Vaccine-Injured Pharmacist Breaks Down Into Tears Testifying Before Ohio State Senate

“I was a father, a husband, a pharmacist, and a healthy person prior to being coerced into receiving the COVID vaccine … I would never have taken the vaccine voluntarily,” declared Mike Yoha, his voice trembling with emotion.

Yoha, a once vibrant and healthy pharmacist, suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a severe neurological disease that left him paralyzed after being coerced into taking the COVID shot. His testimony before the Ohio State Senate was a harrowing account of personal loss and violated freedoms.

“My liberty was violated when vaccine status discrimination forced me into taking a medical intervention that almost cost me my life,” Yoha lamented. “If we do not have the right to decline a known risk of death without facing discrimination or loss of employment, then we are no longer free. I implore the committee to vote yes on HB 319.”

Ohio House Bill 319, also known as the “Conscientious Right to Refuse Act,” aims to end “no jab, no job” policies for good. The proposed legislation is a beacon of hope against future violations of bodily autonomy.

The bill states unequivocally that businesses, employers, health care providers, and other institutions CANNOT deny or terminate employment, deny services, or otherwise treat individuals differently based on their refusal of any biologic, vaccine, pharmaceutical, or gene-editing technology for reasons of conscience.

Ohio needs to pass this bill, and Mike Yoha’s testimony is a powerful reminder of the stakes. Thank you, Mike, for your courage in speaking out.
