A well-designed poll about medical freedom revealed the truth: An overwhelming majority are astoundingly supportive of medical freedom and the right to choose what happens to our bodies and those of our children.

🔥NOTE: Idaho’s H808 - Medical Mandates bill to stop medical mandates is currently stalled in House Health & Welfare committee.

This bill:

• Protects medical decision-making rights for all Idahoans, including healthcare workers.

• Repeals school and daycare code that conflicts with existing medical freedom law.

• Changes the immunization registry from automatic enrollment after each doctor’s visit to parental opt-in.

What is Health Freedom?

Health freedom includes clean air and water, over-prescription of drugs to children, pesticide use, dangerous food additives, legal immunities for vaccine manufacturers, and doctors' free speech.

Mainstream Media and Polls Biased + Broader Implications

Major media, polling groups, and strategists claim low support for medical freedom and deem it bad politics, citing polls by established groups. But mainstream polling typically uses biased questions and an anti-health freedom agenda.

The new Zogby poll was commissioned to address controversies using objective questions.

Mandate support has been eroding since 2019, largely because COVID measures showed just how evil medical mandates could be and eroded trust in public health figures (28-35%).
