President Biden in a Covid-19 briefing Tuesday thanked Republicans pushing vaccination, singling out Sen. Biden thanked "prominent conservatives like Mitch McConnell" and a "large group" of Republicans with medical training who are pushing Americans to get vaccinated so that life can return to normal. He added that he hopes to have 160 million Americans fully vaccinated by that date. "Just received the safe, effective COVID vaccine following continuity-of-government protocols," McConnell said on Twitter after he received the shot. A group of GOP doctors in Congress released a video last month urging Americans to get vaccinated, pointing to greater freedoms under the vaccine.
