By signing, you are joining our mission to uphold basic human rights, constitutional rights and parental rights \u2014 and strengthening a rapidly growing voting bloc of more than 100,000 advocates who stand stronger together. As relevant legislation arises at the federal level or that affects your state, we will send you urgent opportunities to stand.<\/p>\n<h3>How will this petition be used?<\/h3>\n<p>The results of the petition will be shared with policymakers at every level and with the media to amplify your voice. Together we will urge our elected officials to strongly oppose any policy calling for medical mandates, including a mandatory coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n<h3>The Petition:<\/h3>\n<p>As pharmaceutical companies around the world rush to bring a coronavirus vaccine to market, I strongly object to being forced to receive the vaccine when it becomes available. I oppose any government measures that call for coerced or mandated medical interventions, including mandatory coronavirus vaccinations, and I will vote for my representatives accordingly. No pharmaceutical product or procedure should ever be forced, particularly a fast-tracked, experimental vaccine that is free from liability for any harm it might cause \u2014 be it a reaction, injury or death.<\/p>\n<p>I recognize that our officials are charged with safeguarding public health by slowing the spread of infectious disease, but they also took a sworn oath to uphold the civil and constitutional rights of their constituents. One cannot be sacrificed or exchanged for the other. Medical mandates have no place in a free society and violate free, prior and informed consent. As such, <strong>I join the undersigned in urging policymakers at every level of government to immediately reject all calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccinations.<\/strong> <strong>Without health freedom there is no true freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module et_had_animation\"><a class=\"et_pb_button et_pb_button_0 et_pb_bg_layout_dark\" href=\"https:\/\/standforhealthfreedom.com\/action\/say-no-forced-coronavirus-vaccine\/#ocp-form\" data-et-has-event-already=\"true\">SIGN NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_2 et_pb_column_2 first-on-mobile et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div id=\"ocp-form\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_code et_pb_code_0 et_pb_text_align_center\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_code_inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"petitionWidget\" src=\"https:\/\/standforhealthfreedom.nationbuilder.com\/say_no_forced_vaccine\" width=\"100%\" height=\"800\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><i>Your home address information is required from the legislative offices to ensure you are reaching out to your designated representatives.

Authorities now say the only way out is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/04\/13\/coronavirus-cuomo-says-ultimate-resolution-will-be-vaccine-in-18-months.html\">vaccine for all<\/a> along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/116th-congress\/house-bill\/6666\/text?r=2&amp;s=1\">24\/7 tracking and surveillance<\/a>. Bill Gates, a tech billionaire who uses his wealth and status to influence policy, has gone on record saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/04\/24\/bill-gates-were-not-even-halfway-through-coronavirus-pandemic.html\">life will not return to normal until<\/a> we can vaccinate the entire global population against COVID-19. Gates has also suggested that the coronavirus vaccine might become part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gatesnotes.com\/Health\/What-you-need-to-know-about-the-COVID-19-vaccine\">routine newborn immunizations<\/a>. To that end, he is pushing for disease surveillance and a vaccine tracking system that might involve embedding vaccination records into our bodies through <a href=\"http:\/\/news.mit.edu\/2019\/storing-vaccine-history-skin-1218\">quantum dot technology<\/a>.According to Gates, \u201cnormal\u201d may never return to those who refuse vaccination, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(20)31034-5\/fulltext\">the digital vaccination certificate<\/a> he is pushing for might ultimately be required to participate in society. This includes such things as finding or maintaining employment, renewing a driver\u2019s license, obtaining social services, or traveling domestically or abroad. <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>Immunity certificates, microchipping, forced vaccination and the removal of children from their homes are just a few of the draconian measures being threatened in the wake of COVID-19.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In April, the Rockefeller Foundation released a white paper, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockefellerfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TheRockefellerFoundation_WhitePaper_Covid19_4_21_2020.pdf\">National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan \u2014 Strategic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities<\/a>,\u201d which calls for testing and tracing all Americans using a national database connected to other health records. <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>The plan sets aside privacy concerns while requiring your immune status to be validated before entering schools, office buildings, places of work, airports, concerts, sport venues and much more. <\/strong><\/span>It also suggests that weekly immunity testing should be required as a requisite for entering society.