“The GOP Doctors Caucus along with House Republican Whip Steve Scalise and House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik will host a press conference to discuss the implications of the Delta Variant of COVID-19 at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 22 at the House Triangle on the East Front of the U.S. Capitol Building. WHAT: Press conference to discuss the need for individuals to get vaccinated, uncover the origins of the pandemic, and keep schools and businesses open.”

“Participants: House Republican Whip Steve Scalise (R-La), House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Members of the GOP Doctors Caucus, including: Rep Brad Wenstrup, DPM, (R-Ohio), Rep Andy Harris, MD, (R-Md), Rep Michael Burgess, MD, (R-Texas), Rep Greg Murphy, MD, (R-NC), Rep Mariannette Miller-Meeks, MD, (R-Iowa), Rep Mark Green, MD, (R-Tenn), Rep Neal Dunn, MD, (R-Fla), Rep John Joyce, MD, (R-Penn), Sen Roger Marshall, MD, (R-Kan)” says the presser announcement from the House Republican Conference leadership.

While these are mostly House members, there is one Senator participating, Roger Marshall of Kansas, which makes Rand Paul’s absence noteworthy. We know why Rand’s not joining but it just again throws into relief what a shitty doctor he is. If he can’t even grudgingly admit that the Coronavirus vaccines save lives then he should have his medical license revoked. Same goes for any healthcare practitioner in Congress who won’t grab their balls and do the right thing.
