Why is this bill needed?

  • The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a global wave of medical authoritarianism and profit-driven, experimental vaccines. In the mass marketing of Covid vaccines, many lies were propagated amongst the corrupt collusion of the federal government, pharmaceutical companies, and the mainstream media. We must guard against this from ever happening again during future global health crises and any experimental vaccines that arise as a result.
