​EXPOSED: Video Proves Doctors Won’t Recognize Vaccine Injury, Write Exemptions

A new video by Advocates for Physicians’ Rights (AFPR) has now confirmed the concerns of many families regarding the absolute abandonment from the medical community when seeking a valid medical vaccine exemption for their child. The video paints the reality of a shockingly dysfunctional California medical system where parents of children in need of a medical exemption are denied, during their initial phone call, by secretaries who tell them that the doctors refuse across the board to write medical exemptions.

The video reveals what amounts to unethical, non-public, standing orders within the offices of over 800 physicians to refuse issuance of medical exemptions for a valid health condition. The condition, as told to the physician’s offices, was that of a anaphylactic reaction from a vaccination which is recognized by medical literature, regulatory agencies and law as meeting the standards of care to receive exemption status. The video also shows that the mother making the calls was denied on the spot and unable to make it past the call screener in order to even have her child be seen and evaluated by a physician. 

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, who sets vaccine policy in the U.S., lists anaphylaxis under the heading  “Contraindications and precautions to commonly used vaccines.” In a 2018 commentary published in the American Academy of Pediatrics Journal Pediatrics by SB276 author Richard J. Pan and law professor Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, the pair argued that “physicians are fulfilling an administrative role” and that the granting of medical exemptions are “not the practice of medicine but a delegation of state.”
 
The reasoning the authors gave for their statements, and the subsequent SB 276-like laws which would implement their ideology was that, “because physicians already evaluate patients for existing health conditions and can identify which of their patients warrant medical exemptions.”

However, the recent AFPR video shows that parents seeking valid exemptions can’t even get in the door, let alone have their child evaluated for health conditions that warrant a medical exemption by a physician. 

The disconnect between policy and reality was revealed when brought up at the recent SB 276 Senate hearing. Richard Pan, the bill’s author, was asked by Senator Shannon Grove (R) Bakersfield who opposed the bill, what would constitute a medical exemption. After dancing around the question, which earned protest from the crowd, Pan stated, “If your childs had an anaphylactic reaction or is allergic, or is allergic to a component of vaccine, that would earn you a medical exemption.”
