Republicans’ plan to shut down the government on purpose to sabotage our pandemic response is extraordinarily cynical and dangerous. 
The government runs out of funding in two days, but rather than work with us to prevent a shutdown, key Republicans in both chambers are instead announcing they want a shutdown to undermine vaccination efforts -- as the potential threat from omicron looms. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
Vaccines are vital to fight this pandemic and keep Americans healthy. Countering vaccination efforts at what may be one of the most critical moments of the pandemic could have disastrous consequences for the American people and the recovering U.S. economy.

A shutdown would harm millions of federal workers and contractors and their families, and show our allies and adversaries we can be stopped from functioning in an emergency by a handful of ideologues who only care about appeasing the most radical elements in their political base.
Anti-science Republicans are publicly stating their strategy: to force a choice between a return to the unchecked spread of Covid we had with the last Administration and their self-destructive governance that produced the longest government shutdown ever.

Republicans must drop their threat to block Senate votes on government funding, give up this idea of an anti-vax shutdown, and allow votes on legislation to keep the government running.
