I'm guessing the number of unvaccinated congressmen is very low, but again, what's the logic? Because I don't see it.
Same with welfare recipients, the vaccine mandate won't apply to them. If the goal is to vaccinate as many Americans as possible, why not have the mandate apply to welfare recipients?
A welfare recipient can refuse the vaccine and continue to collect his welfare. But a Navy SEAL who refuses the vaccine will be fired.
That's just dripping with common sense.
