Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: ‘The Pandemic Is Not Over, 500 People a Day Die ... from Covid’

EXCERPT:

JACKSON LEE: "We lost a million people on not having that vaccination timely. And so, I am struck by this legislation. The pandemic is not over. Five hundred people a day die right now as I’m standing here from Covid. That’s a reasonable amount. I know there are other infectious diseases, but doesn’t it make sense that if we can have a vaccine and a protocol that allows people to live, our children, those with pre-existing conditions, that we want them to do so?”
