Ralph Norman states that he was vaccinated in February and that his symptoms 'remain mild'

The latter member of this group, South Carolina Rep. Norman, described Pelosi’s order and others like it as “a harmful combination of virtue signaling and unjustified fear.
But on Thursday, there was some evidence to suggest the mandate was justified: After experiencing symptoms, Norman announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will quarantine for 10 days. The 68-year-old, who states that he was vaccinated in February, thankfully added that his “symptoms remain mild.”
Norman is not the only GOP representative to contract the virus in recent weeks: Both Florida Rep. Vern Buchanan and Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins tested positive in July. Nor are Norman, Massie, and Greene the only Republicans to rebel against the House mask mandate: Last week, they were joined by several dozen more GOP representatives who barged onto the Senate floor without face coverings to protest their inconvenience.
In quarantine — with his colleagues on vacation no less — Norman may have time to reflect on last week’s Senate stunt, as well as several others from his time in office, including a sexual assault joke during the Kavanaugh hearings and pulling out a loaded gun during a conversation with constituents about violence prevention.
