I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in opposition of the President's unconstitutional vaccine mandate. Today, OSHA finally suspended enforcement of its vaccine mandate in response to the Fifth Circuit Court's ruling earlier this month. The only reason this happened is because Republicans and the people demanded that our rights be protected and used the power given to us by our Constitution to defend those rights. And we can't stop now. If these mandates are about public health, why do one-third of physicians disagree with them? If these mandates are responding to an emergency, why do they not take effect until January 4? If the mandates are based on science, why are we only looking at vaccine status and not natural immunity? It is because Washington Democrats are trying to control you, not protect you. Democratic leaders can't seem to follow their own rules and expectations. They party and gather with no masks, yet they expect their constituents to wear a mask at gatherings or even not gather at all. President Biden, hypocrisy is not a viable COVID-19 mitigation strategy.
