President Joe Biden announced a vaccine mandate on Sept. 9, causing experts to debate the potential economic impact of the rule.
Biden directed the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to create a rule requiring businesses with 100 or more employees to require that employees get vaccinated or undergo weekly testing.
The new mandate would affect roughly 100 million Americans, specifically private employees, health care workers and federal contractors who have yet to receive a vaccine, the Daily Caller reported.
“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Biden said when introducing the mandate, the Daily Caller reported. “We’ll reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that’s vaccinated in business all across America.”
The mandate announcement came as the nation grappled with a 5.2% unemployment rate and roughly 10.9 million available jobs, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some experts believe that the new rule will hurt the jobs market, delivering a blow to the economy, while others suggest that controlling the virus, especially the delta variant, is the key to economic recovery.
“We are already in an unprecedented labor market right now, and this mandate on private employers adds insult to injury because companies are already facing severe labor shortages,” Rachel Greszler, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Individuals working at companies with 100 or more employees may simply switch to a smaller company to dodge the mandate, Greszler explained. “We certainly know that there are many jobs out there for people who have quit their jobs,” she added.
Employers will also be impacted, as they will need to fire workers who refuse the vaccine or risk a large fine and possibly a lawsuit, Greszler explained…

And, like the first economic crisis, created entirely by your government and not the virus.
They’re here to protect you!
Next up. Blaming the recession on the unvaccinated.
“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Biden said
Hey, Biden: How are you going to protect vaccinated workers from other vaccinated workers who come down with the virus, you ignorant chicken$hit?
How are you going to prevent vaccinated workers from coming down with the virus?
Apparently OSHA never got the memo...
They haven’t even started the process of creating new rules, and likely never will. Just the “word” from Biden is all it takes to get the crowd moving.
Why get slammed in court over an unConstitutional government action when your allies in business can do the purges for you eagerly?
Faux-free market RINOs will even defend vax-rape even here on FR, and Big Tech has their H1-B “needs” all lined up.
Biden today:
“Take the vaccine..and momma likey my underoos with batman on a swing licking on a popsicle”
Indeed. It’s a non sequitur.
“We must protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated!”
“Why? Protect them how?”
“Protect the vaccinated from being infected by the unvaccinated.”
“But wait, isn’t the official party line that being vaccinated means that you’re NOT going to be infected, or if you do get one of those ultra-ultra-rare-unicorn-like breakthrough infections, that you won’t get seriously sick?”
“Shut up, you Trump-loving hillbilly. We’re must protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated!”
Great post!!
The idiot sheep can’t figure it out. It’s beyond frustrating.
But the vax doesn’t work for the delta variant so can’t be used to control it.
Also, the mandate is for the vax OR weekly testing, and notice how everyone is going on board with the vax as if that were the only option?
They are ignoring the weekly testing aspect.
a third reason for all this crap
“We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,” Biden said
Isn’t the vaccine supposed to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated?
only the vaccinated are allowed to infect the vaccinated
IIRC there’s no weekly testing option for the federal workers and federal contractors & subcontractors.
Only for the private companies with 200 or more workers.
They want everyone vaxxed for some reason. And I can think of no good reason the government would want that because I know it’s not about our health.
Correction:
200 s/b 100.
"We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers,"In other words, the vaccine doesn't provide enough protection
