Washington — President Joe Biden on Thursday is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery.
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.

This is headed to the Supreme Court. He doesn’t have the authority to order this.

Next they will demand allegiance to the swamp and all for which it stands, with liberty and justice for only the marxists and communists in charge of our lives.

We can hope #1 but ACB refused to hear a case which allowed colleges to mandate vaccines.
Every branch of government is completely useless!

I've had the jabs. Both of them. I have the card verifying this. Had I know it was coming to this I would have made a video of the nurse jabbing me. Next step is you will be refused Medicare, Social Security, and IRS refunds unless you have prove you've been jabbed. It would be a good idea to brush after every meal. But no politician has the right to require you to.

Agree--no authority. It's just window dressing before it gets shot down by the courts. Pretty soon Covid is going to run its course and Biden will take credit. Credit he doesn't deserve.

Who does he think he is? I mean really. He is not supposed to be a dictator but sure sounds like one. It shouldn't even have to go to any court. Government does not run private businesses. Or so I thought.
Make it a law sunshine. If you can.

And so the Push becomes a Shove. It is remarkable to me that between what The Government refuses to do (the border, Afghan, crime, really all things security, etc) to the mandates and attempts at purely FORCEING Americans to do what they have decided for themselves not to do, that we are reacting as meekly as it would appear. I truly hope there is some serious leader in the wings waiting to roar on our behalf. Rush is beyond us now, Trump has been squelched and there are a few too many lunatics on our side paraded around as if they speak for us. Outnumbered only by the Republican party which seems to have nothing useful to say. If that is not true, perhaps Media is quietly erasing them but I hear very little encouraging words for a clearly foundering America.

The health care staffing shortage problem is about to get a lot worse thanks to Joe's mandate. Doctors , nurses, CNAs, health care aides Home Healthcare Workers, and everyone else remotely affiliated with Medicare/Medicaid will now be forced to be vaccinated or quit. They worked all last year without vaccine, and are now just treated like yesterday's trash. This is government overreach.

Mandate anything you want, ballsack. I will never take your poison no matter what you try to pull. And, since my job is 100% work from home now permanently (my employer refuses to mandate the vaccine and we are a Fortune 100), you cannot make me take it.
My employer saw this coming a while back, and pretty much told those of us with 100% telework to not bother coming into the office anymore. I think this was their way of keeping their talent intact without having to play this game. Since we never go in, there is no reason at all to take their clot shot.
So, Lunch Bucket, you can FOAD.

I never thought I would see the country my father fought for in World War II come to this. Our freedoms are being eroded one by one. Meanwhile, more and more of the vaccinated are coming down with COVID - some even landing in ICU.

“We know that increasing vaccinations will stop the spread of the pandemic, will get the pandemic under control, will return people to normal life. That’s what our objective is. So we want to be specific about what we’re trying to achieve,” Psaki said.
Really? Then why are there more infections now than this time last year, with 65% of the population vaccinated?
How was India able to stop the plandemic cold without widespread use of the clot shot?
You all can really go F yourselves. We need to send these damn commies on a one way trip to the Sun.

Came across my union handbook and even tho it was printed years before covid was a thing, it states the company can indeed mandate vaccines. Go figure.

DeBlabio is requiring it of all NYPD - if he thinks crime is an issue in that city now, wait until his entire police force walks out.

Unfortunately, we assume most will quit rather than get the clot shot. The large Ft. Worth hospital my niece works at lost some but not that many nurses in their OB-GYN area. Most went ahead and took the shot. More will cave to social pressure and financial disruption than we more stubborn types think.

From what I have read from doctor types, there are going to be a lot of dead people in about 3 years. From effects of the 'shot.'

How about that, the very same people that said Trump was Hitler are now trying to force you to get an experimental injection and make you "show papers please" or else lose your job.

If having over 50% of the population vaccinated hasn't stopped a "surge" in Covid case numbers, what makes the Biden administration think that having more people vaccinated is going to stop it? There's a lack of logic here, which Associated Press appears to have ignored.

The Constitution does not give King Joe the authority to issue mandates.
