COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

Then it’s no problem if that safety and effectiveness is checked scientifically, as many times as people want.
Please provide an example of the US Congress scientifically investigating anything.

It’s political theater, meant to provide sound bites for media and fundraising efforts.

I’m all for investigating vaccine efficacy and safety, but Congress is not the body to perform such investigations. And I mean both the House and Senate, not just one or the other.

I don’t need to provide anything. Congress didn’t get their special powers to investigate things for no reason and whether you like it or not, they have that right.

If there’s nothing wrong with the vaccines you have nothing to fear.

I agree that Congress has the right to investigate, I just wanted to point out that the investigation won’t necessarily be scientific in nature.
You know, if there actually was an investigation that people could trust, then more people might agree with you.

On the other hand, is everyone going to trust an investigation done by Congress? I mean, if both sides endorsed the results, then maybe...

Nothing unites both sides of the aisle like special interest who donate to both parties.
