** CHD Statement Regarding the Millions March Against Mandatory Vaccination
------------------------------------------------------------
Children's Health Defense (CHD) wants to alert our supporters to the following information. We offer this caveat out of an abundance of caution. We are all aware that we are challenging the dominance of a politically powerful trillion dollar industry willing to employ sophisticated tactics to protect its profits.
On August 31, a Facebook group is hosting an event called Millions March Against Mandatory Vaccination (MMAMV). Members of our movement have voiced multiple concerns regarding the integrity and intent behind the Millions March. CHD takes no position on those questions. However, open source research provided to CHD indicates that march organizers have falsely inferred that CHD is affiliated with or is benefiting from the event. Neither assertion is true.
CHD is not a sponsor nor an organizer of the Millions March and is not affiliated in any way with the organizers of the event. Nor will CHD benefit from donations from MMAMV promoters or from merchandise sales as its organizers have implied. Furthermore, Mr. Kennedy will not be in attendance. If anyone has questions regarding who is affiliated with CHD, please visit our website ([link removed]) .
The moment we learned of these specious claims, CHD asked the organizers of MMAMV to remove mention of CHD and the Wisconsin CHD Chapter from their website/merchandise page. Because the march organizers failed to comply, we have sent them a cease and desist notice.
We also remain deeply concerned about a posting by one MMAMV organizer which appears to encourage participants to bring firearms to the event. For these reasons, we do not support the march.
** Chlorpyrifos: Playing Pesticide Politics with Children’s Health
------------------------------------------------------------
By the Children's Health Defense Team
Chlorpyrifos—described by some as “the most dangerous pesticide you’ve never heard of”—is an insect-killing organophosphate. In the U.S., the agriculture industry applies millions of pounds of chlorpyrifos annually to at least 50 major food crops including some of the foods most likely to be consumed by children, such as corn, soy, apples, oranges, strawberries and nuts. Researchers have linked both prenatal and postnatal chlorpyrifos exposure to brain damage even at the lowest detectable doses.
Flagging exposure to chlorpyrifos and other organophosphates as a risk factor for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other developmental problems concerned scientists have been sounding the alarm for quite some time. Yet, despite the substantial body of evidence documenting adverse effects not just on human health but also on wildlife and the environment, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proclaimed on July 18 that it will take no action other than to “continue to review the safety of chlorpyrifos.”

** Critical Action Alert for Wisconsin
------------------------------------------------------------
Please forward this e-mail to friends and family in Wisconsin: you have until Friday, July 26, 5pm to submit comments AGAINST a rule to add vaccines and eliminate a parent’s right to verify chicken pox.
Wisconsin advocates say that if these regulations pass, 7th graders will be required to get a meningitis vaccine and parents will no longer be allowed to confirm that their children had chicken pox, requiring medical personnel to verify it. These rules are another step toward taking away parental choice in medical decisions for their family and YOUR input is necessary to stop additional government overreach.
