Are you getting that feeling you're going to stop having sympathy for those who refuse to get vaccinated?
I mean if your family members, your friends, your co-workers, your local leaders, celebrities and people in the news refuse to get vaccinate, should they be the sacrificial lambs?
Nearly 40 maskless House Karen lawmakers walked across the Capitol and onto the Senate floor in protest of the Capitol physician's decision to reinstate a mask mandate in the lower chamber but not in the upper chamber.
With the rise of COVID-19 on the rise in the United States, President Joe Biden has no choice but to revert to the pandemic playbook to keep Americans safe. The Republicans and the unvaccinated refuse to get on board with the plan.
The president reads his daily death card. He often carries his notes to detail the seriousness of the pandemic. The surge in cases is the delta variant of the coronavirus. The virus is making more people sick and those who are not fully vaccinated could die.
As we speak we're over 645,000 Americans dead. We're still gunning for 1 million by the end of the year.
The coronavirus does give two fucks about your life. It doesn't care about your job, your finances, your vacation, your events, your birthday, your race, your gender, your social standings, your popularity, your depression, your nationality, your religion, your religious views, your conspiracy theories and your fucking political views.
It's deadly virus that has killed 10 million worldwide. All those innocent lives.
Thanks to Washed Up 45, Republicans, Fox, Newsmax, OANN and social media, we're going backwards.
"At least in the Senate, they're recognizing individual responsibility and following science, not just using this as a political tool," Rep. Karen Loudermilk (R-GA) told The Hill. "So, what are we doing: following the science or Pelosi’s political moves? It's Pelosi’s political moves."
The GOP lawmakers, who have Senate floor privileges as members of the House, tried to time their protest with a speech by Sen. Karen Lee (R-UT) on individual freedom.
It came on the same day that the U.S. Capitol Police said that congressional aides and visitors could face arrest if they refuse to wear a mask on the House side of the Capitol complex, including the Rayburn, Longworth and Cannon office buildings. But as of Thursday afternoon, there were zero arrests even as dozens of House lawmakers and staffers walked around the Capitol's hallways without donning a mask.
Madam Speaker, your insane power grab is showing. Today I’m not wearing a mask outside of the chamber b/c I follow science — not Pelosi. Come and get me. pic.twitter.com/7vDNn4Tzke

Capitol physician Brian Monahan's new mask rules comes amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, mostly in red states where the vaccination rate is low. Most of those new cases have been identified as the delta variant, which is much more contagious, health experts have said.
In recent days, two House Republicans have informed their colleagues and staff that they have tested positive for the coronavirus: Reps. Karen Buchanan of Florida and Karen Higgins of Louisiana.
Earlier Thursday, Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said masks will once again be required indoors in D.C. starting this weekend. Public school districts across the country, including in the D.C. area, also announced that students, teachers and staff will have to wear masks indoors once kids head back in the fall.
And in a speech Thursday, President Biden said all federal workers will now be required to verify they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or face mandatory mask wearing and weekly testing.
"It’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Biden said at the White House. “People are dying who don’t have to die."

The U.S. Capitol Police who are tasked to protect the Capitol and lawmakers have made it clear: "Fuck around and find out!" They have made a posting warning lawmakers, staffers and visitors that if you fail to comply, you will be denied entry and face possible arrest.
They issue a simple warning: Comply with the mask mandates of the Capitol Physician or face the consequences.
The Republicans already are facing fines for going past metal detectors. Many of these lawmakers are at risk of spreading the coronavirus. Some refuse to acknowledge they were vaccinated.
I know that Rep. Karen Mace (R-SC) is no dummy. She plays one on television and radio, but the mother of two from North Charleston got vaccinated. She is not Rep. Karen Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Karen Cawthorn (R-NC) or Rep. Marjorie Karen Greene (R-GA). But she is a part of the do nothing lawmakers who act like activists and social media clout chasers.
Similar to the Democratic members of the Squad, the Republicans who appear on Fox or far-right platforms are not doing much other playing gotcha politics and social media click bait.
These idiots are gambling with their lives.
