Covid-19 Vaccine Being Rushed to Market for November Election
Vaccination Will Be Biggest Healthcare Decision Americans Ever Make; National Health Federation Introduces Code-Of-Federal Regulations-Compliant Vaccine Consent/Refusal Form

According
to news sources at least one COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine may be
licensed by the Food and Drug Administration before the November 2020
election.
The
decision to vaccinate will likely be the biggest healthcare decision any
American will ever make in their lifetime. Will Americans voluntarily
line up and get immunized against the COVID-19
coronavirus? The vaccine
will have been rushed to market. All of its side effects won’t be
known till millions of Americans have been vaccinated.
The
National Health Federation teams with investigative health journalist
Bill Sardi to introduce a regulatory-compliant consent form that will
help protect consumers from any pitfalls in the vaccination process.
Title 21
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) states that Americans in a
clinical study must give their written consent to any medical treatment
such as vaccination. Since vaccines gain licensure from the FDA by
passing through 3 out of 4 safety trials, the side effect ratio is
never truly known till the vaccine is used widely by millions. All
Americans who receive the vaccine will still be enrolled in surveillance
studies (Stage-4) and subject to the CFR protections.
According
to Title 21 of the CFR, informed consent requires candidates for
vaccination to be given the right to refuse vaccination; have the right
to confidentiality (privacy) that their vaccination data will not be
shared with other parties without their consent; and have the right to
know if there are any alternatives to vaccination.
Furthermore,
any American considering vaccination for COVID-19 coronavirus should
avoid signing hold-harmless clauses in consent forms because important
rights would be waived should malpractice occur. Vaccination of
individuals who are at high-risk to develop side-effects and are less
likely to positively respond to vaccination may not be good candidates
for immunization.
COVID-19
vaccination will likely be voluntary in the beginning, and mandatory
thereafter, just as State and Federal government health agencies did
with social distancing, face masks and quarantine. Manufacturers of
COVID-19 coronavirus vaccines are producing a quantity of vaccines for
the entire population.
There are
many other things that informed consent should reveal to those who are
considering immunization, such as the name and production lot number of
the vaccine and the estimation of the numerical chance of benefiting
from vaccination (i.e. how many need to be vaccinated to prevent 1
infection or prevent 1 death). Furthermore, those who are vaccinated
should always be given a copy of the consent form to take home.
One report indicates availability of a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 was important to 68 percent of Americans surveyed.
The
COVID-19 Vaccine Consent/Refusal Form is available from Knowledge of
Health Inc. Proceeds go to the National Health Federation vaccine
rights defense fund and the libertarian website LewRockwell.com. Two copies of the 18-page consent form available for $12.95 (shipping included). The consent form can be ordered online at www.covid19consent.com or
by sending a check or money order for $12.95, payable to Knowledge of
Health, 1502 Foothill Blvd, Suite 103, La Verne, CA 91750.
