Governor Janet Mills and her totally dumbed down leftist/commie Maine Legislature and Cabinet consider themselves superior in intellect and knowledge to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons!
As long as such ignorance exists across the board (in ALL areas) in Maine, Maine is burned toast!

Re: Statement federal vaccine mandates
“The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) strongly opposes federal interference in medical decisions, including mandated vaccines. After being fully informed of the risks and benefits of a medical procedure, patients have the right to reject or accept that procedure. The regulation of medical practice is a state function, not a federal one. Governmental preemption of patients’ or parents’ decisions about accepting drugs or other medical interventions is a serious intrusion into individual liberty, autonomy, and parental decisions about child-rearing.”
