The Church Supports the Use of Vaccinations

On March 1, 2015 I wrote a letter to the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding the Church’s vaccination policy (here). On March 21, 2019 I wrote a second letter (here). On April 30, 2019 Elder Weatherford Clayton responded to my second letter. His full letter is posted below (PDF file here). On August 11, 2019, I responded to Elder Clayton with a third letter (here).

Dear Brother Wilcox,

The First Presidency forwarded to me your letter of March 21, 2019 regarding vaccination policy. Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about vaccinations and immunization safety.

As you know, vaccinations have both strong advocates and strong opponents. The rhetoric in the vaccination conversation is filled with firmly held opinions and assumptions. It is my privilege to have been assigned to chair the Missionary Health Services. I assure you that we in the Missionary Department are aware of the concerns that opponents have and honor their opinions though we may disagree with them. To help us with current information about vaccinations, the Public Health Committee has several very experienced physicians who have special expertise in infectious disease regularly review our immunization guidelines and immunization safety.

As you are aware vaccinations are not required for missionary service. I fear this is often misunderstood. If missionary candidates choose not to be vaccinated, they may indeed serve and are assigned to serve in their home country, regardless of the country of origin. This helps protect both the missionary and the population where the missionary might serve.

Diseases that vaccines can prevent can be devastating. In 2017, the most recent year for which estimates are available, measles caused close to 110,000 deaths, mostly in countries that do not have vaccinations readily available. Even in high-income countries such as the US where vaccinations are available, those who contract it run the risk of significant complications that can lead to lifelong disability ranging from brain damage to blindness to hearing loss. Yellow fever, another very dangerous infection that recently had an outbreak in South America, is controlled with vaccinations. Ebola, a disease in west (sp) Africa that has killed thousands, now has a vaccine which has proven effective when it is administered properly.

Thank you for you (sp) letter. I know that President Nelson, who was a medical researcher in cardiac surgery before his call to the apostleship, is a prophet of God. The Lord is revealing His will to His Church through him and the other apostles. The Church supports the use of vaccinations but does not require them to be used. Should the Lord require a change in this direction, I am certain that He will reveal it to His prophets.

Thank you for the clear and compelling explanation of your concerns.

Sincerely,

Weatherford Clayton

Re: Vaccination policy

Dear President Nelson, President Oaks, and President Eyring,

My name is Brett Wilcox. I am a lifelong member of the church, currently living in Sitka, Alaska with my family. Four years ago, I wrote a letter to President Monson and his counselors regarding the church’s position on vaccination (attached). (1)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is well known for its emphasis on protecting the sanctity of the family. The Church is also known for its support of vaccination programs, as evidenced by public statements encouraging vaccination, vaccine requirements for prospective missionaries, and its participation in and funding of international vaccination initiatives.

By linking arms with the vaccine industry, the Church has literally linked arms with the arm of flesh. Nearly all modern vaccines are contaminated with DNA fragments from various animals and from aborted male and female fetuses. (2)

It seems highly unlikely that a loving God would intend to have fetuses harvested, processed, and injected back into the bodies of pregnant women, infants, toddlers, and children. And surely, God did not intend to have His children place their faith in a one-size-fits-all medical intervention based on a (secret) combination of human sacrifice and cannibalism.

Contrary to commonly accepted dogma, vaccines are dangerous. Vaccine researchers—fully aware of this fact—design “safety” studies to hide vaccine injury and death. Rather than compare new vaccines to an inert placebo, researchers compare them to another vaccine, vaccines, or toxic vaccine ingredients, such as aluminum, which scientists routinely use to induce autoimmunity in laboratory rats. The result of these experiments is known beforehand: at least 2% of vaccine recipients in both the test group and the “placebo” group will experience serious adverse events. Researchers write off the injuries as “New Medical Events” unrelated to the test vaccine or to the toxic “placebo.” I repeat for emphasis: Researchers intentionally injure, and sometimes kill, healthy children who would not have been injured or killed, had they been given a legitimate placebo. The FDA licenses new vaccines fully aware that industry “safety” tests are nothing more than scientific treachery. (3)

The ritual of vaccination is an assault on decency, individual health, families, and on the human race. The DNA in vaccines of both fetal and animal origin has the capacity to insert itself into the DNA of vaccine recipients. (4) Vaccines currently in development will intentionally and permanently alter human DNA and the human genome. (5) Consequently, we may be among the last of our species who are fully male, female, or even human.

