PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A proposal from a group of Maine Republicans to ban mandatory coronavirus vaccinations for five years is up for consideration by a legislative committee this week.
The lawmakers, led by Rep. Tracy Quint of Hodgdon, have based their proposal in part on the theory that coronavirus vaccines cause reproductive harm. Numerous medical authorities have said the claim lacks merit, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated there is no evidence that any of the COVID-19 vaccines affect future fertility.
The proposal is slated for a work session before the Maine Legislature s Committee on Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services on Tuesday.

The Australian Government Solicitor endorsed the corporate regulator s decision to charge the taxpayer for chairman James Shipton s tax advice bill from KPMG worth $118,557 when he relocated from the US.
Mr Shipton stepped aside from his role amid an investigation into the now repaid tax advice bill. An independent report into the matter by former inspector-general of intelligence Vivienne Thom is due to be handed to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg by the end of December.
Daniel Crennan has resigned and James Shipton has stood aside pending an investigation, leaving Karen Chester as acting chairwoman.
