Montana Proposal Mandates Vaccine Injury Reimbursements

Rep. Matt Rosendale has introduced the University Forced Vaccination Student Injury Mitigation Act, which mandates colleges reimburse students for adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccinations, emphasizing institutional accountability for health risks linked to vaccine mandates. Concurrently, research from Emory University reveals that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines produce short-lived plasma cells, leading to rapid waning of antibody protection, unlike long-lasting immunity from vaccines like tetanus. This phenomenon may explain the increasing breakthrough infections post-vaccination. Additionally, a new in vitro model by Boston Children's researchers shows older adults exhibit muted immune responses to mRNA vaccines, highlighting age-specific vulnerabilities in vaccine effectiveness. Meanwhile, the UK's JCVI has narrowed eligibility for future COVID vaccinations to the over-75s and immunosuppressed individuals, reflecting a shift towards treating COVID-19 as an endemic disease. NHS data indicates a declining trend in hospital admissions related to COVID-19, further supporting this transition.
