Missouri House advances measure limiting vaccines

JEFFERSON CITY — The Missouri House approved an anti-vaccination measure Tuesday that could tie the hands of health professionals to address future pandemics.

The proposal, sponsored by Republican Rep. Bill Hardwick of Waynesville, would bar governments from being able to mandate a COVID-19 vaccine or future potential medical technologies like microchips placed under someone’s skin.

The measure would require private employers, including small business owners, to provide exemptions to any vaccination requirements if an employee has a “sincere” religious belief about the health benefits of a vaccine.

Hardwick, who is among a number of Republicans who complained about personal freedom during the height of the local, state and national response to a rapidly spreading disease, also said children would not have to be vaccinated in order to go to school under his legislation.

The GOP really is the stupid party.

The state of Misery, home of Heehaw Hawley.

3. Their aversion to science n medicine is dangerous.. if another pandemic comes

And it will, people will be defenseless because of “personal freedom”. Not even a pandemic as was stated..measles, chicken pox n on n on…

4. To think that they traded

Claire McCaskill for Jehoshaphat Hawley.

SMDH.

11. Crazy isn't it

I voted for Claire McCaskill and would do so again. Can’t stand Hawley or his lawyer wife. She is working to make the abortion pill illegal.

5. STUPID is putting it mildly.

6. I work in a hospital

I'm immunocompromised after cancer and chemo. I'm fully vaccinated but I'm vulnerable.

I'm screwed.

7. Unfortunately, sincere religious belief translates to "I don't wanna" for those cretins.

It's literally going to take a pandemic that wipes out 10% or 20% or more of the population before these idiots relent from their intentional vaccine idiocy. Their opposition is simply virtue signaling for their dumb as rocks base.

8. wow...short sighted and ignorant

[spanone]

9. Please make the stupid stop

[Volaris]

10. That'll be up to the next pandemic...at least in this case.

12. A majority of those who died from Covid were the unvaccinated - more Republicans died than Democrats

Yet they persist in calling this "personal freedom."
