Proposed bill would ban administration of mRNA vaccines in Montana

HELENA, Mont. — Legislators heard a bill on Friday that would make Montana the first state to ban the use of mRNA vaccines. ... House bill 371, sponsored by State Rep. Greg Kmetz (R-Miles City) and introduced alongside a dozen other Republicans, would ban the use of mRNA vaccinations on humans, and provide for misdemeanors to be issued to violators. ... According to Johns Hopkins, gene-based vaccines include those to protect against Covid-19, and vaccine manufacturers are developing mRNA vaccines to protect against other respiratory viruses.

Friday’s hearing on the bill in House Judiciary lasted well over two hours, with proponents arguing these vaccines have caused short term side-effects and could have long-term impacts that are unknown, and that they could shed to others. ... “Gene-based vaccines, or mRNA vaccines, are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in human history. I am asking you to support this bill banning gene-based vaccines so we can halt continued harm, disability, and death of our citizens,” said Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a family physician in Miles City and volunteer board member of Montana Medical Freedom Alliance.

The other organizations voicing opposition was the Montana Family Foundation. A dozen other people spoke in their personal capacity against the bill, several of which work in the healthcare industry. This included pharmacists, nurses, and an obstetrician. ... “mRNA vaccines are still in their infancy, we do not yet fully understand the long-term consequences of introducing synthetic genetic material into the human body,” said Derek Oestreicher, chief legal counsel for the Montana Family Foundation. “And the rush to roll out these vaccines without adequate long-term studies has left many individuals questioning the wisdom of their own medical choices. This is especially true for those who felt forced or coerced into taking the vaccines due to mandates, social pressures, or threats to their employment.”

Opponents, including the state medical officer, say the bill includes inaccurate information, and that the vaccines can’t shed to others because they don’t include live viruses. They also argue the vaccines have undergone rigorous research and are an emerging and important factor in battling infectious diseases, and the state already provides easily available vaccine exemptions, including for schoolchildren.

Magatana has become the peach tree dish of magat dominance over government. Everything you see them do on the national stage, they've been doing here for quite some time. and succeeding.

Ask the countries that didn't get mRNA vaccines relatively early in the covid pandemic.

I'll guess, but did not look up, that more people died from ED pills like Viagra and Cialis than side effects to the covid vaccine.

Of course. If this keeps a good RSV or other vaccine off the market it will kill off more seniors which will decrease spending on social security.

Plus prevention is not nearly as profitable as for profit hospitals.

TBH... I'm not sure if the stupidity, cruelty, or loyalty to the hospital megadonors is the driving force behind this.
