I don't like it either. I'd like them to be putting out more reliable information about relative risk and the benefit of vaccination. Persuasion above coercion. I'm afraid what he is doing may backfire and simply make the antivaxxers more entrenched in their position.

Nice.

I thought we were supposed to be approaching Herd Immunity according to the CDC? The southern surge is dropping, we can expect a few more Delta surges elsewhere in the country, but the Boosters to the most at risk should mitigate the effects. Is this a solution in search of a problem?

President Trump said, regarding immigration: ""If these governors won’t help beat the
pandemicillegal border crossings, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way."Oh, wait.
That was 2 hours ago.

Provides cover for companies to issue their own mandates.
I don’t really see this as news, the train left the station weeks ago. As more people get vaccinated schools will be able to stay open, less people will die and healthcare institutions will be able to address the needs of their employees and patients much better. Wins all around. If the goal is to eliminate all naysayers in life you will never succeed, you just need our institutions rowing in the same direction.
Mostly this is about stemming the slide in the polls.

Democrats seem to like the president's ideas about vaccines
Republicans don't seem to like them

He is literally treating American anti-vaxxers with more hostility. He sure as hell isn't calling the latter his "partners."

Another thing.

By what authority does he mandate employers to implement this policy. This mandate will spend months and months in court.

But it will cause a tremendous amount of problems for a lot of people in the meantime.

He betrays and abandons Americans, NATO allies, and our Afghan Allies… He excuses away the Americans left behind because they have dual citizenships… He praises actual terrorists and threatens 80,000,000 of his fellow citizens less than three days after the CDC gave very encouraging news, two days after we got great news about the effectiveness of natural immunity, and after a month of significant improvements in vaccination numbers.
This guy is a disaster.

Today was all about approval ratings and moving the focus off Afghanistan.

Kindly elaborate on how he "threatened 80,000,000 of his fellow citizens." Thanks.

He’s hoping if the anti vax crowd starts screaming about this it changes the subject to something where more will support him. I have to say it was probably the most skillful move his team has made yet.

I’m still trying to figure out what the win is to fight.
