“How do [Republicans] explain to the public that they’re shutting down government because they don’t want people to get vaccinated?” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says of the GOP, which is threatening a government shutdown. “Why don’t you go ask them. This is so silly. This is so silly we have people anti-science, anti-vaccination saying they’re going to shut down government over that and you’re asking me what’s our message. Our message is that we have to respect governance and we have to respect science, and that’s what we are going and we will pass this legislation.”
