WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell implored unvaccinated Americans Tuesday to take the COVID-19 shot, issuing a stark and grave warning of a repeat of last year’s shutdowns if people refuse to protect themselves from the coronavirus.
McConnell urged Americans to ignore the “demonstrably bad advice” coming from pundits and others against the vaccines. As caseloads skyrocket, he noted that nearly all the new virus hospitalizations in the U.S. are among people who have not been vaccinated.
“If there is anybody out there willing to listen: Get vaccinated,” McConnell, R-Ky., said at his weekly press conference at the Capitol.
“These shots need to get in everybody’s arms as rapidly as possible or we’re going to be back in a situation in the fall that we don’t yearn for — that we went through last year,” he said. “This is not complicated.”
McConnell has been one of the most outspoken members of his party in urging vaccinations to stop the virus spread, speaking often in his home state of Kentucky of the need for people to get the shot.

How many have been harmed and died from the VAX?
What do you think about house to house questioning?
All he needs to do is whisper, and he will sound exactly like Biden...
“Fine, but you’re not a public official charged with keeping as many people as possible safe.”
Semi, respectfuuly, no public official has that charge. Public officials are charged to faithfully execute Constitutional laws and legal orders emanating therefrom. The charge as you define it is exactly what dictators and tyrants use to usurp power and destroy freedom.
It's not. Getting vaccinated, on the other hand...
Probably a bad, counterproductive idea.
“vaccine isn’t working on variant delta in highly vaccinated Israel“
From your link “ Israel has detected about 40 percent to 50 percent of new cases in the vaccinated population, although, he added that the symptoms of the otherwise sometimes severe infection were mostly mild.”
While some of the vaccinated are getting COVID, the cases are mostly mild. That says the vaccine is helping. Also note that while 40-50% of new cases are in people who are vaccinated, Israel has 57.9% of its population vaccinated, 81% of those over 16. Given those stats, if the vaccination was ineffective one would expect a higher percentage of cases among the vaccinated.
My health-or anyone else’s-is not the “safety” public officials/government are supposed to be concerned with-and attempts to coerce, threaten, and outright lie to people is not only infringing on people’s rights, it is definitely not conducive to keeping people “safe”-whatever that means-the only safety the government needs to be concerned with is protecting the people from attack, etc-and if the CIA, FBI and all the other overt and covert security our tax dollars finance had been watching China instead of chasing Russian conspiracy theories, etc, the virus might not have even gotten out of China to be used as a way to steal an election and break an economy-those security agencies need to be re-organized, people fired, then put back into their own lane and made to stay there-after this fiasco, it is obvious they can’t even keep the fish in an aquarium safe...
How about Big Pharma for starters.
Our public health officials do and suppressing a pandemic is clearly a national security issue. Many would also argue public health is covered by the general welfare clause.
In DC? Nothing. These people think they are going to take back control of the Senate and House? HA
They will lose seats in both. Personally I can't wait to not vote for any of these creeps in DC. Going to get a big ol "I Didn't Vote" sticker. Now Texas races I will absolutely be voting. DC can go to hell.
i refuse to accept vaccine advice from the people that are helping spread the virus...
Probably?
Neither of us know what the door-to-door thing entails.
If they come a-knockin’ over here, I’ll just act like it’s Hungry Howie’s at the door and tell them that I never ordered one of their G-damned pizzas!
Cram it Mitch!
While some of the vaccinated are getting COVID, the cases are mostly mild. That says the vaccine is helping.
maybe not maybe the covid mutatated to be more easily caught but less damaging..i think that is a natural occu=rance in many viruses..
Enemy McConnell advises.....
