Political Quotes

“reserving the right to object, I do have good news for my colleague and everyone looking for information about the safety of vaccines: The CDC already collects and publicly releases data like what this bill proposes. So anyone who is curious about whether they should get a COVID-19 vaccination can go to the CDC website right now at cdc.gov. And some more good news: The data overwhelmingly shows these vaccines meet FDA's rigorous standards of safety and effectiveness. So now that that has been cleared up, I hope instead of wasting any more time on bills like this--bills which threaten to undermine public confidence in vaccines and trust in our public health experts by ignoring the thorough work they already do to provide clear, scientific data--we can instead focus on what we can all do to finally end this pandemic, which has now killed over 730,000 people and counting, and rebuild our country stronger and fairer. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Utah.”
