Several fully vaccinated individuals on Capitol Hill have tested positive for Cocid-19, spurring a heightened sense of unease for the thousands of people who traverse the Capitol complex each day

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s trip to Israel got postponed. Nearly half of House members are masked on the floor again. One Senate Democrat even floated a “proof of vaccination” card to enter the Capitol.

“It's a nightmare,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin , who said he saw about half of members — including himself — wear their masks on the crowded House floor on Tuesday. "The mood is one of frustration and concern. ... It's a disappointing turn of events." Already, some offices started to cancel or downsize public events. Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, said GOP leaders have now decided to forgo a planned trip to Israel in August.

At least one top Democrat, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, didn’t rule out a return to mask mandates in the Capitol, which were lifted two months ago: “We’re going to have to talk about whether we’re going back to masks.” “You might need proof of vaccination to get in,” Reed said, citing data that people who are becoming seriously ill are now almost all unvaccinated. As leader of the Senate’s funding panel that oversees the legislative branch, Reed added that the variant would be a major consideration as the Capitol inches towards normalcy and a full reopening.

Looks like LeaderMcConnell advocates getting vaccinated. Will he censure members like mtgreeneGA and RandPaul who are still spreading lies about the vaccine?

Who checks the spelling in these posts?

is there a statistic of: of fully vaccinated individuals tested positive.. vs. of fully recovered from COVID and later got infected & tested positively ..!?

So I’m concerned that people really are not vaccinated “on the hill” and they are just getting it. Can’t imagine of they openly admitted to NOT being. The fallout, geesh. How is one to know?

Get ready for another lock down this fall

Masks.

TFW you’ve been pretending the pandemic is over but your colleagues start catching it:

Keep trying to put fear in us Americans I see.give up. You are not going to guilt or force Americans into getting the shot. So how many of these vaccinated individuals have had to go to the hospital or have died on Capitol Hill. Might want to add that to your article. Answer=0

How do we know they are actually vaccinated? Do you think they would admit they were not in a woke DC?!

Cocid-19?

NoMoreHate17 Oh shite now Cocid?

Republicans will come up with a cure, GUARANTEED

The question is did all get vaccinated?

Reports are that now up to 15 TX House democrats have tested positive. Super spreader publicity stunt by Dems running away from their responsibilities.
