He does not have my vote.

The reason to do these reports is so we don't make the mistakes, if there were any mistakes, not to make the same mistakes again.

We have got no answers whatsoever about this from them.

I feel like we are four years into this, we are not even going to get this information, you are telling us now, before the election, and maybe not even before the next inauguration.

We are told today that we are going to vote on a continuing resolution with another bright, shiny object attached to it. I feel like this legislation is insincere and unserious. Now, why is it unserious? It is unserious because we are…

The Constitution of the United States of America, is the guardian of our liberties. It embodies the principles of limited government in a republic dedicated to rule by law. September 17, 2024, marks the 237th anniversary of the framing of…

The bulk of my speech in support of my amendment actually doesn't come from me. It is going to come from Alexander Hamilton, who describes in Federalist 75 the treaty-making powers of the executive. He states: ``Its objects are contracts…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 6, after line 17, insert the following: (12) Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution…

I did see that in the media, yes.

We should care about every child injured by any infectious disease like the doctor here treats.

Whether the vaccine caused the issue or not, can you throw somebody out of a trial and not say what happened to them in the--

I don't think there was any science behind that decision. Maybe there's other things driving it, but it certainly wasn't science.

Does the EUA, when you issue an EUA, is it also accompanied, or is part of that production a list of things that the vaccine manufacturer can or can't say about what their vaccine does or its efficacy?

If we're going to revisit things that have been assumed for 100 years, why should we assume a tribunal should be deciding what's fair?

Today's hearing is not an antivaccine hearing.

That doesn't sound American to me.

It is our job in Congress to overseen government agencies. When agents of the Administrative State are not doing their job, they must be held accountable.

It was an absolute failure in the way we treated them, and it was an absolute failure in the way we treated our young children and our sacred responsibility.
