More from the folks over at Fox News:

In a 59-38 vote, senators — including several Democrats — voted in favor of the amendment brought forth by Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, which restricts any federal funds from being used to enforce mask mandates on passenger flights, trains, transit buses, and other publicly funded transportation through the next fiscal year.

Vance called the passage “a massive victory for personal freedom” in a statement Wednesday.

“We saw countless abuses of authority throughout the COVID pandemic, and the American people were justifiably enraged by unscientific mask mandates,” he said.

This is a significant amendment to pass, especially now that campaign season is just around the corner.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Democrats tried to spin another pandemic in hopes of helping them win the 2024 election.

The American people are tired of having to wear masks.

Masks that don’t even work at preventing any illness.

Now, all we need is legislation that prevents anyone from requiring vaccination.

It is painfully obvious that the vaccines have done nothing but harm the people in our country.
