Has Kennedy said anything yet about those who exempted themselves????

“Our Congress exempted itself from the C19 vaccine, even though they said COvid would end humanity and criticized those who didn’t get vaxxed and supported mandates which cost soldiers, doctors and others employment and careers”

Haven't heard anything from Kennedy Jr. about exemptions.

Newsweek
Video of Nancy Pelosi Saying ‘We Cannot Require’ Vaccinations Resurfaces

Published Sep 10, 2021 

In April, Pelosi told reporters that the House could not require members to be vaccinated and that knowing who had received the shot was a "matter of privacy."

Video of Pelosi's remarks had been viewed on Twitter more than 470,000 times at the time of writing.

The Speaker said: "So—so here is the thing. We are—we cannot require someone to be vaccinated. That's just not what we can do. It is a matter of privacy to know who is or who isn't."

At the press conference, Pelosi went on to say that it was not possible to require vaccines for U.S. citizens generally. These remarks were not contained in the clip now circulating on social media, however.

"So, if we could, but we can't require vaccinations for the members, much less for the American people. Some people want to say, 'Don't come into my store unless you're vaccinated, this or that. It causes commotion,'" Pelosi said.

US government has granted vaccine mandate exceptions to 165,000 workers

Based on ft.com's investigation, they assert 8% of federal employees weren't vax in December after Biden's Nov mandate on businesses.
ransomnote: Agencies handed out exemptions and extensions to more than 165,00 Fed staff. Biden said 97% of fed staff were in complaince, but his definition of 'compliance' included workers who were granted an exemption or extention to the rules.At the link, there's a table of vaccination rates by gov agency.

Personally, I think the actual number vaxxed is far less because there are a lot of doctors in the medical regime in DC who could hand out 'proof of vax' like candy if they wished.

Oddly enough, Snopes got it right for once, confirming Biden's vax mandate applied to the executive branch of Congress (including military) but excludes the legislative branch, Congress critters:

No one has mentioned it, but apparently the judicial branch was not included either.
