WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - Federal workers and onsite contractors will have to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or wear masks, practice social distancing and submit to regular testing under sweeping new guidelines the White House announced on Thursday.

The measures are U.S. President Joe Biden's latest effort to spur some reluctant Americans to get vaccinated as the Delta variant of the coronavirus ravages the unvaccinated in particular.

Government employees who do not show they have been vaccinated will be subject to weekly or twice-weekly COVID-19 tests and restrictions on official travel.

"The administration will encourage employers across the private sector to follow this strong model," the White House said in a statement ahead of expected remarks by Biden.

Biden will press school districts to hold at least one "pop-up vaccination clinic" in the coming weeks to get children aged 12 and older vaccinated.

I don’t care if they offer testing for free, I’m not complying. This is the hill to die on. It’s time to go Galt.

I would guess that most government parasites voted for Byeduhn. They deserve everything they get.

They don’t actually care.

Misleading headline


Joe Xiden isn't setting anything.

He is nothing more than a hologram. His handlers are doing the setting.

“most government parasites voted for Byeduhn”

Not sure I agree with that my friend.

I worked at a DoD facility for 30 years among many retired and military veterans (the usual workforce was around 4000 people).

I can assure you not many of those patriots are biden or were obama fans.

Fed gov employees get a bad rap here and some of it is warranted but I consider a lot of the people I worked with American heroes given many of them left parts of their bodies (and minds) in foreign lands around the world.

Just my 2 cent

Fed gov employees who actually earn their paycheck are not parasites. That might be up to 30% of them. But someone who has worked in that role might have a better estimate. I could be high.

How do you think things will change in a couple more weeks when the vast majority of those infected have been fully vaccinated??

we have followed the UK and Israel by 4-6 weeks since this scam started

This is a “let’s punish everyone to pressure the noncompliant” tactic, pure and simple.

Biden is failing and he knows it, so now it’s going to be more lockdowns, coercion, violations of privacy AND personal liberties, bribery, hectoring, vaccine passports, checkpoints, police state tactics, persecution, and above all, lying.

Case in point is the bugaboo of the Delta variant. The CDC claim is that it can be equally spread by the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, yet they have not published any peer-reviewed research to show that.

Funny that.

I’ve read a dozen “perfectly rational explanations” for that, put forth by his drooling sycophants, but that is some seriously weird sh^t, right there.

If a person with a Y chromosome can identify as a woman, I can self-identify as a fully vaccinated COVID survivor.
