Re: Doctors and Scientists Support for H.R. 5816, National Informed Consent Exemption (NICE) Act
Dear Congressman Gohmert,
Thank you for your leadership in sponsoring the National Informed Consent Exemption (NICE) Act. We at Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC) have been safeguarding informed consent in vaccination since 2015 and believe that the abolishment of mandatory vaccination laws is long overdue.
In support of NICE, we have numerous educational documents. And, especially as our nation’s children most urgently require protection from COVID-19 vaccine mandates, we’ll share with you here important information from our recent public service announcement (enclosed) about the COVID-19 vaccine for children.
In the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, zero unvaccinated adolescents 12 to 15 years of age suffered a severe case of COVID-19. In contrast, for every 1 case of non-severe COVID-19 in the unvaccinated group, there were 7 cases of severe (grade 3) systemic reactions in the vaccinated group. The clinical trial also found that 1 in about 1,100 vaccinated children 12 to 15 years of age had a grade 4 systemic reaction (fever greater than 104.0° F) that required an emergency room (ER) visit. The reaction occurred within one week of vaccination and led to withdrawal from the clinical trial. Thus, as numerous severe systemic reactions occurred in the vaccine group and yet zero severe symptoms occurred in those children who became infected with COVID-19, there is clearly no scientific justification for mandating the vaccine in this age group.
Please let us know if there are any specific infectious diseases or vaccines for which you need scientific data, such as the MMR vaccine. We applaud and support NICE, so please call on us should you require any assistance.
Sincerely,
Shira Miller, M.D.

Are Vaccine Mandates Science-Based?
