A freshman Idaho lawmaker wants to ban most COVID-19 shots for the next decade, with a bill rooted in misconceptions about vaccines that thrived during the pandemic. The bill from Sen. Brandon Shippy, R-New Plymouth, would place a moratorium on "human gene therapy products" until July 2035. The bill defines those as products that include nucleic acids, "genetically modified microorganisms" and other "engineered site-specific nucleases." The bill seeks to ban most forms of gene therapy, a set of cutting-edge treatments for some diseases. But the bill also would prohibit mRNA vaccines, like those developed by Pfizer and Moderna to combat COVID-19, Shippy told the Idaho Statesman.

"What the president and his administration did a little over a day ago was extraordinary and unprecedented in freezing potentially trillions of dollars of funding simply because he woke up with a political vendetta," Platkin said. "And we have to remember what this does. It freezes funding potentially for seniors' health care, for kids' education, for law enforcement. I got a notice yesterday that they were freezing all funding for drug cartel trafficking enforcement." Platkin added, "He defunded the police!"

Trump said earlier this month that Greenland was vital to U.S. security and Denmark should give up control of the strategically important island. The survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, showed only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of their island becoming part of the U.S., with 9% undecided.
