Biden to announce vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees
The move could affect as many as 100 million Americans
By Andrew Mark Miller

President Joe Biden is announcing Thursday that all employers with more than 100 workers will be forced to require coronavirus vaccinations or test employees weekly.

The mandate will be announced Thursday afternoon and is expected to affect as many as 100 million Americans.

The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated.

Biden will have OSHA make a rule requiring employees of companies to be tested. Companies will have to pay for the testing, but they can pass the cost on to employees.

Biden is also signing an executive order to require vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government - with no option to test instead. That covers several million more workers.

In addition to the vaccination requirements, Biden is moving to double federal fines for airline passengers who refuse to wear masks on flights or to maintain face-covering requirements on federal property in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

The rule would also require that large companies provide paid time off for vaccination

According to Forbes, Businesses that refuse to comply with the mandate will open themselves up to hefty fines up to nearly $14,000 per violation.

In July, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that a federal vaccine mandate was "not the role of the federal government."

Yet another reason to dislike the old, senile bastard. It is quite evident that progs just don't like freedom for anyone but themselves. On the bright side, this will help small employers. Plus, I am thinking that this will boomerang on Dementia Joe. Those vaccinations aren't working so well anymore. So, not likely to help that much.

Hi. I'm Mike.

We will see how the lawsuits turn out. As I have said in the past, dem administrations are a gold mine for lawyers. That's why the trial lawyers are one of the largest dem donor groups.

He took the onus from the companies and placed it on himself. That is a very presidential move.

-------------------------
I was right.

Yep, and 99% of people will comply! A lot of people who have been skeptical for whatever reason will suddenly change their tune. As now it comes down to a choice between holding that whatever reason VS one's financial stability and very few people are going to risk that.

BLOWHARD.

Hmm, FK calling for civil war. Time for a visit to the FBI hotline.

Polio vaccines are mandatory.

And, they work!

Civil War? You Lose.

It'll get the FK types riled up enough to show up on Sept 18th, so they can try to pull some traitor stunt and wind up in the dirt.

Seems like everything is lining right up.



The dumb thing, though.. is that this is not *requiring* ANYONE to get the vaccine. It's just putting the burden of not spreading Covid back onto the problem Dotard.

Don't want a vaccine? Fine- you gotta get tested once a week, or don't show up to work.

That's the breaks dude. We don't want your Covid.

Bitch and cry all you want about it, but we are tired of having to go out of our way to suffer fools.

FBI Hotline is a great idea..

On giving this some thought, it seems clear to me that Biden's puppet masters know that most of this won't fly. Probably meant to be a diversion and to fire up those fewer and fewer idiots who still support him. From the comments of the idiot corps, the latter goal seems to have worked.

So you finally figured out what Trump was doing to you and your dotard crew the last 6 years.

Congratulations, Einstein.

Hi. I'm Mike.

So, checked the news. Nothing about a US civil war. Still whistling Dixie?

-------------------------
add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

Federal "over reach" is one thing but, the Supreme Court has already ruled that the States can make any vaccine Mandatory.
