Bill to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of Montana House Committee.

Bill to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of House committee

https://dailyinterlake.com/news/2025/feb/14/bill-to-ban-mrna-vaccines-passes-out-of-house-committee/

"SNIP...........

A bill that would ban the use of mRNA vaccines, including for Covid-19, is on its way to the House floor after passing out of committee in a party-line vote Wednesday.

Sponsored by Rep. Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, and co-sponsored by Northwest Montana Reps. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, and Lukas Schubert, R-Kalispell, House Bill 371 would prohibit administering vaccines developed with mRNA, or messenger ribonucleic acid, technology on humans. The bill deems the technology, which was employed to create the Covid-19 vaccines, a hazard.

The House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 12 voted 12-8 to send the bill to the floor after hearing testimony for and against HB 371 last week. Sharp, along with local Reps. Braxton Mitchell, R-Columbia Falls, and committee Chair Amy Regier, R-Kalispell, voted in favor.

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.”

............SNIP"

Just when they thought MRNA vaccines could be used to quickly make AIDs and malaria vaccines. Hmmmmmm? What does that make me think.... But for cancer MRNA vaccines are great and safe? Let me think. Who gets AIDs and Malaria and who gets to live long enough to get cancer?

I had seven boosters. No heart problems and I didn’t catch COVID-19. Who the hell these non-doctors think they are.

This vaccine has saved countless lives. Out of the 5 people I know who passed away because of covid, not one was vaccinated. An incredibly stupid thing to do.

MAGA messiah "Donald "The Golden Calf" Trump fast tracked the mRNA vaccine with "Operation Warp Speed". Was he trying to kill Montanans? Why does his important role in the process get overlooked?

Sure, you might get the odd one here or there that might have an issue but otherwise they are safe.

They are working on a cure for cancer in the MRNA vaccines and these idiots don't care. This is worse than what they did with stem cells because this is just from qanon conspiracy bs, not even a religious conviction.


This is also taking the right to get the vaccines from those who don't fall for stupid conspiracies. The choice should be left for the population to make. They are FDA approved. I hope this is taken to court and reason wins.
