Subject: Exemption from Covid -19 Vaccine without being discriminated.
Respected Sir/ Madam,
I ______________ a respected citizen of India and resident of
___________________________________________________ want an exemption from Covid -19
vaccine without being discriminated from my constitunal rights on the following basis given:
Union of India says Vaccine is Voluntary
1. We respectfully submit that the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on its website
under the heading “Frequently Asked Questions on Covid-19 Vaccine” has stated
that the Covid-19 vaccine is voluntary. The link to the FAQ’s Ministry of Health and
Family welfare (MOHFW) is asunder: Annexure 1.
https://www.mohfw.gov.in/pdf/FAQsonCOVID19VaccineDecember2020.pdf
2. Further in a reply to RTI application dated 9th March 2021 filed by Anurag Sinha of
Jharkhand, the Central Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has stated very clearly
that “taking the Covid Vaccines was entirely voluntary and there is no relation
whatsoever to provision of government facilities, citizenship, job etc to the vaccine”.
The true copy of the RTI reply dated 09.03.21 is attached below.

3. In a reply dated 23rd March 2021 to the RTI filed by Mr. Dinesh Bhausaheb Solanke,
RTI number A.60011/06/2020 -CVAC, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
stated that, “the Covid-19 Vaccine being voluntary, there is no provision for
compensation as of now.” The true copy of the RTI reply dated 23.03.21 is attached below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IUy1g3mgOe4Y_3m3XcJ2rgeEUURQ3Xec/view?usp=drivesdk
4. In a reply to RTI filed by Mr. Tarun, dated 16-04-2021 file number
MOHFW/R/E/21/01536, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, replied to the 1
st
question, “Is Covid Vaccine Voluntary or Mandatory?”, thus: “Vaccination for Covid-
19 is Voluntary”. Further when the applicant asked in his subsequent questions,
“Can any government or private organization hold our salary or terminate us from
job in case of not taking Covid vaccine?” and “Can government cancel any kind of
government facilities such as subsidies, ration and medical facilities in case of not
taking covid vaccine?” the reply was, “In view of above reply, these queries do not
arise”. The true copy of the RTI reply dated 16.04.21 is attached below.

5. Indian Citizens have a right to receive treatment of his choice and
vaccination cannot be forced upon him. Making vaccine mandatory and forcing
upon an individual will be contrary to the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Common Cause Case, where Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that an individual has
right over his/her own body and the right to decide the medical treatment for
themselves.
5.1.The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on its website under the heading
“Frequently Asked Questions on Covid-19 Vaccine” has stated that the Covid-19
vaccine is voluntary. This clearly suggest that as per central government vaccine
is voluntary and not mandatory for individuals in the country.
5.2.India has made the vaccination drive completely voluntary and therefore
(decision of respondent no. 1 to dismiss the petitioner for refusing to take
vaccine) OR ( Refusing to sit for exams, refusing entry into colleges and schools)
OR ( Withholding salary or pension or legitimate dues )is not only contrary to
the guidelines of the Union of India but violative of Article 14 and 21 of the
Constitution of India.
5.3.Several newspaper reports in the country in past months shows that many
deaths and serious adverse events are reported after taking Covid-19 vaccine.
Thus, citizen should be allowed to choose right to treatment under right to lifeunder Article 14 of the
constitution of India and should not be forced to take the
vaccine which can cause adverse reaction.
5.4. Most, if not all, of the mRNA gene therapies/vaccines are in clinical
trials. They are experimental. There is evidence that there has
been significant adverse events and death around the world and
we fear the long term adverse repercussions may cause significant
harms, injuries and loss.
6. Supreme Court of India’s decision in Common Cause v Union of India (2018)
5 SCC 1
A person has a right to choose medication of his choice
6.1. We respectfully submit that one has a right to receive treatment of his choice and
vaccination cannot be forced upon him. Making vaccine mandatory and forcing upon
an individual will be contrary to the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Common Cause Case, where Hon’ble Supreme Court on the while discussing an
individual’s right over his/her own body and the right to decide the medical
treatment for themselves held asunder:
“169. In the context of health and medical care decisions, a person's
exercise of self-determination and autonomy involves the exercise of
his right to decide whether and to what extent he/she is willing to
submit himself/herself to medical procedures and treatments, choosing amongst the available
alternative treatments or, for that matter, opting
for no treatment at all which, as per his or her own understanding, is in
consonance with his or her own individual aspirations and values.
