The Virginia Freedom Keepers are neither pro- or anti-vaccinations. We support true, all-inclusive informed consent and the ability to accept, delay, or decline any medical procedure or drug (including vaccines) without coercion, penalty, or restrictions on constitutional, inherent rights or individual freedoms.
The COVID-19 pending vaccinations are concerning for the following reasons:
The full list of ingredients from each manufacturer and its respective vaccine has not yet been disclosed. There is a chance that this information may never become available due to proprietary concerns. How can an individual obtain informed consent for a medical product if they do not know what ingredients were used in manufacturing?
Of the known ingredients that have been disclosed, there are concerns with the long-term effects of these ingredients and culturing materials, even in trace amounts.
According to the CDC, there are no current plans to develop and provide a VIS (Vaccine Information Statement) prior to administering the COVID vaccine. A VIS informs recipients of the benefits and risks of a vaccine they are receiving. Why is this important? All vaccine providers are required by the National Vaccine Childhood Injury Act to give the appropriate VIS to the patient (or parent or legal representative) prior to every dose of vaccines.
Even after taking the vaccine, the CDC doesn't know if it will ever recommend stopping mask usage or staying at least 6' away from others. There has been information circulating that the candidates for licensure may only stop symptoms, but not the actual spread of the virus.
To address an expectedly high rate of injury, there is an urgent need for AI software to process adverse reactions.. Per one resource:
The MHRA urgently seeks an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs) and ensure that no details from the ADRs’ reaction text are missed.
Additionally, there are grave concerns about the previous failed candidates for a corona category virus that have resulted in deadly pathogenic immune priming.
At VFK, our main concern is the potential for unconstitutional mandates and social restrictions based on personal, private choices in medical products.
In conclusion, no medicine or medical product is one-size-fits-all, and the warp-speed COVID vaccination is no exception. These private health decisions should remain between a doctor and patient (with full informed consent) and not in the arena of politics and public opinions.
Join over 13,000 Virginians in signing this petition to preserve your right to accept, delay, or decline the COVID vaccine (a medical product unapproved by the FDA).