<\/p>\n<p>Mandatory medicine is bad policy, as it removes the right of individuals to opt out of vaccination and other medical interventions should they determine that those interventions are not in their (or their child\u2019s) best interest. Mandating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/prep-act-advisory-opinion-hhs-ogc.pdf\">liability-free products<\/a>, including the impending coronavirus vaccine that will be developed and distributed at \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/07\/learning\/whats-going-on-in-this-graph-estimated-time-for-covid-19-vaccine.html\">warp speed<\/a>,\u201d is not only bad policy, it\u2019s reckless. Congress acknowledges that vaccines are \u201cunavoidably unsafe\u201d in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/99th-congress\/house-bill\/5546\">National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act<\/a>. Moreover, a fast-tracked coronavirus vaccine without any long-term safety data renders the men, women and children who receive the vaccine as a part of a mass human experiment, with the only real safety trials coming via the post-marketing surveillance of adverse effects; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2020\/03\/11\/researchers-rush-to-start-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-without-usual-animal-testing\/\">this goes against medical ethical principles<\/a> and further demonstrates the need for full <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>informed consent <\/strong><\/span>prior to vaccination.<span class=\"greenTxt\"> <strong>That\u2019s the only protocol that will enable people to decide whether they want to submit to an experimental vaccine with an unknown risk profile in order to avoid a virus with an estimated 99% or higher survival rate.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As we get closer to the potential rollout of one of the dozen-plus coronavirus vaccines in development, the big question is <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>will the vaccine that has emphasized \u201cspeed over safety\u201d be mandatory? Moreover, <\/strong><\/span>will opting out restrict how you can financially provide for your family, where your children can attend school, if you can renew your driver\u2019s license, or if you\u2019re allowed to cross state lines to visit family?<\/p>\n<p>The United States is a country that was built on principles of freedom of choice and personal responsibility: freedom of economy, freedom of education, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to own property and freedom to vote, among other freedoms.<span class=\"greenTxt\"> <strong>There\u2019s no freedom more important than the freedom to choose how you care for yourself and for your children in a manner that aligns with your personal beliefs. <\/strong><\/span>The ultimate authority to choose or reject any medical procedure, free from threats or compulsion, lies with the individual. Medical bullying and medical coercion have no place in a free country. The right to decline a medical intervention that can kill or injure you is a basic human right, and that right must be upheld.<\/p>\n<p>As such, the government should not impose medical mandates to seek compliance. <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>Medical mandates perpetuate the idea that<\/strong> <strong>individuals lack the moral or intellectual capacity to make sound decisions for themselves and their children, so the state needs to do it for them. <\/strong><\/span>Individuals are capable of making responsible health decisions, and those decisions must take a person\u2019s whole health into account. The health of the individual cannot be forsaken in the name of containing a virus. After all, we can only have a healthy society when that society is made up of healthy individuals.<span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong> Health is a personal right and responsibility. It is not something that we should look to the government to bestow on us or guarantee.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>In addition to protecting public safety, elected officials have an obligation to uphold the civil liberties and constitutional rights of their constituents. One cannot be sacrificed or exchanged for the other<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> <\/span>Sound public health policy is centered on (1) empowering individuals to take responsibility for their health (2) laying a foundation to make that possible through clean drinking water, clean air, a nutrient-dense food supply and health education programs and (3) ensuring that one person\u2019s health is <u>not<\/u> sacrificed for others. <span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>No one should ever have to be collateral damage in a war against infectious disease<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"greenTxt\"><strong>We are committed to STANDING together to change history by supporting public policies that simultaneously promote individual health, public health and health freedom.