202.8. An inquiry into Common Law jurisdictions reveals that all adults
with capacity to consent have the right of self-determination and
autonomy. The said rights pave the way for the right to refuse medical
treatment which has acclaimed universal recognition. A competent
person who has come of age has the right to refuse specific treatment
or all treatment or opt for an alternative treatment, even if such
decision entails a risk of death. The “Emergency Principle” or the
“Principle of Necessity” has to be given effect to only when it is not
practicable to obtain the patient's consent for treatment and his/her life
is in danger. But where a patient has already made a valid Advance
Directive which is free from reasonable doubt and specifying that
he/she does not wish to be treated, then such directive has to be given
effect to.
306. In addition to personal autonomy, other facets of human dignity,
namely, “self-expression” and “right to determine” also support the
argument that it is the choice of the patient to receive or not to
receive treatment.
517. The entitlement of each individual to a dignified existence
necessitates constitutional recognition of the principle that an individual
possessed of a free and competent mental state is entitled to decide
whether or not to accept medical treatment. The right of such an
individual to refuse medical treatment is unconditional. Neither the law
nor the Constitution compel an individual who is competent and able to
take decisions, to disclose the reasons for refusing medical treatment
nor is such a refusal subject to the supervisory control of an outside
entity;
602. Right of self-determination also encompasses in it bodily
integrity. Without consent of an adult person, who is in fit state of mind,
even a surgeon is not authorised to violate the body. Sanctity of the human life is the most fundamental
of the human social values. The
acceptance of human rights and development of its meaning in recent
times has fully recognised the dignity of the individual human being. All
the above three principles enable an adult human being of conscious
mind to take decision regarding extent and manner of taking medical
treatment. An adult human being of conscious mind is fully entitled to
refuse medical treatment or to decide not to take medical treatment
and may decide to embrace the deathin natural way. Euthanasia, as
noted above, as the meaning of the word suggest is an act which leads
to a good death. Some positive act is necessary to characterise the
action as euthanasia. Euthanasia is also commonly called “assisted
suicide” due to the above reasons.”
Meghalaya High Court rules against Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccination
7. As in the case of PIL No.6/2021 filed by Joannes JTL Lamare versus State
of Meghalaya, in the High Court of Meghalaya, presided by Honourable Mr. Justice
Biswanath Somadder, Chief Justice and Hon’ble Mr. Justice H.S. Thangkhiew, Judge
who passed the order on 23rd June, 2021, overruling the state’s attempt to
mandate vaccinations, by stating the following:
7.1.Vaccination by force or being made mandatory by adopting coercive methods,
vitiates the very fundamental purpose of the welfare attached to it. It impinges
on the fundamental right(s) as such, especially when it affects the right to
means of livelihood which makes it possible for a person to live.
7.2.A notification/order of the State certainly cannot put an embargo and/or fetter
on the fundamental right to life of an individual by stripping off his/her right to
livelihood, except according to the procedure established by law. Even that
procedure is required to be reasonable, just and fair (see Olga Tellis, supra). Till
now, there has been no legal mandate whatsoever with regard to coercive or
mandatory vaccination in general and the Covid19 vaccination drive in particular
that can prohibit or take away the livelihood of a citizen on that ground. 7.3.Therefore, right to and the
welfare policy for vaccination can never affect a
major fundamental right; i.e., right to life, personal liberty and livelihood,
especially when there exists no reasonable nexus between vaccination and
prohibition of continuance of occupation and/or profession. A harmonious and
purposive construction of the provisions of law and principles of equity, good
conscience and justice reveals that mandatory or forceful vaccination does not
find any force in law leading to such acts being liable to be declared ultra vires
(beyond the scope or in excess of legal power or authority) ab initio (from
the beginning).
8. In the Guwahati High Court matter Case No. : WP(C)/37/2020 of In Re
Dinthar Incident versus State of Mizoram and 11 Ors, dated 2nd July 2021,
the Honorable Mr. Justice Michael Zothankhuma and Honorable Mr. Justice Nelson
Sailo, in respect of the following clauses of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
dated 29.06.2021:
Clause 5(2): Persons going outside shall mandatorily cover their faces (with
face mask or other materials). In case of compelling circumstances, only
vaccinated individuals of the family members may be detailed for errands
within and around localities having significant COVID-19 active cases.
