Two Republican lawmakers in Idaho have introduced proposed legislation that aims to criminalize administering mRNA-based vaccines, including for COVID-19
.
The bill's language, introduced by the state's Sen. Tammy Nichols and Rep. Judy Boyle, states that"a person may not provide or administer a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid [mRNA] technology for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state." With a lack of details in the proposed legislation, it has left some wondering if future debate on the bill would clarify if administering mRNA-based vaccines to"any other mammal in the state" includes animals.Nichols has reportedly emphasized concern with vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna in a presentation.
If passed in its current form, HB 154 would take effect in the state on July 1, 2023, according to the proposal.
