Michigan: HB4778

Bill Summary

Michigan HB4778 proposes to prohibit the administration of gene-based vaccines, defined to include mRNA, modified mRNA, self-amplifying mRNA, and DNA-based vaccines, in the state. The bill amends the Public Health Code to forbid any person or governmental entity from ordering or administering such vaccines and modifies the definition of immunizing agents to exclude gene-based vaccines. It also establishes disciplinary provisions for health professionals who fail to comply with the prohibition. The legislation represents a significant restriction on mRNA and DNA vaccination technologies currently used in Michigan.

Why It Matters to MAHA

This bill directly reflects MAHA's core commitment to health freedom and patient autonomy by removing a category of vaccines that many Americans have concerns about and wish to avoid. The bill enhances transparency by creating clear regulatory language around gene-based vaccine technology, allowing patients and families to make fully informed decisions about their medical care without government or institutional mandates. By restricting access to vaccines developed through mRNA and DNA platforms, the legislation respects the principle that individuals should have the right to refuse treatments they do not trust or believe pose health risks. This aligns with MAHA's broader mission to challenge one-size-fits-all medical protocols and empower patients to choose treatments that match their individual health circumstances and values. The bill recognizes legitimate public concern about the rapid deployment and ongoing use of gene-based vaccine technologies without long-term safety data.
