As the new Covid-19 vaccines roll out, U.S. Congress members have been among the first to receive them, in the name of Government continuity. Never mind the fact that the action and inaction of our Congressional representatives have put us in the predicament that we find ourselves today.
Throughout the pandemic, half of the Congressional membership backed Trump's disdain for mask wearing and other preventive measures. Almost as many have condoned (if not fostered) his post election antics which have impaired any recent effective response to the crisis. Then there are those who have been throwing up roadblocks when bills to offer relief to unemployed citizens, small businesses and nearly bankrupt States have been presented.
Yes, many members of Congress who have been complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans are among those first in line for the cure. Their lack of courage is now matched by their lack of morality.
