president of United States, Joe Biden, will announce this afternoon the mandatory vaccination against coronavirus covid-19 of all employees of the federal government, a total of 2.1 million people, reported this Thursday the US media.
Biden is scheduled to announce the decision in a speech from the White House at 5:00 p.m. local time (9:00 p.m. GMT).
Interesting. I wonder how many will quit? Maybe that is the plan, weaken our country to the point of collapse. Same with the military.
Employees should sue for lack of benefit evidence. If the government is going to use the word ‘science’ it should be required to provide the sources, methods, and data behind it - not just say ‘science’.
Not secession, ejection of the anti American scum. WE are the USA, not them.
I can’t believe this. Imagine how many pregnant/nursing Federal Workers there are. They must be in abject fear right now hearing this from their Supervisors!!!!
My opinion is that our demented POTUS, or whomever does his thinking for him, didn’t think of that. To my liberal friends who read this I don’t hate you, or anyone else, but I do wonder how you can keep supporting this man. I feel sorry for Joe, who needs to spend his remaining few years in a nursing home, not the White House. What do you think about Joe, Dorris?
They’re too dug in. We have too many GOPeRINOs pretending to be on our side. Time to “dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another”.
Not saying you are a liberal?
Bidet ordering mandatory vaccines for unionized federal workers is like Adolph ordering twelve year old boys to put up a final defense of Berlin.
It will end the same way.
Per folks over at patriots.win, Psaki is saying that there will be religious and medical exemptions.
That didn’t take long.
Labor Department will be instituting on biz with more than 100 employees...

Reporter: “Can the Department of Labor or anybody else compel major employers, large employers, to force the vaccine mandates on their employees?”
Jen Psaki: “Yes. Stay tuned. More to come this afternoon.” https://cbsn.ws/3nhsMyo

That wouldn't surprise me. Just this morning I started thinking "the Deep State is taking the gloves off."
Not enough of them.
At one time in my career I managed staffing for call centers that were taking more than 100,000 calls per day. We staffed to meet some basic service levels.
If we lost 10% of our staff, our system would be immediately overloaded, delay times would move from a couple of minutes to hours, and our ability to maintain staff would be compromised. Getting replacements for those people would take months.
Think about everything the government touches through direct hires or through contractors. If they lose 10% of their staff, the efficiency of those offices, companies, and manufacturing will shut down lines, increase unemployment, and send the country into a significant recession.
Remember that every dollar the government spends is multiplied in the economy.
Biden thinks this is going to make him look tough. It could potentially lead to an economic disaster.
We shoulda asked him how that turned out before he died unexpectedly...
You can almost hear them licking their chops as they command the kill shot to be administered to the American people...
If you work at a facility that accepts Medicare payments there is a whole list of vaccines and periodic medical tests (MMR, Hep C, for example) that you have to certify.
This has been the case for ages.
Medical personnel (especially women) will be heading for the exits...chaos will reign everywhere!
USPS has already been exempted from the vaxx.
My wife’s hospital has their deadline next week. The last best guess she heard was that they were about 80%.
Sure, that’s most people. But losing a huge percent like that will reduce the available beds.
And, it isn’t really being discussed at the Department Head level yet. I was chuckling at her the other day—suggesting that she might want to brush up on “Nursing for Dummies” because they would toss non clinical folks on the floor.
I know that.
And I have no prob with any of those, just the ones for CoupFlu.
Especially since, thanks to the PREP Act, people harmed literally have no course for redress.
I’m sure your experience has merit. I don’t think private sector call centers and the nature of their immediate accountability to the market compares to government sector union jobs. I’m bet the state department is worse than the DMV as an example.
“ Remember that every dollar the government spends is multiplied in the economy.”
If I’m not mistaken, isn’t that the Keynesian obama ‘stimulus’ myth we hear from pelosi et al.
