2007, Mary was crying and nothing
would console her. Her same symptoms came back that she experienced from
her DTaP vaccinations. The combination of yeast and negative organisms
ended up causing a double ear infection as well.
The doctor had
prescribed her a compounded suppository antibiotic because that is the
protocol for healing an ear infection in NY State, but, in Mary’s case,
it was a disaster and caused more damage to her immune system -- just
like every other unnatural substance that was given to her. We
administered the medicine to her at home as instructed, but less than
twenty seconds later Mary went into anaphylactic shock. She started
vomiting, convulsing, water was pouring out of her rectum, and her eyes
rolled into the back of her head. Everything was happening so quickly, I
couldn’t reach the phone to call 911. My first reaction was to cry out
to the Lord, “In the name of Jesus, save my baby!” All of a sudden, the
vomiting stopped and the color came back into her face. Her eyes were
looking at us, she was breathing normally and a peace and calmness came
over her. The only one who could save us and rescue Mary so swiftly
during that crisis was Our Heavenly Father, and that is just one of the
many miracles that my family has experienced through the Lord, Jesus
Christ.
After years of testing and treating her, we now know that
she has an overactive immune system. Due to Mary’s overactive immune
system, she cannot tolerate any preservatives or artificial ingredients.
Mary has a severe gluten sensitivity and is allergic to casein, etc.
She is on an all-natural diet, and on a strict regimen to help support
and strengthen her gastrointestinal tract and immune system. Dyes,
preservatives, and unnatural substances all make her violently sick. She
is brave and remains strong through her struggles because of her faith
in God and the positive people that are put in our path. We are all very
proud of her.
In 2010 we applied for a religious exemption from
vaccinations and were guaranteed by the director of the school that
everything was set and she would be able to attend school because of her
religious exemption. In 2012, Mary’s health took a turn for the worse
and, after being hospitalized, our family doctor told me that Mary
qualified for a medical exemption. He said that vaccination would
compromise her immune system and stated that “It is my medical opinion
that Mary Check cannot tolerate any insults, in even the slightest
amounts, to her immune system without putting her at risk for
anaphalaxis, which include, vaccines, medications, and certain foods.”
Still with the religious exemption in place, I didn’t think it was
necessary to apply for a medical exemption as well, just yet, since I
was told that the religious exemption was acceptable. When Mary entered
kindergarten, I spoke with the principal of the elementary school and
told her about my medical and religious exemptions, so she could get to
know Mary’s situation. I told the principal that I would be using Mary’s
religious exemption, but I also gave her my medical exemption
application to put on file as well, because I was new to the public
school system and didn’t know what they needed. I trusted the school
system and they failed me. In October, that medical exemption
application that I did not want to be filed was mysteriously handed into
the Board of Health. In fact, I did not even apply for a medical
exemption. The medical exemption application resulted from a clerical
error. I was told that I would be able to proceed with a religious
exemption, but, when I went to the school to address the situation, it
was too late.
I was denied within 24 hours of application. Even
though this medical exemption was not meant to go through at this point
in time, Mary was denied her medical rights and she was kicked out of
school. I was accused of trying to skirt around my denied medical
exemption by applying for a religious exemption; the fact that I applied
for a religious exemption in 2010 was completely ignored. I had to go
to federal court to prove that my religious exemption was legitimate and
to sue the Board of Education. My daughter’s medical issues are what
made me pick up my Bible and read it every day and drew me closer to my
beliefs that God made the body perfect and pure, and I don’t want to put
any impurities into her body based on my deepest truths, which comes
from the word of the Lord.
While I believe that doctors are here
to help heal the sick and I value their place on this earth, I do not
have blind faith in medical professionals. They are human beings, and we
are told by the Lord that we are not to put our complete faith in
anyone else but Him. I respect my pediatrician’s advice, but,
ultimately, I have to base my informed decisions on my own research, my
faith, and my instincts as a parent. I get a diagnosis from the doctor
and it does not go ignored. We work together on treating Mary to suit
her needs. I have researched what poisons are put into these
vaccinations, and I do not believe that it is God’s will to put them
into our bodies. Immunizations contain unnatural substances that are
injected into the bloodstream.
Winning this case will set new case
law, but I am completely financially depleted in my battle, and I need
your help in this fight for freedom. Mary represents the many children
in the United States in need of legal representation to protect their
health and safety. In supporting Mary’s choice, you are supporting
parents’ and doctors’ rights to choose what is in the best interest of
their children and patients. Whether or not you are pro-vaccination or
pro-vaccination choice, this cause deals with the right of a parent to
choose or refuse what vaccinations are given to their children. All
parents should have the right to choose what kind of medical treatment
their children should receive, and, if a person has religious beliefs
contrary to a medical treatment, our constitutional right to the free
exercise of religion should be protected and not subject to the review
of one person, as it is in the New York City Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene.
What touched me so close to my heart is when
Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center
(NVIC) said, “We as parents, who know and love our children better than
anyone else, we by U.S. law and a larger moral imperative, are the
guardians of our children until they are old enough to make life and
death decisions for themselves. We are responsible for their welfare,
and we are the ones who bear the grief and the burden when they are
injured or die from any cause. We are their voice and, by all that is
right in this great country and in the moral universe, we should be
allowed to make a rational, informed, voluntary decision about which
diseases and which vaccines we are willing to risk their lives for
without fearing retribution from employees of the state.” Argue with us.
Educate us. Persuade us. But don’t track us down and force us to
violate our moral conscience and beliefs, or criticize our doctors’
professional opinion in the medical approach they choose to take,
putting the best interest of their patients first.
On
October 10th, 2013 Support Mary’s Rights will be hosting a fundraising
dinner and dance at Li Greci’s Staaten to help not only raise money to
support the Mary’s legal efforts in her fight against the New York Board
of Education and the Supreme Court but also to raise awareness about
the vaccinations parents and doctors are forced to give to their
children and patients, regardless of the ingredients or harmful affects
they may cause.
Support Mary’s Rights would appreciate your
charitable contribution. A monetary donation or donated gift
certificates or items to raffle off would truly help this very unique
and special cause. I need my voice to be heard for myself and other
families who are suffering from similar experiences where the government
is trying to tell us what we mandatorily have to put into our bodies.
Our faith as parents leads us to take physical, spiritual, and mental
responsibility and make decision for the health and well being of our
children. The government is trying to take away these rights as parents.
Come to our fundraiser and share your stories with us. We would love to
hear them and to support you as well! Buy a table and support us at:

In
return for your generosity Support Mary’s Rights will be printing the
names of each business involved in our Support Mary’s Rights program
booklet. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog post. We hope
you consider making a donation/ contribution. If you have any questions
