What is Right to Refuse?
Preserve Your Fundamental Right to Make Health Decisions Through Protective Legislation
Right to Refuse is a national campaign to help you pass laws in your state to protect your health and medical freedom.
As Americans, we have long enjoyed health freedom and our inalienable rights of bodily autonomy and self-determination. It is time to ensure we each as individuals remain free from coercive measures or bodily interventions to which we do not consent.
In today’s world of technological advances and government expansion, our inalienable rights need immediate protection, including the right to refuse unwanted treatments, tracking, and interventions.
Join the Right To Refuse Campaign
The time is now!
Become a participating organization or find a group in your state to help protect health freedom, even in times of emergencies.
In the past several decades, broad laws have been passed in many states that give state government expansive powers in the case of a health emergency or bioterrorism emergency. Don’t let those laws take away your freedoms now. Make your laws reflect what you want America to look like! Change your laws if necessary!
What is a Right to Refuse bill?
Right to refuse bills come in all shapes, sizes and lengths! A Right to Refuse bill affirms and protects the fundamental right of bodily autonomy and integrity, prohibits the invasion of a person’s body without their consent, and prohibits coercion being used as a tool to gain consent.
Right to Refuse bills can range from being very broad such as:
- an affirmation of a fundamental right and prohibiting coercion,
or more narrow, for example:
- a bill to prohibit testing, masking, medical interventions or treatments during an emergency;
- a bill that prohibits the requirement of an immunity passport before commercial transactions or travel can be commenced; or
- a bill prohibiting employers from requiring employees to have a particular medical treatment including a vaccine in order to be employed.
Regarding vaccines in particular, in addition to the bills listed on the Right to Refuse website, there are bills on the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) website. NVIC has worked for many years to protect legal exemptions that are available for childhood school vaccination schedules including protecting religious, conscientiously held belief, and medical exemptions. NVIC works against the erosion of parental, civil and human rights when it comes to vaccine mandates that affect our right to an education, employment, receipt of health insurance and medical care, entrance into a hospital or nursing home, and ability to function in society. NVIC’s advocacy portal provides up to date information about bills in many states dealing with vaccines.
Right to Refuse Laws Include:
- The right to refuse a countermeasure during emergencies and disease outbreaks is protected including the right to decline: medical treatments or procedures; testing; physical or mental examination; vaccination; experimental procedures and protocols; collection of specimens; participation in tracking or tracing programs; the wearing of masks; the maintaining of measured distance from other humans and animals that is not otherwise unlawful; the involuntary sharing of personal data or medical information; and other recommended or mandated countermeasures.
- Coercion may not be used against a person who chooses to decline countermeasures such as restricting their access to necessary and important services and lifestyle choices.
- In the event a person needs isolation or quarantine, that it be in the least restrictive means possible.
- A person must be notified of their right to refuse in writing and by having their rights read to them out loud and a signature of acknowledgment of receipt of notification must be obtained.
