That\u2019s not what we need right now in Virginia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outgoing Attorney General Mark Herring (D) appears to be unhappy with Miyares\u2019 intentions, while implying the incoming administration does not believe in vaccines, telling WRIC, \u201cIt\u2019s a shame that there are individuals who do not appear to believe that protecting Americans is important, and instead are fighting to overturn this crucial vaccine policy. Vaccines work. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Virginia and this country are in the midst of the worst COVID surge since the pandemic began almost two years ago. Vaccines and boosters have proven to be incredibly effective in keeping cases mild and preventing hospitalizations or death \u2013 and are really the only way that we will ever move past this crisis. Throughout this pandemic, the Biden Administration has worked tirelessly to keep Americans, their families, and their communities safe and healthy. It\u2019s a shame that there are individuals who do not appear to believe that protecting Americans is important, and instead are fighting to overturn this crucial vaccine policy. Vaccines work.
