On Thursday, Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced legislation that would require the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to release all records of information submitted to the FDA regarding the authorization of emergency use of, or licensing of all COVID-19 vaccines.

Let’s talk details. This is a long post, I know, but it’s important for everyone to understand just how bad the Democrats’ massive tax & spend package is going to be.
Remember, this bill isn’t even finalized yet. I’ve linked to their initial version below. As of now, this is a 2,465-page monster that will expand cradle-to-grave government dependence, make inflation worse, and put our… Read more »
More on Biden’s misguided vaccine mandate last week. To recap, the President has directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to write rules applying to EVERY company with more than 100 employees.
These rules would require workers to either be vaccinated or submit to weekly Covid testing. And get this: failure to comply could result in fines up to $14,000 per… Read more »
Moments ago, a VACCINE MANDATE was announced by President Biden. (After he previously opposed mandates.)
For companies with 100 or more employees, his "plan" would force those employees to either be vaccinated or submit to Covid testing at least once a week.
This is NOT within the President's authority, and is just another example of his overreach from the Oval Office. The courts need… Read more »

I'll reiterate, the CDC owed us this data, and this should have been released as part of their revised guidance. I don't believe there was malicious intention on the… Read more »
Government has absolutely no business implementing new mask mandates! This is particularly true on Capitol Hill, which ought to be a shining example for our entire nation. Instead, it's become an exercise in irrational anxiety.
Whether you get vaccinated or not, that’s your own decision! I did. In fact, the overwhelming majority of members and staff in this place are vaccinated, and I’d… Read more »
On Wednesday, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) issued the following statement concerning mask mandates in general, and more specifically the recent announcement by the House of Representatives' Attending Physician to once again implement mask requirements:

We can now add **patent theft** to the growing list of horrible policy decisions by President Biden. This is bad news on multiple levels. Here’s what’s going on…
