Is it legal to sell &#39;Vaccine Control Group&#39; ID cards stating the holder &quot;must not be vaccinated&quot;?
<p><a href="https://vaxcontrolgroup.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a> is an independent group called the 'Vaccine Control Group' selling ID cards stating they &quot;must not be vaccinated.&quot;</p>
<p>Is the sale of these cards from legal standpoint, well, legal? Are businesses required to follow what these ID cards say?</p>

<p>Businesses are not required to do what the card says, they are required to do what the card-holder says, to the extend that what the card holder says relates to giving or denying consent to be vaccinated. Since they don't vaccinate people who are unconscious, consent will always be directly obtained from the patient and the card has absolutely no effect. Also, control subjects are selected at random and the subject does not know what group they are in. Possession of such a card therefore has zero scientific effect.</p>

<p>This as such is just an organization that tries to keep a control group of unvaccinated people, which, for scientific reasons, does make sense. If you donate them some money for it, your decision. But I see no hint that this card would have any legal impact. If you work in some place/profession that requires you to be vaccinated (e.g, as of now, medical personel in france), this card won't help you avoid it. And of course, in no way would it safe you from regular tests, if these are required in your country.</p>
<p><strong>Edit after comments</strong></p>
<p>It's indeed questionable whether in this case even the study or the concept of the study actually exists. Normally, the study subjects don't pay for the study, nor are they donating (except their time and body). The website may, strictly speaking,  not doing something illegal, but it does sound like a rip-off.</p>
