A group of Republican lawmakers in Congress with medical backgrounds is launching a campaign to tout the safety of coronavirus vaccines and urge Americans to get vaccinated, which comes as vaccine hesitancy remains a persistent issue among Republicans.
The group is led by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and includes a number of staunch conservatives, including Reps. Andy Harris (R-Md.) and Greg Murphy (R-N.C.), both members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus.
In a 2-minute ad, the three senators and seven congressmen tout the role of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration’s vaccine development program, in rapidly creating an effective vaccine.
The ad also seeks to ameliorate safety concerns about the vaccine, with Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) stating, “the process was rigorous and transparent,” and Harris asserting the Food and Drug Administration “did not skip any steps.”
“Instead, they cut bureaucratic red tape, not corners, and they got the job done in record time,” said Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas), a clear appeal to conservative voters’ belief in limited government.
The ad also seeks to appeal to Republicans’ prioritization of values like liberty and freedom, with Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) calling the vaccine the only way to “end the government’s restrictions on our freedoms.”

Rand Paul has been just as bad on this.
The entire uniparty is compromised.
Go for it, doods. I’ve not had a flu shot and I don’t need this one. Life is a mist. I prefer to live it without this crap coursing through my veins.
Of course, opinions vary. But the great thing about a free country is that we all get to choose for ourselves. That is why I’m pro-choice on the vaccine. What rational person isn’t?
No thanks. Peddle your snake oil elsewhere.
Not.
Listening.
To.
Them.
LOL. Getting the Vaccine out so quickly was a major achievement of Trump admin. And you morons shit on it
Right. Sure. Uh-huh.
Covid is in decline: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailytrendscases
Ummm no.
Why do these people think oh, I’m famous they’ll listen to me, oh, I’m a government official, they’ll listen to me.
No means no.
Still not taking the injection. Not when very effective treatments are available.
LOL! Vaccine... UK government is projecting that 60%-70% of those hospitalized with covid, and dying from covid, in the coming third wave, will have had the vaccine.
The first lie is that it is a vaccine. . .it is not! It is an experimental gene therapy that, btw, has failed each and every test upon animals. NO THANKS. . .I choose the second opinion of medical professionals who’s only interest is the well-being of their patients and have no stake in the potential monetary gain granted those holding patents on the vaccine. (I’m looking at YOU, Fauci!)
COVID is declining in the US because of the vaccine. You have a right to decine it and fervently hope that you do not become seriously ill because of your ill informed decision. Suspect there are many people in India who will gladly take the doses that were meant for you.
Also please consider that it is the ever appearing new variants that vary in infectivity. So far the existing vaccines have been clinically effective against all such variants. That is quite an accomplishment and protection. Those who forsake the vaccines are simply gambling with their health.
Drug pushers.
How about resistance and Civil Disobedience? How about just taking our country back?
According to a study in Israel, Pfizer is not as effective as your natural antibodies created during a COVID infection and recovery vs the African variant.
Getting up in the morning every day “you are gambling”
Why even try? People have already made up their minds, it’s useless. #novaccineforme
I simply wait until the human trials are complete, in 18-36 months.
Until then in the control group, watching.
You are welcome for my service to humanity - white though I be.
Americans are being denied access to key information about COVID-19 by unelected bureaucrats who seek to expand government power and control... “ Steve Deace
