Biden to mandate vaccination or weekly testing for companies over 100 employees

I agree. I'm not even sure he can do it for federal employees and contractors.
That has a direct impact on my company. We have service contracts in place with several Military Bands, Walter Reed, NIH, and routinely sell or rent instruments to the government. Everybody that has involvement with those projects (me, the operations manager, technician/tuner, and delivery crew are all vaccinated but none of us like the idea of being forced to be vaccinated and forcing our staff to be vaccinated.

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.

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?

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.

Imagine if he had been that angry against the Taliban?

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

I don’t think this ends a bit worse than doofuses taking selfies

Loki made an exit? I must have missed it.

Another thing.

By what authority does he mandate employers to implement this policy. This mandate will spend months and months in court.
And he's going to lose.

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.

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