Iowa state senator falsely claims COVID-19 vaccines not effective

Also, a separate effort to ban vaccine requirements in general and add legal protections for commercial truck drivers fails

ES MOINES — During discussion of legislation that would prohibit schools and child care centers from requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for children, a state senator on Wednesday falsely claimed the COVID-19 vaccines were not effective or safe.

“We need to put to rest that COVID-19 is an effective and safe vaccine,” Sen. Jason Schultz, R-Schleswig, said during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting. “They keep trying to do things (vaccine shots and booster shots). It doesn’t work. These things are not effective.”

Schultz went on to accuse advocates for the vaccines of having a “hive mindset.”

needs to once again explain to him nobody ever said it would prevent you from contracting it, but that it would keep you from being hospitalized most likely.
