Well, this Michigan House committee session is... something: [View all]

Today, a Michigan House committee is set to take up a bill that would make it illegal for employers to require employees to:
- Get COVID-19 vaccines (or flu/TDAP vaccines)
- Wear a mask
- Disclose their vaccination status





A few tidbits from the thread:

Another physician is speaking (I'm sorry, I didn't catch his name).

He's suggesting COVID-19 is a manmade virus "in the works" for at least 2 decades. He's also suggests Dr. Anthony Fauci had a role in its creation.

Here's a study refuting all of this


Next speaker, Michigan neurosurgeon Dr. Avery M. Jackson III, suggests vaccines are killing people.

Again, that's not supported by the vast majority of research and goes against expert consensus. In fact, substantial evidence refutes this

Jackson says "we've seen over 10,000 deaths whith hours or days after vaccine administration."

Multiple fact-checks have noted this is false:


Christine Parks, who has a Phd in celluar and molecular biology from the University of Michigan, speaking now. She's spoke out against vaccine mandates in the past.

She argues that vaccines do not prevent the spread of COVID-19. The CDC says vaccination helps slow spread

...

Parks argues that vaccines in general, not just the COVID-19 vaccine, can cause far worse syptoms if people are infected with a variant down the road.

That's not the consensus of the majority of experts and researchers.

Parks now suggests that certain vaccines may cause autism. (She alleged a certain study found this to be true but researchers shredded the results).

That's false. Lots of research showing vaccines *do not* cause autism
