Idaho lawmakers consider bill to ban certain vaccines statewide

Idaho lawmakers are considering Senate Bill 1036, which seeks to pause gene therapy immunizations for 10 years. The bill is named for an Idaho rancher who claims he was paralyzed after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

The Idaho Senate committee discussed the bill, which would ban the use of DNA and RNA-based vaccines. However, they did not vote on it.

The Montana House killed a similar bill under consideration on Wednesday.
