Face masks no longer mandated on House floor for those fully vaccinated

The idiots who refuse to be vaccinated have to wear masks




Facial coverings will no longer be necessary on the US House floor for those fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

House members, staff and visitors can go maskless in interior spaces if they have been fully vaccinated, according to updated guidance sent out Friday from Congress' attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan.

Individuals who aren't fully vaccinated will still be required to wear a mask and socially distance.

The decrease of community transmission and the increase in the rate of vaccinations led to this announcement, a senior Democratic aide told CNN, with the Capitol Hill complex now at an 85% vaccination rate.

I understand there are quite a few repukes who refuse to be vaccinated and will fight the mask requirement. The crazy Green, Brobert, Gosar, Biggs etc come to mind.

I don’t see them checking vaccination documentation on the floor of the House.
