US State Legislatures Seek to Destroy the Public Health Apparatus
A recent Associated Press investigation found hundreds of anti-science bills across the United States.
The investigation examined over 1,000 state bills introduced in 2024, revealing that over 420 were explicitly anti-science, targeting public health protections.
- Roughly 350 bills were directed against vaccination programs.
- These bills sought to:
- Bar discrimination against unvaccinated people
- Create the criminal offense of vaccine harm
- Require blood banks to test for evidence of vaccinations
- Institute a 48-hour vaccine waiting period
The MAHA movement integrates with the Trump administration’s austerity agenda, threatening public health and deepening inequality.
