Rep. Veach Offers Comments on Opposition to Vaccine Bill

"Legislation should be intended to solve a problem or address an ongoing issue. Unfortunately, the vaccine bill being pushed forward doesn’t meet those basic requirements. The process was flawed from the beginning in that it silenced many concerned voices by limiting their right to voice those concerns to their elected officials," Rep. Veach said.

"I can’t vote in good conscience to support a bill that encroaches on an individual’s religious rights and freedoms, while giving unilateral authority to an entity (DPH Commissioner) who by its passage will be granted the authoritarian right to determine who gets what vaccines and when. I guess the my body my choice and the no king’s ways of thinking don’t apply here."
