Duncan claims vote thwarts a Biden directive

Rep. Jeff Duncan, South Carolina Republican in the 3rd District, believes a bi-partisan vote of 227-203 is a victory toward ending a Biden administration mandate that healthcare workers are required to take the COVID vaccine as a condition of keeping their jobs.  “I began leading the charge”, said Duncan, “against Joe Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandate in 2021, when the frontline workers who were praised as heroes in the early days of the pandemic were forced to get the shot or get out, even as we struggled with a nationwide staff shortage in the health care industry.”
