At a Congressional hearing on COVID-19 vaccinations and other treatments on Wednesday, Congressman Steve Scalise (R-LA) slammed President Joe Biden for his vaccine mandates and punitive approach for health care workers who refuse to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

“Though there is still plenty left to learn about COVID, one thing we know for sure at this point is that vaccinations are not a panacea against preventing the spread of the virus,” Scalise said during the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis hearing, entitled “A Global Crisis Needs a Global Solution: The Urgent Need to Accelerate Vaccinations Around the World.”

“Despite these facts, after nearly a year in office, President Biden still has no real strategy to protect American families from COVID,” the ranking member on the Coronavirus Crisis committee added.
