Subject: Written Testimony for Committee Hearing on Public Health Oppose H.2370 and S.1515, H.2228 and S.1398, H.2276
Dear Joint Committee members,
My name is [NAME] I am [A PARENT/A CITIZEN ETC.] of Massachusetts. I am writing to ask you to Oppose Bills:
H.2370 and S.1515 An Act effectuating equity in COVID-19 vaccinationH.2228 and S.1398 An Act relative to the immunization registry andH2276 An Act to ensure data transparency and vaccine equity in the administration of COVID-19 vaccine doses throughout the Commonwealth
Before we go door-to-door or create a registry or daily vaccination report website let’s look at Pfizer’s and Moderna’s own risk statements for safety and efficiency.
Physicians for Informed Consent has published Pfizer’s and Moderna’s own risk statements which make it impossible and unethical to coerce anyone to take a COVID-19 vaccination. It is urgent that you read both of these documents in full.
A few highlights from Pfizer:
“Moreover, per the FDA, there are currently insufficient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in subpopulations such as pregnant and lactating individuals, and immunocompromised individuals. And, because all subjects were observed for only two months, the long-term safety of the vaccine for any age group is not known.”
“For children 12 to 15 years of age, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial found the overall incidence of severe adverse events during the two-month observation period to be 10.7%, or 1 in 9, in the vaccinated group and 1.9% in the unvaccinated group, resulting in a vaccine risk of 8.8% or 1 in 11 vaccinated children.”
“The extent to which the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is effective and safer than COVID-19 is not known.”
“The vaccine may be only 53% effective in subjects 65 to 74 years old and 0% effective in subjects 75 years or older.”

A few highlights from Moderna:
“Since only 10 hospitalized cases and one death of COVID-19 were observed, the clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to accurately measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent hospitalizations or deaths from COVID-19.”
“Safety and efficacy data was not collected for children younger than 18 years old”
“Severe adverse events in the vaccine group occurred in 1 in 50 subjects between 18 and 64 years old and in 1 in 59 subjects 65 years or older in the Moderna clinical trial. Those subjects were unable to perform normal daily activities for more than seven days and required medical attention. Furthermore, for people 18 to 39 years of age, the clinical trial did not include enough subjects to be able to show that the vaccine is safer than the disease, and because the clinical trial observation period lasted only two months, the incidence of long-term side effects from the vaccine for any age group is not known.

If that is not enough:
“U.K. warns against giving Pfizer vaccine to people prone to severe allergic reactions,” CBS News, December 2020 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-vaccine-pfizer-shot-uk-warning-people-with-history-of-significant-allergic-reactions/
Dr. Tal Brosh, head of the Infectious Disease Unit at Samson Assuta Ashdod Hospital, Israel has stated:
“there are unique and unknown risks to messenger RNA vaccines, including local and systemic inflammatory responses that could lead to autoimmune conditions” “Could mRNA COVID-19 vaccines be dangerous in the long-term?”

It is your duty as a member of the Committee on Public Health to protect the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from coercive employer, school, travel, or commerce requirements to take a risky LIABILITY-FREE injection for a virus that has a 99.6% survival rate.
We should not be going door-to-door pushing this potentially dangerous injection on people of the Commonwealth, tracking them in a registry, or sharing their private medical information with health plans. If someone would like to receive the COVID 19 injection they are readily available. Sadly people are not be given any of the information shared above so they can make an informed decision. Please OPPOSE these bills.
Thank you,
