Protect those who refuse a vaccine with existing anti-discrimination laws

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I am asking the government to add men & women who chose not to take anyone or more vaccines offered to them to be given protection under law by adding this group to existing anti-discrimination legislation.
On the 14th December 2020 the government stated it had no plans to force vaccinate anyone. Medical intervention should always be consensual. The government also agreed men & women should not be coerced into vaccinating against their will by way of removal of goods & services. Adding this group of people to current anti-discrimination laws would give them protection from unscrupulous corporations & Government agencies ensuring the continuation of freedom of choice.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: Prevent any restrictions on those who refuse a Covid-19 vaccination

While your petition calls for people who refuse Covid-19 vaccines to protected under existing anti-discrimination laws, we believe the request of the above petition has the same practical effect.
