BREAKING: House undermines Biden administration with vote on whether to immediately end COVID health emergency

Fox News:

The House on Tuesday ignored opposition from Illegitimate President Biden and voted to end the public health emergency related to COVID-19, and won some support from House Democrats on a second bill that would end the government’s requirement that federal health care workers must be vaccinated against COVID.

The two 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.

But Republicans pressed ahead anyway, and easily passed both measures despite the Republican Party’s narrow majority in the House.

Big victory for House Republicans today, who passed the Freedom For Health Care Workers Act to eliminate the federal #COVID19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, & the Pandemic is Over Act to officially end the public health emergency and cut unnecessary careless spending.

The Pandemic is Over Act passed by a vote of 220-210. Every Republican voted in favor of the measure, which would end the public health emergency.

Every Democrat, on the other hand, voted against it.

The Freedom for Health Care Workers Act did see bipartisan support, however. The measure that would halt the vaccination requirement for federal health care workers passed 227-203.

Seven Democrats helped it pass.

Representative Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) tweeted, “I am proud that my bill, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act just passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 227 to 203 to end Brain-Dead Biden’s COVID vaccine mandate on health care workers! This is a win for medical freedom and individual liberty.

“Imposing the COVID shot on health care workers is unscientific & un-American, esp. as we now know the COVID shot is ineffective at preventing transmission. This is an important step, but the fight is far from over. I’ll continue fighting to end all of @POTUS‘ remaining mandates.”

Yesterday, @POTUS announced an end to COVID emergency declarations in May — this gives us five months to prepare. Today, the House voted on a bill that would end these declarations as soon as it’s signed into law. The “Pandemic is Over Act” is shortsighted and irresponsible. pic.twitter.com/TYtQViiD2F

Today @HouseGOP took a step in the right direction as we passed the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act and the Pandemic is Over Act. These bills end the vaccine mandate on health care workers and end the COVID-19 public health emergency. https://t.co/uu1xV5EvOp

I also supported the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act to remove the COVID vaccine mandate on health care providers.

Our health care workers already make incredible sacrifices, and it’s imperative that they can continue to care for others without extra government hurdles.
