(Radio Iowa) - A bill to make it a crime to administer M-R-N-A vaccines in Iowa -- like the Moderna and Pfizer COVID shots -- has cleared initial review in the Iowa Senate.
However, the bill's sponsor plans to adjust the legislation and instead give Iowans a route to sue M-R-N-A vaccine manufacturers. Iowa medical groups and the association that represents Iowa pharmacists oppose the bill.
According to the Iowa Biotechnology Association, there are Iowa companies doing research on M-R-N-A vaccines for both humans and animals -- including development of a bird flu vaccine.
