SB6 removes the authority of public health officials to issue certain orders related to infectious and contagious diseases.
The Senate passed SB6 on February 23, 2023, by a vote of 22 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because “public health” is not the legitimate object of government. An individual’s non-injurious personal health care decisions should be considered private matters not under federal, state, or local jurisdiction in the United States. Compelling every person to cover their face, quarantine, or be vaccinated—regardless of whether they have an infection or contagious disease and under the guise of “preventive medical treatment”—is not only unscientific, but it violates the fundamental rights of the people protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.
