Say NO to a mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus in the UK
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Government should forbid anyone forcing UK citizens who have reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, Government should forbid anyone trying to vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians.
Our so-called "public health experts" have got it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination. Whilst some NGO’s such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contest that life will not return to normal until people are widely vaccinated - their views and opinions should not be permitted to influence policy making decisions here in the UK on a coronavirus vaccination program.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
It is already against the law for people to be required to undergo medical treatment, including vaccinations. The Coronavirus Act 2020 has not changed this.
