State House, Providence – In response to the lessons learned from the detrimental economic, educational and health services related conditions realized by the COVID-19 mandates for testing, masking and vaccinations, Representative Robert Quattrocchi (District 41, Scituate, Cranston) submitted legislation that provides for reasonable exemptions from such practices going forward.

“One of my immediate main concerns at the beginning of the COVID-19 dilemma, was that the cure should not be worse than the disease,” said Representative Quattrocchi. “We can now look back and see that, indeed, the experimental cure was far worse than the disease itself, with startling increases in adverse effects, devastating mental harm to our children, our seniors dying alone and afraid, permanent closures of longstanding businesses, and most importantly, the loss of our constitutionally protected personal liberties at the hands of overbearing and heavy-handed state government. This proposal would simply prohibit the implementation of any mandatory experimental vaccination without consent or coercion, a pillar of the post WWII Nuremburg code. Government should not be preventing people from participating in society."

About rhode island house republicans

In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders. As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
