Trump Administration Reports Plans to Halt COVID Vaccines Amid Safety Concerns

Montana is considering House Bill 371, which would ban mRNA vaccines, including those for COVID-19, making it the first state to take such action. Proponents of the bill, led by Republican Representative Greg Kmetz, argue it addresses growing skepticism regarding the safety of mRNA technology, while critics warn it could undermine public health efforts. Concurrently, Trump administration officials are reportedly contemplating a nationwide halt to COVID-19 vaccines due to rising safety concerns, with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya advocating for a pause and reassessment of mRNA shots. This comes amid a Yale study suggesting that the spike protein from COVID-19 vaccines may persist in the body for up to 709 days, raising alarms about potential chronic health issues. Critics, including health experts and advocates for vaccination, warn that stopping the vaccines could lead to a resurgence of COVID-19. The debate surrounding vaccine safety and efficacy continues to be polarizing, reflecting deeper societal divides over public health policy.
