  • With round-the-clock media coverage of coronavirus, there is a strong and growing push for Americans to widely accept the impending COVID-19 vaccine \u2014 even though the vaccine is experimental and has known safety concerns. However, the U.S. public is currently divided over whether to get the vaccine. In the latest poll from the Pew Research Center, which surveyed more than 10,000 U.S. adults in September, about half of respondents (51%) said they would definitely or probably get a coronavirus vaccine if it were available today.<\/li>\n
  • Amidst intense public pressure from government and community leaders, there are many people asking, \u201cWill I be forced to get the COVID-19 vaccine?\u201d There are myriad reasons why someone might choose to decline the vaccine. Among the most common are conscientious objections, religious convictions, a history of prior vaccine injury and concerns over safety, including the speed with which the vaccine is being developed and the lack of long-term safety data.<\/li>\n
  • States across the country have drafted COVID-19 vaccination plans that utilize tracking systems, outline incentives to ensure maximum uptake of the vaccine, and identify priority populations to receive the vaccine. A July 2020 Johns Hopkins report urges local and state public health agencies to explore bundling vaccination with other safety net services. \u201cBundling services (e.g., food security, rent assistance, free clinic services) that are already being provided to particularly vulnerable populations in the context of COVID (e.g., older adults, low-income adults, Black and minority communities) could be a way to build trust and streamline vaccine provision,\u201d the report says.<\/li>\n
  • Such programs could ultimately result in the denial of crucial services for those who choose to opt out of the vaccine, thereby stripping individuals of any opportunity to make this medical decision for themselves. Even if the COVID-19 vaccine is not mandated, some states could choose to limit the privileges of those who can\u2019t supply proof of vaccination. This, experts say, is a violation of human rights and constitutional rights \u2014 especially since much of the population is not at risk from harm from COVID but could easily experience harm from a fast-tracked, experimental vaccine.<\/li>\n
  • Under U.S. Supreme Court law, in order to mandate a medical intervention there must be an epidemic that imperils the entire population. According to the CDC\u2019s own data, most people have greater than a 97 percent chance of surviving COVID. In fact, for those under 70, the survivability rate among those infected ranges from 99.5 percent to 99.9 percent. Moreover, the COVID-19 vaccine is not supposed to prevent transmission; it\u2019s merely supposed to lessen symptoms. As such, there is no basis upon which to require the vaccine; it\u2019s up to each person to decide how to care for their own body based on their own judgment and unique physiology.<\/li>\n
  • It is unethical and immoral to mandate an experimental vaccine that has known safety concerns and for which there is no liability. Under the PREP Act \u2014 which was passed in 2005 and invoked in March of 2020 \u2014 vaccine and drug manufacturers, government agencies, doctors and all others are 100 percent free from any and all liability (absent intentional wrongdoing) resulting from harm caused by the coronavirus vaccine. Thus, no one will bear responsibility if you or your family is harmed by the vaccine. Lastly, for those with deeply held religious beliefs (or who lead a pharmaceutical-free life), vaccination violates their convictions to abide by natural law and to walk in faith, not fear.<\/li>\n
  • Stand up for your basic human right for informed consent and to decline a medical intervention! Click below to email and tweet your governor and local lawmakers to urge them to make the COVID-19 vaccine voluntary, not mandatory. Let them know that the only one who stands to profit from the COVID-19 vaccine is the pharmaceutical industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
