Members of Congress and all Americans in two generations should not get a COVID-19 vaccine until seniors do, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said Thursday.

“I’m calling on every member of Congress & their staff, and all millennials/Gen Xers, to join me in refusing to take the COVID vaccine until after our parents & grandparents can get it. Put our seniors over 65 first. They are the most vulnerable to serious illness or death,” Gabbard said in a social media statement.
