I am in favor of Senate File 45. Private citizens rights' to privacy and bodily autonomy were violated the past two years and this would be a start in providing protection that we are due from overreach.

Please pass SF45. After the harm & death done by these jabs, the lost jobs, the mental abuse put on people of conscience, it is time for Iowa to stand by its motto "Our Liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain".

Please pass SF45 to ensure that Iowans are free to make medical decisions regarding their health, and not have government interfere. Too much interference has already taken place, and much of the damage is irreparable. Thank you.

I am in favor of this bill. Many employers, including my own, put unnecessary pressure on their employees to comply with measures that were unnecessary, potentially harmful, and untested. I ultimately lost my job, in the fall of 2021 because my employer was fearful of the OSHA mandates.

Support SF45. There is no scientific let alone lawful reason that required testing for active or past infection or requiring a mandatory "vaccine" for COVID19 will be beneficial or preventative in nature for a workplace. This is a good start to what truly needs to happen which is a complete nullification of any Federal Order regarding infectious illnesses as the Federal Government does not possess the authority to enact such measures under the Constitution. Furthermore, the right of an employer to enforce such provisions should stop when it comes to a person's private property that is their body. To state otherwise would require major reconsideration as to what Employers have the right to do in the name of their business vs the natural rights of the human person.
