The right to refuse vaccinations

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

People should have the right to refuse vaccinations for themselves and their children. The government should allow parents the right to choose what is best for the child and themselves.
The government have been using scare tactics of false covid 19 related death rates to force this new vaccination upon us. The vaccine is untrialed and potentially harmful and should by no means be forced upon society. Parents should have the right to refuse instead of being harassed or scared into doing so and the military should not be sent into schools to intimidate children.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

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.