Clause 6(1): Only vaccinated individuals should be engaged for manning shops
and stores or undertaking any works. Shop/stores attendants and other
employees should be able to produce proof of vaccination, which will be regularly
checked by the police/LLTF/VLTF/COVID-19 executive duty.
Clause 6(5) - Commercial passenger vehicles (city bus, taxi and two-wheeler taxi)
allowed to resume operation shall mandatorily provide hand sanitizer for their
passenger and they shall not exceed their seating capacity. Only Drivers and
conductors who had been vaccinated should be allowed to operate public
transport.”
Ruled as follows:
It has been brought to our notice that even persons who have been vaccinated
can still be infected with the covid virus and spread it to others. So if vaccinated
and un-vaccinated persons can be infected by the covid virus, and if they can
both be spreaders of the virus, the restriction placed only upon the un-vaccinated persons, debarring
them from earning their livelihood or leaving their houses to
obtain essential items is unjustified, grossly unreasonable and arbitrary.
Clauses 5(2), 6(1) and 6(2) violate Article 14 of the Constitution by discriminating
between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
Clause 6(1) and 6(2) violate the fundamental right of a person to practice any
profession, or to carry on any occupation or trade or business under Article
19(1)(g) and his right to livelihood protected by Article 21 of the Constitution
of India.
Furthermore, Article 19(6) of the Constitution states that restrictions can only be
made in the form of a law and not by way of executive instructions by the State
Government via Executive Orders under the Disaster Management Act, 2005,
curtailing the Fundamental Rights of the citizens that are protected by the
Constitution.
We hold that the restrictions placed upon unvaccinated individuals vis-à-vis
vaccinated individuals in terms of Clause 5(2), 6(1), 6(5), Serial No. 31 & 42 of
Annexure-3 of the SOP dated 29.06.2021 are arbitrary and not in consonance
with the provisions of Article 14,19 & 21 of the Constitution. The said impugned
clauses are interfered with, to the extent that the allowances available and given
to vaccinated persons in the above clauses shall also be made equally applicable
to unvaccinated persons. The State respondents are accordingly directed to issue
a corrigendum of the SOP dated 29.06.2021 at the earliest incorporating the
above directions.
KERALA AND DELHI HIGH COURT JUDGEMENTS
In this context, we wish to place on record two judgements in similar
situations, in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala and the Hon’ble High Court
of Delhi.
9.In the case of WP(C) 36065 of 2017 between the Parents Teachers Association,
Government Higher Secondary School, Kokkur, Kerala and the State of Kerala, the
Hon’ble High Court of Kerala had passed the order:
“If at all any parent has an objection, it has to be necessarily brought
before the authorities, and there need not be any vaccination
administered to such children whose parents object to the
Vaccination”.
10.Also, in the case of W.P.(C) 343/2019 & CM Nos.1604-1605/2019 between Master
Haridaan Kumar (Minor through Petitioners Anubhav Kumar and Mr. Abhinav
Mukherji) Versus Union of India, & W.P.(C) 350/2019 & CM Nos.1642-1644/2019
between Baby Veda Kalaan & Others Versus Director of Education & Others
(Annexure 17)
the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi had observed that:
“The assumption that children could be vaccinated forcibly or without consent is
unsustainable. This Court is of the view that all efforts are required to be made
to obtain the decision of the parents before proceeding with the MR campaign.
In this regard, it would be apposite to ensure that the consent forms/slips are
sent to each and every student. Since the time period for implementing the
campaign is short, the response period should be reduced and parents /
guardians of students must be requested to respond immediately and, in any
case, in not more than three working days. If the consent forms/slips are not
returned by the concerned parent, the class teacher must ensure that the said
parents are contacted telephonically and the decision of such parent is taken on
phone. The concerned teacher ought to keep full records of such decisions
received telephonically. In respect of those parents/guardians that neither return
the consent slips nor are available telephonically despite efforts by the
concerned teacher, their consent can be presumed provided respondent nos. 1
and 2 ensure that full information regarding the commission is provided to all
parents.”
“The contention that indication of the side effects and contraindications in the
advertisement would discourage parents or guardians from consenting to the
MR campaign and, therefore, the same should be avoided, is unmerited. The
entire object of issuing advertisements is to ensure that necessary information is
available to all parents/guardians in order that theycan take an informed
decision. The respondents are not only required to indicate the benefits of the
MR vaccine but also indicate the side effects or contraindications so that the parents/guardians can take
an informed decision whether the vaccine is to be
administered to their wards/children.”
