Just taking one sentence from this: Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. What if this young low-risk adult lives with an elderly high-risk adult such as a parent or grandparent? I didn't see anything in this declaration that covers something like that.
I missed the article that determined herd immunity exists, if it exists, that's awesome!
"Any pandemic management strategy relying upon immunity from natural infections for COVID-19 is flawed. Uncontrolled transmission in younger people risks significant morbidity and mortality across the whole population. In addition to the human cost, this would impact the workforce as a whole and overwhelm the ability of healthcare systems to provide acute and routine care."

If the young workers, that are living with their parents, are willing to move out of the parent's house and rent or buy their own place it might work. Of course they cannot return to the parent's house to get their laundry done or ask for more money. There should be a clause in that declaration that states I will immediately move out and take care of my own needs until the pandemic is over.
Taking this, the young will be allowed to work normally one step further, isn't this exactly what cooperate America always wanted? They get to replace the old with the young for considerably less money. Of course the old will no longer be able to guarantee an inheritance for the young - but they did not need it anyway, their working (even if it is for less money)!
As it is, there should only be a few more months before there is enough vaccine for everybody. Of course we do not know how all of this will play out, but before we jump the gun with a silly petition, I think it is far better to wait and see.
PS One last point to the OP: While hundreds of thousands agree, there are seven and a half billion of us!

As of last Wed night (I attended a zoom meeting with several well known epidemiologists) WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR HERD IMMUNITY IN THE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It will take 70-80% immune to hit herd. Unfortunately, too many anti-vaxers will keep us from getting there for quite some time
Unfortunately most of the people signing the declaration won't be taking the vaccine
If Pfizer and Moderna do not get a handle on the adverse reactions then that group could grow larger. I am thinking that all of the adverse reactions are to the Pfizer vaccine because Moderna has not had enough time since they were just recently licensed to sell. It would be interesting if Moderna does not have the same problems with adverse reactions as Pfizer? But we will not know for another week or two.

Right now the most likely suspect is polyethylene glycol, which is a known allergen. It is also in the Moderna vaccine.
It was fascinating to see how widespread PEG use is, from the stuff that cleans you out for a colonoscopy to many medications to cosmetics and skin care products. It is unsurprising that there would be people primed by previous exposure who have allergic reactions to it in the vaccine(s).
There are other vaccines in the pipeline. No way to tell right now whether any are PEG free.
If the problem is PEG then a potential solution for Moderna and Pfizer is reformulation without it, but that might be difficult.
Also, people with known severe allergies could get tested and if their tests are positive wait for a vaccine without it.
If we quit playing politics, we had HCQ back in March. Ivermectin has emerged as even a better treatment.
