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.
