The White House is reportedly considering withholding federal dollars to private business as part of its latest push to get more Americans to take the coronavirus vaccine.
“If the Biden administration goes forward with the plans, it would amount to a dramatic escalation in the effort to vaccinate the roughly 90 million Americans who are eligible for shots but who have refused or have been unable to get them,” the Washington Post reported.
“The effort could apply to institutions as varied as long-term-care facilities, cruise ships and universities, potentially impacting millions of Americans, the Post continued, “according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.”
The White House issued a statement to Fox News neither confirming nor denying the Posts‘ report.
“As we always are, the administration is discussing a host of different measures we can continue to boost vaccinations across the country,” the White House said. “Any reported ideas under consideration are in early conversations and pre-decisional. There are no imminent policy decisions as to preview at this time.”
Georgetown University’s O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law Lawrence Gostin told Fox News the federal government would be right to leverage the power of the purse to push those who are exercising their freedom of choice to become vaccinated.
“I think wisely using the federal spending power is absolutely right,” said Gostin.
The Biden administration’s obsession with vaccinating Americans with a vaccine that is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved comes as the establishment media has rung the alarm that not all Americans are complying with the president’s commands.

No. If geezers die they don’t have to pay them.
The downside of accepting government support is that they can pressure you by threatening to cut it off.
Fascist.
I can’t believe the press never asked about withholding foodstamps until vaxed. It seemed like a simple question to me.
sure....didn’t the courts rule against President Trump when he tried to withhold funds for stated who were defunding the police?
states, not stated
So blackmail is not only legal now but a positive action by our betters? Ummmm.
well that’s one way to get businesses off the tit.
Wait until unvaxxed seniors on SS get letters saying their monthly payments will be withheld until vaxxed; cue the scammers as well.
Any of us collecting a pittance of what we paid into Social Security remain vulnerable to governmental coercion.
What are these 'rights' of which you speak?
They would NEVER consider withholding $$ from any rats!!
Let’s not forget freezing bank accounts, and ordering credit card companies to freeze any accounts, etc.
100%
But, I fear they wont and will get dragged down the hole along with the rest.
Don’t say they can’t do that because they can and will.
This has become an obsession and I don’t understand why except to follow the money somewhere.
I have not seen anything that makes a rational case for the jab being a positive benefit. I’m still waiting for an answer, even a bad one, to my question in this regard: “What are the clear positive benefits of the jab?” I’ll add, “that makes it a statistically superior alternative.”
A good percentage of seniors got vaccinated. They got scared. Plus free.
That would be racist.
“The White House is reportedly considering withholding federal dollars to private business”
Why is the Federal Government giving money to private businesses?
A vaccine so good and effective that the government has to threaten people to take it.
I guess the government no longer is ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people
It is now ‘you better do what we tell you. Or else!’, no wonder they hate the constitution.
