Senator Roger Marshall introduced a bill to block the COVID shot mandate for healthcare workers. The Senate voted to pass the bill and it’s now headed to the House.
“Make no mistake, this federal vaccine mandate is not about public health or science – it’s about Joe Biden fulfilling his desire to control every aspect of our lives, and it’s a slap in the face to the hard-working men and women who never took a day off on the frontline fight against COVID-19,” said Senator Marshall. “Today is a huge victory for all the healthcare workers who ran to the sound of the COVID battle as Senate Republicans joined forces taking us one step closer to invalidating President Biden’s overreaching and harmful CMS vaccine mandate. These workers are the true heroes of the pandemic and deserve our best fight and utmost respect.”
Companion legislation has been introduced in the House, and it reportedly has support from about 170 members so far.
Critics of the mandate for healthcare workers say it places undue stress on medical facilities, especially in rural areas.
