A bill has been submitted to the Rhode Island House of Represenatives that would prevent the state from implementing any mandatory vaccinations in the future, including COVID-19 vaccines.
The legislation was introduced by Representative Robert Quattrocchi, a Republican who represents District 41 – Scituate, Cranston.
“One of my immediate main concerns at the beginning of the COVID-19 dilemma, was that the cure should not be worse than the disease,” said Representative Robert Quattrocchi in a statement. “We can now look back and see that, indeed, the experimental cure was far worse than the disease itself, with startling increases in adverse effects, devastating mental harm to our children, our seniors dying alone and afraid, permanent closures of longstanding businesses, and most importantly, the loss of our constitutionally protected personal liberties at the hands of overbearing and heavy-handed state government. This proposal would simply prohibit the implementation of any mandatory experimental vaccination without consent or coercion, a pillar of the post WWII Nuremburg code. Government should not be preventing people from participating in society.”
With Democrats holding a large majority in the Rhode Island House, the 2024 Rhode Island House of Representatives Minority Caucus (Republican) would need support from many Democrats to ensure passage.
