Maryland HB699: Testimony Series
Compelling testimonies from renowned scientists, doctors, public health experts, concerned citizens and students
On March 6, the Health and Government Operations Committee in the Maryland General Assembly heard oral testimonies on Maryland House bill HB699 “Vaccination by Choice Act”. HB699 as amended also protects college students in publicly funded IHEs in the state from providing proof of COVID vaccination in order to attend college. Legislators heard hours of impactful testimonies covering a wide array of well-substantiated support for HB699 with the amendment. Maryland has a history of college mandates dating back to April, 2021.
We are pleased to share oral testimony from Phoebe Liou, UConn Babbidge Scholar & Mortensen Scholar. VSRF College Edition Host. Founder: Illuminare Photography. Co-founder: Northstar Students United. Graphic Designer.
Thank you, Phoebe Liou, for your support for Maryland HB699 with amendments.
“This was a hard testimony to share. My mental health suffered greatly due to college mandates. I wish no other student suffers, from vaccine injuries or from discrimination. Mandates need to be reassessed on updated data to prevent unnecessary suffering.”
