Prohibiting Mandatory Vaccinations Without Informed Consent and Risk Disclosure
This bill aims to prohibit the federal government and federally funded entities from mandating vaccinations or infectious disease testing without a citizen's informed consent. Citizens would gain the right to decline vaccination without facing penalties in daily life, such as job loss or denial of services. This introduces new rules regarding health freedom and potentially impacts national health policy.
Key points
Citizens gain the right to decline vaccination or infectious disease testing without penalties, including loss of employment, education, or public services.
Written disclosure of all known potential risks from a vaccine and physician consultation are required before voluntary informed consent for vaccination.
The act prohibits discrimination against individuals who refuse vaccination and prevents the implementation of vaccine passports.
Exceptions are made for incarcerated individuals, individualized court orders, and federal, state, and local emergencies with presidential authorization.
Mandates an independent evaluation of the CDC vaccination schedule and COVID-19 vaccinations by a special commission to assess risks of disability and death.
