Do you believe you have a right to refuse medical treatment? Now is the time to act.

In a democratic and free society most people actually believe that “Bodily autonomy is an essential unconditional liberty.” This is why NZTSOS is appealing the ruling that denied the rights of educators to refuse medical treatment. It was ruled that it was justified under the vaccine mandates at the time they were in place.

We are under no illusions, the chances of winning the appeal are not high. However, we believe, like many other New Zealanders, that they simply just got it wrong. This is our legal avenue to give a strong nationwide voice to that cry.

The vaccine mandates may have been temporarily lifted in the education sector but unless the law of New Zealand upholds the absolute right to refuse medical treatment, at any time this government or successive governments may decide that forced medical treatment on whole sections of the population are justifiable solely on the advice of the Director General of Health.

“If you don’t own yourself absolutely, you own nothing” to quote a human rights activist’ says Mike Shaw. “This appeal is an opportunity to give a voice to all those New Zealanders who do not believe that the Government has the right to inject them with a vaccine whenever they say or suffer the consequences of loss of job and treatment as a second class citizen.”
