She's fighting a law that says if there's a severe public danger, the state can force people to be vaccinated.

Channel Three's Laura Hussey explains why she's doing it.

Carmen Reynolds, "I nearly died from my first vaccination as a child. Smallpox. They almost had to amputate my arm."

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Carmen Reynolds says vaccinations administered during her 20 years in the military destroyed her bodybuilder's physique inside and out.

Carmen "I was in a neck brace. I was in arm braces."

Reynolds says she suffered excruciating pain and her immune system was permanently damaged.

While researching ways to protect her health, she learned about a Florida law that allows forcible vaccinations if there's a severe public danger.

Carmen, "But I refuse to be killed by another vaccine."

The law makes no exception for health conditions or religious objections. The only alternative is quarantine.

Laura Hussey "The statute says law enforcement can be called in if necessary, so Reynolds says it's entirely possible that someone's refusal to be vaccinated could bring deputies to their door."

Carmen "And 'any force necessary' can be used to quarantine us or apply a vaccine to our bodies."

Reynolds says that's why everyone has something at stake.

Carmen "You should be the ultimate determiner of your body. But when that is decided for you, when that right is taken away from you by the state, and they supersede the right over you own body, that's when the rubber meets the road."

The Attorney General's Office has filed a motion to dismiss saying that Reynolds has not been directly affected by the law.
