WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, released the following video message after receiving the first of two injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. In the video message, Guthrie said the following:
"I’m Congressman Brett Guthrie. I’m on the Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, the ranking member. I had responsibility for the legislative oversight of the development of the vaccines, so I’ve been following these vaccines since the inception of Operation Warp Speed (OWS). I wanted to say that I took the vaccine today. I took it for the purpose of illustrating that I find it extremely safe, extremely effective, and I have no concerns about taking the vaccine. Always talk with your health care provider who provides it for you, but the vaccine is safe and effective. I’m willing to take it, and I encourage everybody to take the vaccine when it becomes available because we need to make sure that we beat this coronavirus." The Office of the Attending Physician received Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doses and strongly recommended the vaccine. While Guthrie has oversight of federal health agencies and COVID-19 vaccine development, this distribution to Congress was not his decision.

i don't understand why you would use your position to jump in front of people who need it. Do you really think you taking vaccine influence anyone? My mother is 85yo and has been staying home by herself since March these weeks she has to wait might seam small to you be it's not. And while we see people on both sides running up to get the shot the difference is she voted for you and you took her place

You obviously didn't read the article. It clearly states "While Guthrie has oversight of federal health agencies and COVID-19 vaccine development, this distribution to Congress was not his decision." But based on your communication skills displayed in the above comment, you might not even know how to read. It's a shame they haven't come up with an IDIOT vaccine.
