On Wednesday, Montana rejected a bill that would ban mRNA vaccines. Now, Idaho is considering similar legislation.

The Idaho Bill: The Idaho Senate Committee has discussed Senate Bill 1036, but hasn't voted on it. The bill seeks to pause DNA and RNA-based vaccines for ten years. It's named after a rancher who says he was paralyzed from the waist down after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. 

Other States: North Dakota also struck down a bill on Wednesday aimed at expanding exemptions for mandatory vaccines. Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo urged doctors to stop recommending mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations, suggesting the vaccines could introduce “contaminant DNA” that would increase cancer risk. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called his claims “misleading” and “quite implausible.” 

MAHA: “President Donald Trump’s new 'Make America Healthy Again' commission is reviewing certain vaccines and possible links to chronic illnesses,” NewsNation (Center bias) reportedSemafor (Lean Left) called the Montana bill “the latest indication of soaring vaccine hesitancy on the political right in the US following the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a vaccine skeptic — to lead the nation’s health and medical science agencies.” 

How The Media Covered It: The bills in Montana and Idaho were primarily covered by outlets in the center, while on the right the Daily Mail (Right) and ZeroHedge (Lean Right) highlighted the potential for a national ban on COVID-19 vaccines following Dr. Jay Bhattacharya's nomination to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Trump health officials could be about to recommend a complete stop to covid vaccines for all age groups in the US, according to a report.

The move would effectively ban the vaccines amid widespread suggestions that they are having expansive side effects and causing a spike in excess deaths.

The Daily Mail outlines how Dr Jay Bhattacharya, President Trump’s nomination to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has backed a petition calling for the mRNA vaccines to be paused and retested.

President Donald Trump’s new “Make America Healthy Again” commission is reviewing certain vaccines and possible links to chronic illnesses as some states push to restrict the use of COVID-19 vaccines.

Vaccines using messenger RNA, or mRNA, technology became widespread during the pandemic. With limited long-term studies available, the Trump administration is revisiting these vaccines.

Montana’s state legislature will vote on a bill to ban mRNA vaccines, the latest indication of soaring vaccine hesitancy on the political right in the US following the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a vaccine skeptic — to lead the nation’s health and medical science agencies as part of the new Trump administration.
