Lawmakers, like the rest of the country, are all eligible for the coronavirus vaccine. ButPresident Biden’s speech to Congress last week looked like he was addressing a group that hadn’t gotten a single shot.
With a crowd a fraction of its usual size — and those present all socially distancing and wearing masks — the speech underscored how life on Capitol Hill has been slow to return to normal and how difficult it is to persuade holdouts to get immunized.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) estimated a day after the address that about 75 percent of House members have been vaccinated, a figure unchanged since March.
Until more members get vaccinated, Pelosi said, the House won’t return to pre-pandemic operations.
