America’s Frontline Doctors Urge State Legislatures and Congress to Reclaim Dr. King’s Dream by Passing Civil Rights Legislation to Enshrine Medical Freedom into Law
“The greatest civil rights battle of the last 40 years is the fight for medical freedom. If we really want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy, we will reclaim the dream and enshrine medical freedom into law in every corner of the land.” – Kevin Jenkins, Chairman of the America’s Frontline Doctors Oversight Committee
(Las Vegas, NV) – “This week, politicians all over the country will show up to make speeches about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr – as we recognize what would have been his 94th birthday,” said Kevin Jenkins, Chairman of the America’s Frontline Doctors Oversight Committee. “Talk is cheap – and at this critical crossroads in our society, we need more than talk, we need action.”
Jenkins continued, “The greatest civil rights battle of the last 40 years is the fight for medical freedom. If we really want to honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy, we will reclaim the dream and enshrine medical freedom into law in every corner of the land.”
The state of Florida, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis and Republicans in the state legislature, has become ground zero in the battle to make sure medical freedom is protected by law.
In particular, legislation was recently introduced in Florida – thanks to the hard work of Children’s Health Defense Florida and Health Freedom Florida – that would protect against vaccination discrimination.
"Our civil rights is our ability to exercise our freedoms. Its that simple,” said Mo van Hoek, President of Health Freedom Florida and President of Children’s Health Defense Florida. “And when those rights are infringed upon our civil rights are violated! The right of US citizens to have equality and social and political freedom is the foundation of Our Civil Rights and, that right, applies to ALL Americans! Our rights have been and continue to be infringed upon! Every American in this country that stood up to forced vaccine mandates had their civil rights taken from them. When you tell someone, they must be vaccinated or masked to enter a store or a place of employment. Or, when you are denied access to a parent in a nursing home and cannot go in to comfort their family because of your vaccination status you have stripped them of that American of their civil rights. When you tell a child they must get vaccinated or they cannot participate in sports, you have taken away their social freedoms. When you tell a person that they are a treasonous for not taking a vaccine or when a person speaks out against these unconstitutional mandates, they are labeled anti-American you have taken away their political freedoms.”
“Florida's comprehensive vaccination discrimination bill will provide the required protections to ensure every Floridian has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The time is now for this law, and we must speak out and ensure its passage in March,” continued Van Hoek.
“What is happening in Florida is a good first step and should serve as a template for other states and indeed for the entire nation,” said Joey Gilbert, Chairman of the America’s Frontline Doctors Board. “As the father of 12-year-old girl, I worry about the world we are leaving behind for her and for her generation. We cannot sit by and watch the civil rights of average Americans trampled by the greed of big pharma.”
“America’s Frontline Doctors has been and will continue to be the leading voice for medical freedom, and we look forward to working with individuals and groups all across the country to see that the law truly protects every single one of us,” concluded Jenkins.
