BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law not to be
codified in the Oklahoma Statutes reads as follows:
A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Oklahoma
Medical Freedom Act”.
B. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
1. During the years 2020 through 2022, federal government
agencies collaborated with medic al organizations, media
personalities, social media platforms, and other influ ential
entities to orchestrate a coordinated and coercive propaganda
campaign. This campaign was characterized by psychological pressure

and public shaming directed at individua ls who declined COVID-19
vaccinations, coupled with the aggressive suppression of dissenting
views, including those expressed by esteemed medical and scientific
professionals with extensive credentials;
2. This coordinated effort created an environment co nducive to
the implementation of unconstitutional and unethical medical
mandates at federal, state, and local levels. These mandates
disregarded individual autonomy and the principles of informed
consent and due process, which are cornerstones of ethical medical
practice;
3. As a result of these mandates, thousands of Americans in the
public and private sectors, including Oklahoma citizens, were
unjustly terminated from their employment and/or lost retirement
benefits for exercising their right to medical freedom. Many others
were denied access to essential public accommodations, violating
their constitutional rights and creating severe social and economic
repercussions;
4. Emerging peer-reviewed studies and post -marketing
surveillance data have revealed that COVID-19 vaccinations, contrary
to the assertions of the propaganda campaign:
a. provided a substantially lower level of protection
against contracting and transmitting C OVID-19 than
initially claimed, undermining the justification for
their widespread and mandatory administration, and

b. were associated with increased risks t o heart health,
including myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly
in younger populations, as well as potential adverse
effects on fertility, raising significant public
health concerns; and
5. The State of Oklahoma bears a profound ethical and
constitutional obligation to safeguard its citizens from any future
recurrence of coercive medical mandates or campaigns that compromise
the principles of bodily autonomy, medical ethics, and public trust
in health care.
SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified
in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 2010 of Title 25, unless there
is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
A. The right of a person to refuse any medical procedure,
medical treatment, device, vaccine, or prophylactic shall not be
questioned or interfered with in any manner. The right of a person
to public accommodation, to the equal protection of the law, and to
seek restitution for harm shall not be denied or infringed upon
because of the exercise of th e rights contained in this section.
B. Health care professionals, including physicians, nurses, and
allied health providers, shall be protected from any disciplinary
action, loss of licensure, or professional penalties for:
1. Voicing concerns or dissent regarding medical mandates,
treatments, or protocols;

C. State medical licensing boards, professional oversight

evidence, that the action was unrelated to the professional’s
exercise of protected activities under this act.

of the public peace, health or safety, an emergency is hereby
declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and
be in full force from and after its passage and appr oval.