The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi thus passed the following orders:
“MR vaccines will not be administered to those students whose
parents/guardians have declined to give their consent. The said
vaccination will be administered only to those students whose parents have
given their consent either by returning the consent forms or by conforming the
same directly to the class teacher/nodal teacher and also to students whose
parents/guardians cannot be contacted despite best efforts by the class
teacher/nodal teacher and who have otherwise not indicated to the contrary”.
01- Further on the issue of informed consent, the Hon’ble High Court had clearly
directed that:
“Directorate of Family Welfare shall issue quarter page advisements in
various newspapers as indicated by the respondents…The advertisements
shall also indicate that the vaccination shall be administered with Auto
Disable Syringes to the eligible children by Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery. The
advertisement shall also clearly indicate the side effects and
contraindications as may be finalised by the Department of Preventive
Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences”
The above 2 judgements of Hon. Supreme court of India and Hon High
Courts of Kerala and Delhi, clearly states vaccination as voluntary and
with informed consent. These landmark judgments and Government of
India both are saying that vaccination is voluntary.
11.Chances of protection from COVID because of vaccine is 1% published by the Lancet a renowned
science journal
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(21)00069-0/fulltext
12.There have been thousands of cases of deaths and serious adverse events
following vaccination by both COVAXIN and COVISHEILD reported in the
newspapers in India till first week of May 2021. However, the official data shows
that there are only 180 deaths following immunization till March 29th 2021.
Therefore, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between deaths reported in
the newspapers and the official government figure.
13. The below link has a compiled data 2300 deaths as on 22nd June 2021,
newspaper reports reporting deaths alone after administration of vaccine.
This list is updated regularly.

14.The Covid-19 Vaccine provided haven't got full approval instead brought under EUA. These vaccines
haven’t completed clinical trials yet. I and my family don’t consent our body for any kind of clinical
trials. The fact sheets of both vaccines are attached below.

Scientific Fraud with RT-PCR Test
15.The RT-PCR Test takes genetic material from the throat sample that is collected on
the swab, runs it through an enzyme called Reverse Transcriptase to convert the RNA
from the virus into DNA, & then multiplies the DNA exponentially to find if fragments
of the Sars-Cov-2 virus are present in the person or not. Since complete live viruses
are necessary for transmission & not their fragments, the PCR test is not designed
to tell us whether someone has an active Sars-Cov-2 infection or not.
Karry Mullis, an American Biochemist who got the Nobel Prize for his invention of the
PCR technique, said the following about the PCR test: “With PCR, if you do it well, you
can find almost anything in anybody. It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick, & it doesn’t tell
you that the thing you ended up with really was going to hurt you. I’m sceptical that any
PCR test is ever true.”
43.The RT-PCR method of testing has been recommended by ICMR for checking Covid-
19 status since Mar 20201. This testing method is ordered by Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare on 21st March 2020. The basis for using RT-PCR testing around the
world and in India is the publication titled "Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus
(2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR" in Jan 2020 where the authors present a protocol
for detection and diagnostics of 2019-nCoV (now known as SARS-CoV-2, which is the
name given to the virus that is said to be causing Covid-19) 1. This protocol is also
available on WHO website.
A major issue with this publication is that the authors artificially simulated the novel
Coronavirus that closely matched the viral genome sequence (genetic formula) given
by the Chinese authorities. The authors developed clinical samples by using related
viruses (such as the viruses responsible for SARS, MERS and similar respiratory
diseases) from biobanks. The RNA extracted from such artificially created samples
was used to design the RT-PCR test. The authors state:
"In the present case of 2019-nCoV, virus isolates or samples from infected patients
have so far not become available to the international public health community. We
report here on the establishment and validation of a diagnostic workflow for 2019-
nCoV screening and specific confirmation, designed in absence of available virus
isolates or original patient specimens. Design and validation were enabled by the
close genetic relatedness to the 2003 SARS-CoV, and aided by the use of synthetic
nucleic acid technology."
A diagnostic test kit that was designed without the availability of the live pathogen
to be detected cannot be an accurate test.
The RT-PCR test is done by taking a swab sample from the individual’s nose or throat.
