Michael Farris, President, CEO, and General Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has opposed vaccines on Facebook in a piece titled “The Vax Hysteria.”
This is a great example, as very few Christian leaders have publicly opposed vaccines in any way. Hopefully, Farris will encourage more Christian leaders to likewise oppose vaccines, which are destroying lives on a regular basis.
Here are some excerpts from “The Vax Hysteria” by Michael Farris:
Ok, let me reveal my original skepticism about vaccines. One of our daughters was six months old when she was given a DPT. That night her temperature exceeded 106. Her doctor said it was no doubt that it was caused by the vaccine and it was extraordinarily serious.
The second reason I am skeptical arises out of my service at the Chairman of the Virginia Governor’s Task Force on Lyme Disease. Our team had four MDs, three of whom were from the Virginia Department of Health, including the state epidemiologist. After nineteen months of hearings, our final report was unanimous.
We disagreed with the CDC and their professional collaborators. What they deemed to be “settled science” was far from settled and cried out for independent studies not linked to those with a financial stake on the issue (including fear of malpractice).
I became generally skeptical of claims of “settled science” when so much real life experience seemed to suggest otherwise. …
I am never comfortable with an elitist mob telling normal people with real world problems to sit down and shut up because the “science is settled.”
