mRNA research programs exemplify the great promise of biopharmaceutical innovation for patients. The implications for future increases in our health and well-being are tremendous. State policies that wrongly ban the use of mRNA technology jeopardize these benefits. If passed, it is patients who will ultimately suffer the most.

Despite Democratic Governor Hobbs’ past efforts to expand Arizonans’ access to cutting-edge medicines, the state Legislature continues to propose harmful anti-mRNA bills.

The latest example is House Bill 2332, which, if enacted, would deny Arizonans access to promising technologies that could cure cancer and minimize the health consequences from deadly diseases. Lawmakers should reject this dangerous proposal.
