More Than 170 Candidates Sign Pledge To Remove COVID Shots From Market

One month before the midterms more than 100 candidates running for public office across the country have pledged their commitment to remove the COVID-19 vaccines from the market.

Americans for Health Freedom host the pledge on its website, inviting public officials including candidates, elected officials and physicians to sign. According to a list on AHF’s website, 169 elected officials, 170 candidates, and 129 physicians/scientists have signed the pledge as of Oct. 1.

However, AHF founder Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, posted an update to X on Tuesday stating that a total of 178 candidates in midterm races had signed.

“I pledge to call for the COVID shots to be pulled off the market,” the one sentence pledge on AHF’s website reads.

“The COVID shots are not safe and not effective. We ask the people we elect to represent and protect us to take a stand and call for these dangerous modified mRNA products to be pulled off the market,” the text above the pledge states.

The website indicates that signers “are published by name so that constituents, reporters, and colleagues can verify the commitment rather than take it on faith.”

A notable signatory to the pledge is Republican Iowa gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn, who is endorsed by MAHA Action and has made his support for the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement an integral part of his campaign.

Outgoing Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who lost his primary race, as well as former Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, also signed the pledge — as did a trio of Republican nominees for safe House seats in Texas: Steve Toth, Jace Yarbrough and Jon Bonck. Laurie Buckhout, who is running for a Democratic-held North Carolina U.S. House seat President Donald Trump won by double digits, signed the pledge as well.

A 12 Point “Physician’s Declaration” is also part of the pledge, signed by an international alliance of over 17,000 physicians and medical scientists.
