Nebraska’s Third District Congressman says the Biden Administration’s recent messaging on coronavirus has been nothing but frustrating for the American public.
Adrian Smith discussed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s latest guidance on masking for vaccinated individuals, saying he stands with Governor Ricketts’ opposition to and concerns with the latest changes.
“The CDC is actually undermining the effectiveness of the vaccine itself, it can end up discouraging people from getting the vaccine,” said Smith. “Here in the House of Representatives, the Speaker has chosen to be even more restrictive (on masks) that what the CDC guidance is. Again, this sends the wrong message to the American people.”
Meanwhile, Smith says word that the Administration is considering re-imposition of COVID-related travel bans involving certain countries is very inconsistent.
He says the same people who criticized former President Trump for a travel ban are looking at new ones, and yet the southern border with Mexico remains very porous.
