Issue
Religious Freedom? RFK Wants to Know!
Details
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is asking if informed consent and religious freedom belong in federal vaccine policy. Tell him yes. This is the first time HHS has EVER asked for public comment regarding these two topics! Here’s the link to the full document. What we’re zeroing in on under “Considerations in Setting Recommendations” is D 14, re informed consent and religious freedom.
Positions to consider including in your comment to HHS:
The U.S. immunization schedule issued through HHS is a recommendation. Categories on that schedule must never be written, labeled, or implemented as if they were mandates.
Full informed consent comes first. After the information is given, the person — parent or guardian — chooses the course of treatment.
