New Bill Would Ban COVID-19 Vaccinations In ND

(Bismarck, ND) — A North Dakota Senate committee is considering a bill that would ban messenger RNA vaccines in North Dakota, including the COVID-19 vaccine. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the vaccines use lab-created messenger RNA to teach cells how to make a protein that triggers a body’s immune system to produce virus fighting antibodies. Supporters of the bill say mRNA vaccines are risky and need more study. Opponents say the new approach is promising and that medical providers in North Dakota would be criminalized. A similar bill would end vaccination mandates in the workplace.
