House Bill 371 is reckless, dangerous, and embarrassingly ignorant. This is not just legislative overreach—it’s an assault on public health, Montana’s economy, and basic common sense.   Vaccines Work. Science Works. Why Ignore Reality?   Vaccines wiped out deadly diseases.. Now, you are considering banning a medical technology that has saved millions of lives.   Are You Paying Attention to What’s Happening?   While you debate banning mRNA vaccines, measles is spreading across the U.S., tuberculosis cases are rising, and polio is reappearing. Instead of fighting misinformation, you want to fuel it.   Banning mRNA vaccines won’t just harm people—it will kill them.   Government’s Role Is to Protect Freedom—Not Erase It   It is not your job to parent the electorate. The role of government in a free society is to protect individual rights, ensure public safety, and uphold liberty—not to restrict access to life-saving medicine.   If you don’t want an mRNA vaccine, don’t get one. But you have no right to make that decision for anyone else.   The Facts You Are Ignoring    •          mRNA vaccines are a medical breakthrough—built on 50+ years of research.    •          They have saved millions of lives—the death rate before and after vaccine rollouts makes this undeniable.    •          mRNA technology extends beyond COVID-19—it’s being used to develop vaccines for Lyme disease, RSV, norovirus, multiple cancers, and even fentanyl addiction. This bill doesn’t just target COVID-19—it blocks medical innovation.       What Happens If You Ban mRNA Vaccines?   1. More Disease. More Death.    •          Montana will face outbreaks of preventable diseases—it’s not a question of “if” but “when.”    •          Unvaccinated populations are already fueling disease resurgence nationwide. Do you want Montana to be next?   2. A Crippled Healthcare System.    •          Hospitals will be overwhelmed with preventable illnesses.    •          Good luck attracting doctors and medical professionals to a state that rejects science.   3. Montana’s Economy Will Suffer.    •          Biotech, research, and medical jobs will leave.    •          Sick people can’t work or contribute to the economy.    •          Montana will be known for prioritizing misinformation over reality.   4. You Will Be Responsible for Preventable Deaths.    •          Every person who gets sick or dies due to lack of access to mRNA vaccines—that’s on you.   History Will Not Be Kind to This Decision   What’s the goal? To prove loyalty to an anti-science ideology at the expense of people’s lives? History will not look kindly on those who support this bill.   This isn’t about safety—it’s about fear, misinformation, and political theater. You’re playing games with public health, and the consequences will be dire.   Reject this nonsense. Stop legislating ignorance. Do your jobs.
