I guess we are not the only ones saying that they keep moving the goal posts. The doctors and health care professionals in the House have asked Nancy Pelosi why she hasn't removed the restrictions now that the good folks of the house has either been vaccinated or already had COVID. I thought it was interesting that they specifically brought up the "already had it part".
From the article:
Eighteen Republican doctors and health care providers in Congress sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asking when the COVID-19 restrictions will be lifted from the chamber, now that most members have been vaccinated.
"We all now realize that the current state of Congress is not working," the group of lawmakers wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Fox News. "The restrictions on [the] voting process, the phenomenon of widespread proxy voting, and remote hearings have all contributed to the current state of dysfunction."
"If a majority of Members are vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19, why are you still preventing normal operations?" the lawmakers asked. "As Members of Congress with medical backgrounds, we have worked vigorously to educate our constituents, and fellow Members in the House, that though the timeline of the COVID-19 vaccines was accelerated, the process was safe."
The group pointed out that the "promise of a return to pre-pandemic normalcy was the goal" and declared that Congress "must set an example" since so many of the members have received their vaccines.
