My 30 years of experience as a surgeon have guided my thinking throughout this process, and I know that it has been a safe one. It's a great feeling to finally see this miraculous project come to fruition. I encourage everyone to take the vaccine when they get the opportunity to do so. Until then, please continue to wear a mask and practice social distancing when in public.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:42:23Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases/murphy-takes-covid-19-vaccine"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8458050433546305, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
