Two lawmakers in the US state of Idaho have introduced a bill that, if passed, would criminalize the providing or administering of mRNA vaccines across the entire state. Presented to the House Health and Welfare Committee, the bill is co-sponsored by Senator Tammy Nichols and Representative Judy Boyle. The legislation aims to amend the Idaho state code to provide that anyone providing or administering a vaccine using mRNA technology would face misdemeanor charges.
The bill’s introduction follows growing concern over the health risks of the experimental mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines. Known side effects resulting from these injections already include severe liver damage; very low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia); high rates of severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis); inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis); blood clots (thrombosis); and even death.
Introducing the proposed legislation, House Bill 154, Nichols mentioned the concern over blood clots and heart issues and specifically referred to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna. She also cited issues such as the authorization of these vaccines having been fast-tracked and raised additional concerns regarding liability, access to data, risk-benefit analysis, and informed consent.
Pointing out that the state already makes determinations about drugs that are found to be harmful to residents of Idaho, Nichols suggested that mRNA vaccines should be approached in a similar manner. According to the current wording of the bill, in addition to humans the ban on the vaccines would also apply to other mammals.
Could mRNA vaccines really be criminalized in Idaho? It won’t be easy. While the Republican Party, which Nichols and Boyle represent, currently controls both chambers of the state legislature as well as its governorship, the pharma industry and its allies in the mainstream media will undoubtedly do whatever it takes to stop the bill becoming law. Having made billions of dollars from mRNA vaccines, the likes of Pfizer and Moderna now have an enormous incentive to ensure the legislation is stopped.
Notably, therefore, The Idaho Statesman, the state’s largest newspaper by circulation, has already criticized Nichols and Boyle, saying if they had been around in the 1950s they “probably would have sought to criminalize the polio vaccine.” Business magazine Forbes has also weighed in, complaining that “future mRNA vaccines would have to go through the full testing and approval process that other vaccines and medications…go through before reaching the market.”
Ultimately, regardless of whether or not Bill 154 becomes law in Idaho, it will at least help draw further attention to the dangers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and the plight of people who have been harmed by them. Just as importantly, however, it will also raise interest in the alternatives.
An effective and safe alternative to mRNA vaccines – in the form of a game-changing micronutrient combination that has recently been recognized by the United States Patent Office – now exists. For lawmakers anywhere who would like to take advantage of this scientific breakthrough and employ it as a public health tool to protect their citizens, the Dr. Rath Health Foundation stands ready and waiting to help.
