Roger Marshall, took aim at President Joe Biden\u2019s announced vaccine mandates for federal <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/09\/biden-white-house-federal-workers-contractors-vaccine-mandate-coronavirus-pandemic\/\">employees<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/09\/joe-biden-require-private-companies-100-more-employees-mandate-vaccines-weekly-testing-coronavirus\/\">companies<\/a> with more than 100 employees. The amendment, which required 60 votes to pass, failed 50-50.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife and I got the vaccine. My parents got the vaccine and they\u2019re waiting to get their booster. But whether to receive it is a personal choice between individuals and their doctor, not mandated via unconstitutional executive actions that the administration recently acknowledged they didn\u2019t have authority to put in place,\u201d Marshall said in support of the amendment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo precedent exists in American history for punishing private employers who don\u2019t enforce government vaccination edicts. Astonishingly, House Democrats included fines up to $700,000 on businesses that have unvaccinated employees as a way to pay for their out of control spending. Make no mistake, this vaccine mandate is not about public health or science. If it were, we\u2019d recognize natural immunity. We\u2019d recognize natural immunity as a highly effective way to combat the virus,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WATCH:&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/><\/h3>\n<p>Republicans have introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/24\/andy-biggs-bill-prohibits-federal-vaccine-mandates\/\">multiple<\/a> pieces of <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/30\/house-republicans-bill-joe-biden-vaccine-mandates-claudia-tenney-jim-banks\/\">legislation<\/a> to roll back Biden\u2019s executive order mandating vaccines for federal employees and contractors and instructions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to create a rule requiring vaccine mandates for private businesses with more than 100 employees.
