U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley told University of Dubuque students Thursday that he supported businesses’ right to mandate staff vaccinations and that tackling medical and other misinformation online would take a bipartisan effort. The longtime Republican Iowa senator visited the university to meet with students in the physician assistant master’s degree program. During the hourlong question-and-answer session with students and staff, several members of the 70-person crowd asked about possible next steps in the federal government’s response to COVID-19. Grassley said people need to be vaccinated. He said he has been vaccinated and he’s had COVID and he doesn’t want to have it again.
