The House of Representatives may not return to normal operations unless all members get a COVID-19 vaccine, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday, shooting down calls from Republicans to open because about three quarters of the representatives have gotten shots.
“One of the most substantial steps that can be taken is that everybody should be vaccinated. Right now, according to what I saw the Republican leader say and was quoted in the press, that 75 percent of the members are vaccinated. We need 100 percent of the members vaccinated, because it just takes one to endanger others,” Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington.
