PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL
Dear,
I write to you as a concerned parent and local citizen in relation to the forced mandatory vaccination program currently being rolled out in Australia for all teachers and educators. I have been told that they are receiving correspondence that unless they have the Covid vaccine they are unable to return to work.
Is this true? That they are required to provide evidence that they have been injected with a Covid-19 vaccine to continue their employment. Isn't this a breach of the Biosecurity Act 2015 and the Privacy Act as well as Section 51 of the Australian Constitution? And their basic human rights over their bodies? I find this request extraordinary since there is no substantiated scientific evidence that shows the vaccine is safe, effective or necessary. I cannot comprehend how this would be a requirement of them fulfilling their jobs. There is no proof that this vaccine is safe for their long-term health. It is appalling that teachers must lose bodily autonomy just to make a living.
After the announcement was made by the NSW Premier, I noticed an online petition on change.org. To date it has been signed by over SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND concerned community members, parents and teachers. You can see the petition here https://chng.it/Y8TkkgC6
In July 2021, Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a statement to the media and Australia concerning informed consent. In this statement the PM made it clear that in Australia:
“ …we are all responsible for our own health …that in our country, ‘people make their own decisions about their own health and their own bodies AND THAT IS WHY WE DON’T HAVE MANDATORY VACCINATIONS … ”
I find it extraordinary that in a free and democratic society such as Australia, professionals are being bullied and coerced into taking a vaccine, otherwise they can't earn a living. I must make this point that I am not "anti-vax" as some in the media are so harshly calling us. But I do believe teachers (and all citizens) have the right to decide what invasive medical procedures they have, free of intimidation and harassment.
The fact that teachers within your school have had the vaccination does NOT protect your STUDENTS. The vaccination is there to protect the INDIVIDUAL. Vaccination should not even be a considered factor in a return to school grounds. As a concerned citizen and parent, I do not agree with mandatory vaccination for teachers. Nor should you, as a school principal, be supporting this.
Be on the right side of history. I have also sent my concerns on to the Education Minister. But I think it is important that school principals fight for the rights of their teachers. Your teachers give so much to the children that they teach. Please stand up for your staff. As a concerned citizen and parent, I urge you to oppose this unethical and unconstitutional mandate.
I trust that you will pass my concern on higher within the educational association. Sadly, the teaching profession will now stand to lose exceptional, quality teachers due to this mandate. I hope you have a voice in turning this around.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my concerns.
Yours faithfully
