Tennessee Republican Senators signed a letter encouraging the vaccine. They also get money from Pfizer.
Excerpt:
...In sum, these senators have received a total of $67,050 in campaign contributions directly from Pfizer. And 58% of those contributions have gone directly to Lt. Governor Randy McNally and Senator Jack Johnson (Senate Majority Leader). Go figure that the encouragement from legislators to take a vaccine is most likely not one born of benevolence.
It is also worth noting that all of these signatures were garnered from Republican legislators. The Tennessee Legislative Campaign Committee is a PAC that has garnered over $100,000 in contributions directly from Pfizer. This PAC is currently managed by Scott Golden, the state chairman of the TN Republican Party.
Are these contributions tied directly to this letter? I don’t know. But it is certainly worth revealing that there is always money flowing behind the scenes in everything we see coming out of our General Assembly. And we would be fools to look the other way and pretend that money plays no role in these decisions being made that continue to infringe upon the freedoms of we the people here in Tennessee and erode trust in those who lead.
For those living in Tennessee here’s the letter the vaccine Republicans signed:
