                            GET THE VACCINE

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, the coronavirus has gotten to levels in 
Memphis not known since last January; it is dangerous. Fortunately, 
today, the Pfizer vaccine was given final full approval by the FDA for 
all people 16 and over.
  This weekend, Phil Valentine, a conservative radio host in Nashville, 
passed away. Also, one of the greatest football players in Memphis, 
Danton Barto, 50 years of age, passed away. Both passed because they 
got COVID; neither had the vaccine. Both said toward the end of their 
life they wished they would have encouraged everyone to get the 
vaccine.
  I ask you, please get the vaccine. Let America continue its 
activities and culture and lifestyle as we have known it in the past.
