Today, January 13th, 2021, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02), a physician and former Director of Iowa’s Department of Public Health, released the following statement after the United States Supreme Court’s decision to block the Biden Administration’s federal vaccine mandate for businesses:
“Today’s decision from the Supreme Court is a win for businesses and workers across this country. The Court has acknowledged that this vaccine mandate is a massive overreach by the Biden Administration. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated, but I do not believe in overreaching federal mandates. Main Street is already facing the real-world effects of a labor shortage, a mismanaged supply chain, and inflation rates that we have not seen in decades. Every American should be able to decide if a vaccine is right for them, just like I did. Let’s work to keep businesses open and Americans employed, not shuttered, jobless, and hopeless.”
Background:
Miller-Meeks has cosponsored several pieces of legislation to block the implementation of the vaccine mandate, including the Stop Vaccine Mandates Act, the No Vaccine Mandate Act, and a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the vaccine mandate.
