Des Moines Register: Opponents of vaccination mandates crowded into a Capitol meeting room Thursday for several hours to support a bill that would widely ban vaccination and mask mandates at businesses, governmental entities and schools. The two Republicans on the subcommittee announced that they would advance the bill to the full House State Government Committee. The hearing was the first test for a far-reaching bill that would specify that businesses, governments and schools couldn’t fire workers based on their medical treatment status, including vaccinations.
