The jab or your job? That’s what 84-million Americans are facing after the Biden administration has finally, officially, released the President’s vaccine mandate against private businesses.
More than two dozen states are pushing back, and millions of employees say they’ll lose their jobs rather than take the shot. But the message from the Biden Administration is vaccine or bust. The President is demanding that all businesses with more than 100 employees should force them to take a COVID-19 vaccine.
The order calls for businesses to either require vaccinations – or – weekly testing for unvaccinated employees, and it appears those tests would be required at the employees’ own expense. The new mandate gives millions of Americans until January 4th to comply.
That includes 17 million healthcare workers in nursing homes and hospitals that receive money from Medicare and Medicaid. They do not have the option of testing out of the vaccine. Businesses that don’t find a way to enforce the mandate will face a $14,000 fine per violation.
At a hearing on Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Advisor on COVID-19, defended the extremely controversial move. “We know that vaccines absolutely save lives and we know that mandates work,” Fauci testified. States are pushing back with more than two dozen taking legal action.
“From the very beginning, I’ve told President Biden that I would defend the freedom of the people of South Dakota and that if he took this action that we would see him in court,” said South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) in a video on Twitter. “Today I’m announcing to you that we are joining several other states in filing litigation against this unconstitutional mandate.” READ MORE
