Summary

And in the weeks since Jan. 6, metal detectors have been installed at each entrance for screening everyone entering the House chamber.Across the Capitol, senators have been meeting in person for months and began shedding masks immediately following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) announcement last month that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can forgo facial coverings in most settings.But it’s always been a different dynamic in the upper chamber, where nearly all of its members voluntarily complied with mask-wearing when recommended and, according to a recent CNN survey, are now vaccinated.By contrast, a sizable number of House Republicans resisted mask recommendations from the beginning. No one should be shamed or forced into admitting whether or not they’ve received the vaccination, because it’s private health information that no one should be asking,” Good said.“I appreciate you asking, but that is my right to keep my medical information private,” echoed Greene.Rep. Thomas MassieThomas Harold Massie21 Republicans vote against awarding medals to police who defended Capitol on Jan. 6 House GOP fights back against mask, metal detector fines Massie, Greene trash mask violation warnings from House sergeant at arms MORE (R-Ky.), who previously tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies, confirmed he is not vaccinated and cited his own review of clinical trial data on the effectiveness of vaccines for people who recovered from the virus.
