Breaking News: because what the world really needed was another brilliant idea from politicians, a bill to ban mRNA vaccines is making its way to the House floor – and I’m just over here wondering if these people have actually looked at the science behind these vaccines. I mean, come on, have they not heard of all the research that’s been done on this topic?
And let’s be real, the fact that this bill is being sponsored by Rep. Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, and co-sponsored by Northwest Montana Reps. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, and Lukas Schubert, R-Kalispell, just makes me question their understanding of basic biology. But hey, who needs experts when you have politicians making decisions about public health, right?
But, I guess what’s even more laughable is that the House Judiciary Committee voted 12-8 to send the bill to the floor after hearing testimony for and against HB 371 – because, you know, testimony from actual experts is just so overrated.
And, as if this couldn’t get any better, the bill was amended to specify that the legislation would ban mRNA vaccines “for infectious diseases” and not “gene therapy products used to treat cancers or genetic disorders” – because, you know, mRNA vaccines are just so different when it comes to cancer treatment. It’s not like the technology is the same or anything.
Now, I’m not going to lie, I do find it amusing that supporters of the bill had previously testified that the vaccines caused more harm than good – I mean, what are they even smoking? But, hey, at least they’re consistent, right? And, of course, they have plenty of evidence to back up their claims… said no one ever.
But, in all seriousness, this bill is just another example of how politics can interfere with public health – and it’s just frustrating to see. I mean, can’t we just stick to the science for once? Is that too much to ask? Apparently so.
And, as a side note, I just want to say that if you’re interested in learning more about mRNA vaccines, I would highly recommend checking out some books on the subject – or, you know, just googling it like a normal person.
But, I guess what’s even more concerning is that opponents of the bill, like Dr. Douglas Harrington, a preventative medicine physician and the state medical officer for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, are actually making sense – and that’s just not allowed in politics, is it? I mean, who needs experts when you have politicians making decisions about public health?
And, finally, I just want to say that if you’re interested in contacting your representative about this bill, you can find their contact information here – or, you know, just give up and accept that politics is just too frustrating to deal with. But, hey, at least we can all agree that this bill is just another example of how politics can go wrong.
