Nowadays many colleges/universities and employers are asking for covid 19 vaccination for enrollment / employment. Many families will have to choose between taking the vaccine and keep their job or to not take the vaccine and not be able to provide for their families. This is zhulm on so many levels that I find it unbelievable that there has not been a single Muslim community raising their voice against this zhulm on vaccine free people
I was hoping in this thread that we can help each other to write a religious / philosophical or medical exemption letter for the forced vaccinations.
Even better if some reverend (sheikh) could assist you write religious exemption letter. One letter from your reverend and one personal letter explaining how vaccination goes against your religious beliefs.

Nuremberg code: (1947)
1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.
