‘WE NEED TO GET ON WITH OUR LIVES’: Sen. Marshall Intros Bill to End COVID Emergency

Are you feeling Fauci Fatigue? Vaccines, masking, lockdowns, restrictions, mandates — when will it end? Senator Roger Marshall (R-KA) believes it probably won’t unless we stand up and do something about it.

According to Fox News, “Marshall’s bill would revoke many of the federal government’s expanded powers to respond to the pandemic on a national level.”

“With COVID cases and hospitalizations on the decline, 94 percent of Americans having immunity to COVID, mask mandates falling by the wayside, and 70 percent of Americans agreeing ‘it’s time we accept that COVID is here to stay’ and that ‘we just need to get on with our lives,’ it’s clear we need a new approach to COVID as we learn to live with it,” Marshall told Fox News Digital in a Monday email.

“That new approach starts with putting an end to the COVID national state of emergency,” the senator continued.

“Bad judgment and poor leadership from our nation’s health agencies have caused most Americans to live with an unhealthy fear of COVID-19,” Marshall wrote in an op-ed for the Daily Caller. “We must stop the obsession with COVID, stop living in fear and move forward. But first, the White House, CDC and national media will have to wean themselves off their fixation with eye-grabbing headlines that are causing Americans to live in fear.”
