Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill Wednesday afternoon that prohibits K-12 schools and colleges from requiring the coronavirus vaccine.
House Bill 244 started as a bill to help military children transition to school when they move to and from Ohio. Then, in the flurry of the final days of June before lawmakers went on summer recess, the bill was amended to prohibit schools, universities and other public entitles from requiring vaccines that haven’t been fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Currently, the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson coronavirus shots are authorized under emergency use.
Pfizer filed papers with the federal agency in May, requesting full approval and Moderna made the same request for its shot June 1, according to CNBC.
A spokesman for DeWine said shortly after the bill was signed that the governor is confident the vaccines will soon be approved.
“We believe it will be moot in the very near future,” said Dan Tierney, adding that the bill’s provisions assisting military kids are also noble and a main reason why he signed the measure.
The vaccination ban will affect Cleveland State University, which is requiring all students living in a residence hall in the summer and fall semesters to be vaccinated, unless exempt for a medical or religious reason. A university spokesman previously said that if DeWine signs the bill, the school would adjust their requirement to comply with the law....
Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, DeWine urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to give the three vaccines full authorization.....

For your consideration.
So if, and when, they’re “fully approved”, then they can compel you to get the shot. It’s a half-measure.
prepare for lawsuits against this
republicans will not pass this
it basically takes the teeth out of the 1986 vaccine law giving immunity to all vaccine makers because every product now can’t be mandated
projab politicians won’t vote for it and thars all dems and many repubs
I feel like DeWine is all over the place — perhaps I’m being forgetful. But this is good!
Lawsuits should already be percolating against the mandatory vaxxes.
do you know of any
DeWine is better lately.
It’s been a while, but I recall seeing a blip about it here.
DeWine wants to keep his job.
It’s a trick. The bill doesn’t ban fully approved Covid vaccines. He is betting 1, 2 or 3 vaccines will be fully approved in 90 days.
I don’t like deRINO very much, but on this he did the right thing.
DeWiner is desperate - Polls show him losing to anyone running against him - the 75 year old multi-millionaire just won’t retire.
DeWine is better lately.
Well you know, improves with age.
Yeah. At first he had totalitarian tendencies but since then he has returned to Earth.

You can expect full approval by the end of the year.
BTW, if they’re fully approval, what’s your beef?
Excellent news.
“BTW, if they’re fully approval, what’s your beef?”
They can’t possibly be approved, as that process takes 8-15 years. If they ARE approved, then we know this entire fiasco (Election Virus and vaccine) has been planned for at least a decade. If true, they were holding it as an ace up their sleeve for an emergency. The re-election of PDJT would have been that emergency.
DeWine looks insane
