Jeff Duncan (R-SC), to introduce a Congressional Review Act (CRA)resolution yesterday to strike down the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandate rule for healthcare workers.\n\n\u201cOur healthcare heroes showed up to work even in the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said Graves. \u201cThey put their own lives on the line to save others. The federal government shouldn\u2019t be strong-arming their employers into firing them just because they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine. It\u2019s wrong and I\u2019m going to do everything I can to stop these mandates. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine should be a personal choice.\u201d\n\nCongressman Graves introduced a similar resolution last month to strike down the President\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vaccine mandate for private sector workers at companies with more than 100 employees.
