Mitch McConnell âPerplexedâ By COVID-19 Vaccine Resistance His Own Party Is Pushing
âI can only speak for myself,â the top Republican in the Senate said when asked about other GOP senators fueling vaccine hesitancy.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) again urged Americans to get vaccinated to protect themselves and their loved ones from the deadly COVID-19 virus as the pace of vaccinations slows across the country.
At a press conference on Tuesday, he said he was âperplexedâ by some peopleâs reluctance to get vaccinated.Â
âWe need to keep preaching that getting the vaccine is important,â said McConnell, who survived polio as a child. âWe need to finish the job. Part of it is just convincing the American people of the importance of doing this. Everyone who knows the subject says that if you get the disease, chances are pretty good youâre not going to die from it if you get vaccinated.â