In the laboratory, this sample is used to extract the viral RNA (ribonucleic acid). The
RNA then undergoes the RT-PCR technique which creates strands of viral DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA strand is run through several cycles of PCR for it to
replicate itself. The cycle threshold value or Ct value is the number of cycles that it
takes for the DNA to reach a detectable level. An article was published in Oxford Academic – Clinical
Infectious Diseases1on the
correlation between 3790 RT-PCR positive samples and positive cell cultures
including 1941 SARS-CoV-2 isolates. In this study the researchers compared the RT-
PCR test against the gold standard test i.e. viral culture. The researchers found that
at a cycle threshold (Ct) of 25, the RT-PCR test was 70 % reliable, a figure that
dropped to 20 % at 30 cycles, and just 3% at 35 cycles. That meant 97 % were false
positives at 35 cycles. Link: https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciaa1491
Dr. KK Aggarwal, late President of Heart Care Foundation of India, late President of
Confederation of Medical Association of Asia and Oceania, and past president of the
Indian Medical Association, said that if the Ct value is above 24, it is likely that the
persons viral load is really less and that he won’t pass on the infection to anyone
else, and if the value is less than 24 then it is highly likely that they are infectious.
Article link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwj0Iq1DoyA
The testing approach of ICMR is to use RT-PCR cycle threshold (Ct) value of 35, but
this has been proven by the studies comparing RT-PCR test to gold standard to have
97% false positives. The testing approach of ICMR gives an inflated figure of the
number of Covid-19 cases including asymptomatic cases. Website of ICMR1 shows
that they have not published any research papers on the efficiency of RT-PCR tests
nor does their website offers any scientific reasons for their decision to select cycle
threshold value (Ct) of 35. https://www.icmr.gov.in/cpapers.html
An editorial in The British Medical Journal in December, 2020 titled Asymptomatic
transmission of covid-19” 1made these comments:
”It’s also unclear to what extent people with no symptoms transmit SARS-CoV-2. The
only test for live virus is viral culture. PCR and lateral flow tests do not distinguish live
virus. No test of infection or infectiousness is currently available for routine use. As
things stand, a person who tests positive with any kind of test may or may not have
an active infection with live virus, and may or may not be infectious.” Article Link:
https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m4851
According to data from one of the test kits approved by the ICMR called: “TaqMan
2019-nCoV Control Kit v1” by the company ThermoFisher Scientific, it clearly
states: “For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.”
Another Company Altona Diagnostics, whose RT PCR Test Kit has been approved
by ICMR in its published list dated 23/04/2020, says that the kit is not for
diagnostic procedures. The same can be found on the websites of many of the test
kits approved by the ICMR.
According to Public Health England: “RT-PCR detects presence of viral genetic
material in a sample, but it is not able to distinguish whether infectious virus is
present.” Another expert on the PCR & American Biochemist, David Rasnick PhD, said the
following: “PCR is a great scientific research tool; it’s a horrible tool for clinical
medicine. It will generate a huge number of false positives.
To summarize RT-PCR tests are predominantly used worldwide and in India to test for
Covid-19. However, the test inventor, test manufacturers and regulators such as FDA
have said that the test is not intended to be used as the only tool for diagnosis.
Scientific studies have shown that the high Cycle threshold value (Ct) of 35 that is
guided by ICMR, results in 97% false positives. Studies have also shown that positively
tested asymptomatic people have higher Ct values compared to Ct values of positively
tested symptomatic people. Furthermore, the modelling studies used to show that pre-
asymptomatic people are highly infectious during incubation period are flawed. Thus,
when an asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic person tests positive and the person
shows no symptom of illness then, it is fallacious to assume that such a person is
transmitting the virus.
Furthermore, the RT-PCR Test for many cases across the world showed positive at
one time and negative after a few hours, which is impossible. The test proves time
and again that it gives false results, unless its CT value is 24 cycles or lower.
Therefore, falsely declaring uninfected people as COVID +ve via a test that gives 97%
false positives and putting them in treatment wards for other Covid +ve patients is a
complete crime, and in fact, constitutes an attempt to inflict serious harm or even
death from Covid. Furthermore, it causes uninfected people monetary loss and
immense mental trauma, whilst also damaging their family life and their work life.
Worse even is that it creates extreme panic in society of a high number of infected
people, which is completely false. RT-PCR Test run at Ct values more than 24 cycles
are a medical fraud and must be banned.
16.In a RTI reply dated 01/06/2021, to RTI filed by Shri. Manindra Kumar, RTI number
AIIMS/BPL/RTI/HOSP/2021/206, AIIMS Bhopal, stated that, " RT- PCR/ Rapid antigen testing is not
mandatory for everyone in India. It is voluntary." The true copy is attached below.
