House votes to end COVID health emergency, Biden is ignored

Catching a nap

The Republican controlled House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to end the public health emergency regarding COVID-19 in spite of the Biden administration wanting to keep it in place until the end of time. The move even won some support from House Democrats on a second bill that would end the government’s unreasonable requirement that federal health care workers must be vaccinated against the China virus, making the administration look as impotent as Hunter after his fourth prostitute.

Both bills – the Pandemic is Over Act and the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act – were planned by Republicans last week, and late Monday, the White House announced that it will terminate the national COVID emergency on May 11. The White House also announced its opposition to the two bills up today as the President awakened from his long winter's nap.

But Republicans pressed on anyway, and easily passed both measures despite the GOP's narrow majority in the House because the country is sick and tired of being told what to do.

The Pandemic is Over Act, which would end the public health emergency, passed 220-210 in a vote that saw every Republican vote for it and every Democrat vote against it because they never want to see it end, no matter what.

But the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, which would end the vaccination requirement for federal health care workers, passed 227-203 with help from seven Democrats, in spite of their leaders on the House floor arguing against both bills.

 Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), said he opposes the Pandemic is Over Act because it would "abruptly and irresponsibly end the COVID-19 public health emergency virtually overnight," and Democrats on the floor similarly argued against the bill to end the vaccine requirement. They believe the nation needs at least another 20 years before allowing people to travel maskless even solo in their own vehicles, just to be safe.

Support among Democrats for maintaining a high state of emergency related to COVID has waned in the months since President Biden mumbled in an interview that the "pandemic is over." [If Joe said it, it must be true as long as he gave his word 'as a Biden.']

 Late last year, the Democrat-led House and Senate each approved a defense policy bill that required the Pentagon to end its COVID-19 vaccine mandate – that bill passed easily in the House, in a 350-80 vote, so it appears as if the Left doesn't really believe the pandemic is real anymore, or else it's okay if military personnel die from the China virus.

Nonetheless, the White House said this week it opposes the GOP attempt to eliminate the vaccination requirement for health care workers and said President Biden would do as he was told and veto the bill if it passed the House and the Senate.
