“Why the COVID-19 vaccine should be more politicized than any other vaccine, I don't know. I don't understand that. And why the COVID-19 vaccine is considered by the gentleman to be politicized, I don't understand that either. It is just another vaccine. It is another vaccine for a very raging pandemic we just had and which is hopefully over--although people are still dying of COVID-19. People should get vaccinated against it, if they haven't been vaccinated. But the REINS Act would make it much more difficult to require or even to drop the requirement for vaccination, and this amendment would specifically make it more difficult. That is ridiculous from a public health point of view, therefore, I oppose the amendment. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.”
