South Dakota Republican Rep. Dusty Johnson speaks during a press conference about COVID-19 in September 2020.South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson, a Republican, on Friday said he would allow his constituents to vote whether he got the COVID-19 vaccine now or waited to receive it until it was widely available.
Johnson, the only member of the US House of Representatives from South Dakota, said there were "good arguments can be made on both sides" as to whether he should receive early access to the vaccine or wait to receive it. "We have the COVID-19 vaccine, and that's a critically important development in the fight against the pandemic," Johnson, a Republican, said in a. "Now the attending physician of the House has made the vaccine available to members of Congress. I will get the vaccine but the question is when."
I hope they vote no.
