I think that the doctor-patient relationship is very important.

If my colleagues on the other side of the aisle genuinely believe that vaccine requirements constitute government overreach, then they must acknowledge that abortion bans, and contraception restrictions enacted across this country are…

It is a decision she must make for herself.

Legal challenges to undue restrictions on abortion procedures do not seek to vindicate some generalized notion of privacy.

The ability for all women to make their own decisions about their healthcare is at risk.

A bunch of extreme politicians said, 'I know better.'

Somehow, in their eyes, this doesn't qualify as government overreach or interference in the doctor-patient relationship.

But having this discussion while simultaneously advancing an extreme agenda to undercut reproductive healthcare and insist that elected officials know better than doctors and patients is really rich.

I could always ask you to join my fight for Medicare For All, but we won't do that right now.

Today's hearing is focused on critical minerals, which we all know is critical and essential for our transition to the clean energy economy...

Republicans, including Members of the Subcommittee, have said that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe.

If we are going to talk about vaccine safety, then our conversation should be... I am worried people aren't getting their vaccinations.

I am going to tell you something, there is nobody here that is more afraid of any kind of injection, shot, or vaccine than me.

The world is experiencing the largest global decline in decades in the number of children receiving basic immunizations

It is by putting people over politics. It is by making sure people have access to accurate and timely information about the thoroughly proven safety and effectiveness of vaccines.

We cannot deny the role of misinformation in fueling this troubling trend.

What we say and how we say it matters. It can build confidence, or it can manufacture distrust to deleterious effect.

It is important to me that we are accurate and when we discuss how and why these policies... were developed, supported, and guided by scientists, healthcare providers, and medical experts.

These public health measures enacted in support and in consultation with public health experts... have been proven to reduce harm and save lives.

The COVID-19 vaccine saves lives.

If you don't have contraindications, COVID-19 vaccines are safe.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe, they are effective, and significantly reduce the spread of the virus. They save lives.

The risks associated with COVID-19 infection are far greater than the risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccination.

In order to best serve the American people, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, everyone, we must correct course and we must do it now.

It was in large part thanks to lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines that we were able to prevent the loss of another 3.2 million American lives.
