Riigikogu rejected a draft Resolution

Draft Resolution of the Riigikogu “Formation of the Riigikogu committee of investigation to assess the risks related to COVID-19 modified mRNA vaccines” (557 OE), submitted by the Estonian Conservative People’s Party Group, was related to an address calling for the stopping of the use of modified mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, for the initiation of their recall and for the provision of scientific evidence indicating that the use of such vaccines entails no risk of human DNA damage.
