With the key deadline approaching, Iowa lawmakers are advancing several bills that could significantly impact the lives of Iowans, including measures that oppose banning genetics-based vaccines. While legislative oversight plays an important role, decisions that have far-reaching consequences for public health should be guided by scientific expertise and input from medical professionals. Attempting to legislate on matters requiring specialized medical knowledge without meaningful consultation from those trained in the field raises concerns about uninformed policymaking. I urge you to ensure that any bills related to public health, including those concerning genetics-based vaccines, are thoroughly vetted by credible medical authorities to safeguard the interests of all Iowans.
