A SYDNEY couple was on the run with their two-day-old baby last night
after the Department of Community Services took out a Supreme Court
order to have the boy vaccinated against hepatitis B.
The parents, from Croydon Park, fled their home on Thursday to avoid
police and DOCS officers after they refused to have their son
vaccinated at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. They told the Herald
yesterday that they believed aluminium in the vaccine could cause him
more damage than contracting hepatitis B. Click here to read the full

Couple flee to avoid vaccination
Notice the subtle change in this article from the one reported in the
Herald. Instead of saying that it is NSW Health Policy to offer Hep B
Immunoglobulin and vaccinations, it says it is the policy for them to
be administered which is not true. That is what is so stupid about his
whole affair. NSW Health policy clearly states that the vaccine and
immunoglobulin should be offered (and I checked with the father
yesterday and they had offered both - not just the vaccine) but that
if the parents refuse, paperwork needs to be filed and that's that.
David Isaacs (do a google search on him in Australia - you will find
some very interesting information on this person) and the
paediatrician at the RPA as well as DOCS are acting outside of and
above the law and they are neither!

A SYDNEY couple are in hiding after the Department of Community
Services (DoCS)
took out a court order to have their three-day-old boy vaccinated
against hepatitis B.
The parents, from Croydon Park, fled their home on Thursday to avoid
police and DoCS officers after refusing to have their son vaccinated
at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
They told Fairfax newspapers they believe aluminium in the vaccine can
cause him more damage than contracting the disease.

Court order to immunise child
Whilst it is true that the mother tested positive to Hep B several
years ago, to say that she suffers from Hepatitis B is wrong. She has
no symptoms of disease as most people who are exposed to this and
develop antibodies to it don't have any symptoms nor will there be any
long-term problems as a result of their antibody status. The lack of
knowledge about this status is shocking!
The New South Wales Department of Community Services has taken out a
Supreme Court order to force the parents of a three-day-old baby to
immunise the child against Hepatitis B.
The Department's caseworkers and New South Wales Police have worked
throughout the night to find the parents and serve them with the court
order. Click here to read the full article
