Self-exemption ground: I have serious concerns about the as-yet unknown long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines on immune dysfunctions including ADE, auto-immunity, allergy or their potential to induce other complications.
(1.1) In the UK, the NHS has, in my opinion, failed in their duty to give proper information about possible long-term risks, thus negating properly informed consent, in contrast to the FDA, which has added the following caveat to all their covid-injection factsheets.
“These may not be all the possible side effects of the vaccine. Serious and
unexpected side effects may occur. The possible side effects of the vaccine
are still being studied in clinical trials’ (August 2021)
(1.2) Many experts in the field have echoed this caution, a small selection of which are cited in the following paragraphs.
1.3) “Of great concern with this vaccine is the fact that the spike protein can easily enter the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) where it can act as a continuous source of microglial activation and subsequent destruction of brain cells and spinal cord cells. In my opinion, there is a significant risk of inducing chronic neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and especially Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), in individuals receiving these vaccines”

(1.4) "The specific and significant COVID-19 risk of ADE (= antibody-dependent enhancement) should be prominently and independently disclosed, in order to meet the medical ethics standard of patient comprehension for informed consent.”

1.5) “Aside from questions of safety that attend any vaccine, there are good reasons to be especially cautious for COVID-19. Some vaccines worsen the consequences of infection rather than protect, a phenomenon called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). ADE has been observed in previous attempts to develop coronavirus vaccines. To add to the concern, antibodies typical of ADE are present in the blood of some COVID-19 patients. Such concerns are real. As recently as 2016, Dengavxia, intended to protect children from the dengue virus, increased hospitalizations for children who received the vaccine.
Questions also arise around the efficacy of a potential vaccine. The little we know of the current generation of COVID-19 vaccines raises serious questions regarding their ability to protect people from infection. We know all the candidates tested to date in non-human primates failed to protect any of the monkeys from infection of the nasal passages, the primary route of human infection. Failure to protect entirely from infection fits with all we know about attempts to protect monkeys from two other deadly coronaviruses, those that cause SARS and MERS. “

(1.6) “RNA-based vaccine technology could create “new potential mechanisms” of vaccine adverse events that may take years to come to light. Vaccines have been found to cause a host of chronic, late developing adverse events. Some adverse events like type 1 diabetes may not occur until 3-4 years after a vaccine is administered."
“Approving a vaccine, utilizing novel RNA technology without extensive testing is extremely dangerous.” (Immunologist J. Bart Classen MD in his research article published in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases) (source: https://scivisionpub.com/pdfs/covid19-rna-based-vaccines-and-the-risk-of-prion-disease-1503.pdf )
(1.7) “Researchers in The Netherlands and Germany have warned that Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine induces complex reprogramming of innate immune responses. Little is known about the broad effects the vaccine may have on the innate and adaptive immune responses.”

(1.8) On March 18, 2021, Dr. Ryan Cole, a board-certified pathologist and owner and operator of a diagnostics lab, reported thathe is seeing“a massive ‘uptick’ in various autoimmune diseases and cancers in patients who have been vaccinated. the vaccines seem to be causing serious autoimmune issues, in a way he described as a “reverse HIV” response.”

(1.9) “Vaccines currently available have reported known risks including neurological diseases such as transverse myelitis, Bells’ Palsy, multiple sclerosis, autism, and Guillain-Barre. T
The “vaccine” may make you sicker than if you hadn't taken it, especially the elderly.
The vaccine may cause a paradoxical reaction, called ADE Antibody-Dependent Enhancement.
These enhanced antibodies are extremely dangerous to people as they actually help the virus get
into the cell! If the vaccinated person with ADE is later exposed to the virus, they will have a much more serious reaction than if they hadn’t taken the vaccine. Studies show that the elderly may be more prone to ADE.
The previous unsuccessful attempts to create a vaccine against SARS-CoV1, MERS-CoV and
RSV, all coronaviruses, all failed due to this antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE.”

(1.10) “The COVID vaccine can cause enhanced immune response, which creates a worse reaction when exposed to the natural coronavirus. The spike protein is the most dangerous part of the virus (which is in the COVID vaccine) is similar to spike proteins in our bodies, and can open up (not just pass through) the blood brain barrier. This has very dangerous implications for the human body, and why there have been so many adverse reactions to the COVID vaccine.These effects can be devastating to the body, causing a cytokine storm, autoimmune disorders, and neurological problems”

(1.11) As I rely on a wide range of preventative natural and herbal medicines, I have no way of knowing if there might be a serious conflict, since no contraindication studies have been carried out for these experimental vaccines.
(1.12) Given all these valid concerns, together with the appalling history of past medical mistakes and cover-ups, plus the mounting evidence of immediate life-changing injuries and deaths after vaccination, and the absence of any long-term safety data, I decline the offer of a covid vaccination.
