Congressional Republicans on Wednesday ratcheted up their attempts to repeal President Biden’s vaccine and testing mandates, adopting a measure in the Senate to unwind policies that the White House and top public health officials see as critical to combating the coronavirus.

The intensifying campaign mirrored in spirit the political and legal battles that GOP officials waged earlier in the pandemic, as they attacked business closures, mask mandates and other government-led measures to slow the contagion. With vaccines, Republicans on Capitol Hill argued that the requirements are unwarranted and unconstitutional, putting Americans’ jobs at risk.

In their most public, forceful protest to date, Republicans led by Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) muscled to passage a proposal that aims to repeal the Biden administration’s rules ordering large private businesses to require vaccination or implement comprehensive coronavirus testing for their workers.

Yea for the Republicans. Doing their job. Representing the best interests of their constituents.

I don't agree that giving workers the right to make their co-workers sick is in the best interests of the constituents who would rather not get sick. Especially those who would rather not risk bringing the sickness home to immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable family members. --Bob

If I didn't know better, I'd think that was satire.
