19 House Democrats call on Capitol physician to mandate vaccines
The Hill ^ | 08/04/2021 | Cristina Marcos

Posted on 08/04/2021 10:27:44 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A group of 19 House Democrats is calling on the Capitol physician to start mandating that lawmakers and staff on Capitol Hill be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be subject to testing at least twice per week.

In a letter to the Capitol physician released on Wednesday, the Democratic lawmakers argued that "unique factors," such as the frequent travel among members of Congress who hail from all corners of the country, make people who work in the Capitol complex more at risk of exposure to COVID-19.

"In addition to being Members of Congress who walk these halls and rely on your guidance to keep our workplace safe, we are also the managers of teams of dedicated staff members, some of whom are immunocompromised or have other health issues that leave them extraordinarily vulnerable to COVID-19. We feel the utmost responsibility to prioritize the safety of our staff, just as any employer should feel towards those who report to them," the Democrats, led by Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (Mo.), wrote in the letter to Brian Monahan, the attending physician.

“some of whom are immunocompromised or have other health issues that leave them extraordinarily vulnerable to COVID-19”

These staff members should be allowed to work remotely. To do otherwise is dangerous and cruel. Mandate that.

...and once again no mention of natural immunity——again! Study after study shows it’s better than the vaccine.

We learned last week the vaccinated can spread covid so there is no point in mandates anymore.

The way things have been going... there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that the “vaccinated” may be more vulnerable to the “delta variant” than those who have not been part of the giant experiment. Quarantine the vaccinated until we know whether they pose a risk to the rest of us.

There is only one way to stop this killer disease—destroy the village to save it.

The Democratic “experts” can form a circular firing squad and lead the way!

So, we are not free men. We are mearly subjects to the desires and dictates of the elites who, again and again, demand this or that or that they inject my body with whatever it is they’ve deemed necessary to them.

“some of whom are immunocompromised”

So what diseases are they walking around with? Maybe they should be quarantined from the others.

Just have the CDC issue an edict-from-on-high. They seem to be The Politburo in charge.

Immunocompromised is code speak for homosexual men who have sordid parties and then spread pathogens to others. But none dare call them out as it is far easier to suggest that the rotten Trump supporters are responsible for all ills.
