House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recent mask guidance update is based on a study that evaluated the efficacy of a COVID-19 vaccine that’s “not approved in America.”
“I just left speaking with Dr. Monahan from the House. He said he used the CDC recommendation on a report that hasn’t been printed yet,” McCarthy said on the House floor, referring to Dr. Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician of Congress.
