A recent vote concluded that the majority of United States Senators voted Thursday against prohibiting future bills that fund Covid-19 inoculation mandates.
The denied amendment, #4929, officially states it is intended “to prohibit funding for COVID-19 vaccine mandates.” The amendment was a proposed addition to congressional bill H.R.6617.” It was sponsored by Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
Rejection of the amendment came with a vote of 46-47. While results were straight party-line, nonvoters in the GOP killed any chances of its passing.
The Republicans who abstained from voting, destroying any and all chances for the anti-mandate initiate to pass, include Lindsey Graham (SC), Mitt Romney, (UT), Inhofe (OK), and Burr (NC).

The conservative House Freedom Caucus has fully endorsed the aforementioned amendment, making news Wednesday after they shared a letter with the Washington Examiner urging Senate Republicans to stand against federal Covid-19 vaccine mandates before voting to fund the government as the Friday shutdown deadline approaches.
“We urge you — and all Senators — not to just seek to ‘process amendments,’ but to seek the only resolution a free people deserve: defunding President Biden’s harmful vaccine mandates,” the caucus wrote in the letter.