 The Church cannot defend the sanctity of the family and simultaneously endorse a medical procedure that is altering the human genome, dissolving gender, decreasing fertility, diminishing mental capacity, and multiplying chronic disease and disability. (6) This is especially true in developing countries where people are chronically immunocompromised due to poverty, malnutrition, and unsanitary food, water, and living conditions. Children raised in these circumstances are more vulnerable to the toxins in vaccines, which would explain why researchers in Guinea-Bissau documented that the DTP vaccine multiplied childhood mortality by fivefold. (7)

To the best of my knowledge, various parties have attempted to speak with the First Presidency, in recent years, regarding this issue. None have succeeded. Some have, instead, been granted an audience with the Church’s medical advisors. While appreciated, these meetings have not been helpful. With rare exception, medical professionals know virtually nothing about the ingredients in vaccines, vaccine adverse events, treatment for the injured, or the fact that the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid victims of vaccine injury and death over $4 billion. Few have any interest in learning, perhaps because doing so could cost them their careers.

To illustrate the ignorance and indoctrination of the medical community, please consider a short video titled “Reasons to Immunize,” posted on the BYU School of Nursing’s YouTube channel June 19, 2013. Among several other outrageous and incorrect claims, the video proclaims, “The immune system can handle 100,000 immunizations simultaneously. Seriously, 100,000.” (8) Vaccine doses range from 0.5 ml to 2.0 ml. At the lowest dosage volume, 100,000 vaccines total 50 liters or 13.2 gallons of vaccine solution.  That this kind of propaganda is regularly taught to aspiring medical professionals is evidence of the power of the vaccine industry to shut down critical thinking skills, in even the brightest minds, and it has successfully laid the stage for widespread vaccine injury and death, and denial of the same.

On March 16, 2019, The American Academy of Pediatrics “called for elimination of religious exemptions to vaccination to be the top priority for the year . . . .” (9) Vaccine stakeholders are laying the groundwork to force all people, including the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, and their families to submit to mandatory womb to tomb vaccinations, or give up their right to work, drive, travel, receive an education, or participate in public events. (10) Vaccine-related information is now being censored on the Internet and legislation of the same has been proposed. (11) (12) Vaccine program architects and the organizations they control are clearly archenemies of freedom, agency and humanity.

It is time for the Church to stop deferring to the authority of medical professionals on this issue. It’s also time for medical professionals to stop deferring to the authority of the Church on this issue. It’s time for both Church leaders and medical professionals to listen to the real authorities on this subject: the mothers of vaccine-injured and killed children—the same mothers who placed their faith in vaccinations, because Church leaders and medical professionals advised them to do so. Many of these mothers have spent thousands of hours researching, studying, and networking to understand what happened to their children. Many have successfully healed their children from their vaccine injuries, including autism. More often than not, they are scorned and threatened by their doctors for not “believing science” and are shunned and ridiculed by the Latter-day Saint community for not “following the Prophet.”

Hundreds of members—mostly mothers—have contacted the Church telling the same story: vaccines injured or killed their babies, children, teens, and missionaries. Most of the time, Public Affairs representatives assure callers that the Church has no official vaccination related policy and that members are free to seek out and act on personal revelation. This is encouraging, but insufficient. Private statements to individual callers cannot stand against the Church’s historical and ongoing public support of vaccination programs and initiatives.

It is tragic that the Church has done nothing to protect its members from international cartels that are stripping people of their God-given and Constitutionally-protected religious right to abstain from vaccination. It is shameful that the Church continues to infringe upon the Constitutionally-protected right of its missionaries to abstain from liability-free vaccinations that were brought to market by fraud and treachery. This practice must stop. If not, the Church has a moral obligation to assume full liability for vaccine-induced injuries and deaths. To do otherwise is unconscionable.

It is a disgrace that missionaries are shamed, coerced, and guilt-tripped into submitting to unwanted, liability-free vaccinations. Some are being injected by medically untrained Church leaders, or companions. Medical professionals are shielded from vaccine-related liability. Unlicensed Church leaders or missionaries acting under the direction of their leaders are not shielded. For the sake of the Church and its members, these dangerous and illegal practices must stop.

It is a disgrace that Latter-day Saint elected officials sponsor and advance vaccine-related legislation to limit the agency of their constituents, resulting in increased vaccine injury and death. It is a disgrace that Church medical advisors and educators remain dangerously and willfully misinformed on this topic. It is a disgrace that many members continue to believe that the Lord wants them to inject their healthy children with an ungodly mix of neurotoxins, cytotoxins, carcinogens, fertility inhibitors, fetal and animal DNA, etc.

Our misplaced faith in the salvational value of injected poisons must come to an end. If we don’t stand together now, virtually everyone on the planet will be forced to submit to ever increasing numbers of toxic and heinous formulations intended to alter our very DNA.

Time is running out.

I recommend that the Church’s legal department study this issue closely and take appropriate measures to advance the cause of truth and liberty. And I join with the growing number of vaccine informed people—members and non-members alike—who pray that in your capacity as Church leaders you will recognize the enemy at your doorstep and do everything within your power to protect the human family, religious freedom, and the Church from some of the most wicked evildoers who have ever walked the Earth.

Respectfully,
