Louisiana requires students to submit vaccine information to attend school, even though the licensing and oversight of these products lack basic rigor and accountability. Vaccine manufacturers and physicians carry no liability for vaccine-associated harm; clinical trials lacked true inert placebos; long-term safety and efficacy data are missing; cumulative effects of ingredients and a 72+-dose schedule remain unstudied; and adverse-event reporting is inadequate. Mandates built on these gaps violate informed consent.
Around the world, fewer vaccines and no mandates are the norm. In the U.S., industry-entangled agencies have ballooned the schedule and linked it to school and work. States should be a bulwark against tyranny, yet too often they enable it. Louisiana’s vaccine law has been used to manipulate parents and coerce vaccine uptake.
Has Louisiana’s vaccine law, and others like it, contributed to the chronic disease surge, as indicated by parallel trends and association studies? Data from the Henry Ford Health System and Mawson et al. indicate associations that warrant precaution and further study on cumulative effects of vaccinations.
Medical ethics and the pillars of informed consent demand a halt to medical coercion in the form of public and private mandates. No-mandates policies begin with a simple conviction: medical procedures must never be forced. In a free society, no law or regulation should compel any individual to receive a medical product—whether a vaccine, treatment, or test—as a condition of work, education, travel, or participation in public life.
