When the pace of vaccinations in the U.S. first began to slow, President Joe Biden backed incentives like million-dollar cash lotteries if that’s what it took to get shots in arms. But as new coronavirus infections soar, he’s testing a tougher approach.
(snip)
Still, while more severe measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed, the administration worried that they would be too polarizing for the moment.
That’s not to say they won’t be implemented in the future, as public opinion continues to shift toward requiring vaccinations as a means to restore normalcy.

That shouldn’t be too difficult for Biden and Co. The country lost it’s spine and testosterone quite some time ago. Press forward, comrades. You have nothing to fear by pushing the people, no matter what the keyboard warriors will say.
Yes, this isn’t about public health. It’s about control.
There’s no normalcy available due to the vax. It’s a lie and they are still repeating it ℅ of Rat Media like the AP.
Any fool knows this looking at Israel and Iceland while Sweden continues to prosper without any of this crap.
They couldn’t have transformed the country into an English-speaking model of the Soviet Union. Too obvious. They used the covid “crisis” as the backdrop, and went ahead and did it anyway.
There is no freedom of thought or expression. The government decides who lives or dies. You work and your money is taken from you. Private property is an illusion. Speaking against the party line and you are fired and silenced. One segment of the population is singled out as the source of all evils, and is demonized and slated for extinction. The Leader is glorified and protected at all costs.
Its all a propaganda piece- nothing will come of it.
1- Biden threatened to lock down Florida and Texas in January/February/March and Desantis challenged him to do so. Biden backed down.
2- When President Trump tried to deny funding for states that had cities which defunded the police the courts said “you can’t do that.” The precedent has been set.
That is how evil this is getting.
Even crazier, the proposal of limiting insterstate travel while illegals with unknown vaccination status are being flown to undisclosed areas of the country. It's criminal.
Well maybe the truckers can have a say, like shutting it down. Everything.
This article is so twisted in its logic it is difficult to believe it was even published. For one it says the vaccines are increasingly accepted by the public. So why do they have to increase pressure on the unvaccinated? And why did the article say 45% of people feel employers should not compel vaccination? That’s almost half of all people.
Second, we hear about booster shots because the delta variant is responsible for the new breakthrough cases. The article states everyone must get the vaccine because of the delta variant. Where is the logic in that?
Then the article went on to say the Biden administration briefed trade groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable. Shouldn’t physicians and epidemiologists be the ones being briefed? Don’t they know a bit more about biology and medicine than do people with business degrees?
And then the bit on having papers for interstate travel. Do they not even realize what they are proposing?
Our “betters” seem to possess virtually no self awareness. Oh, the article forgot to add that Trump and his supporters are little Nazis.
‘What ever happened to the Hippocratic oath? ‘
it flew the coop when the medicos discovered how much they enjoyed the facetime on national tv...
I see Dr Evil still recovering from her latest facelift .
Not that constitutionality matters anymore, but the logistics of border checks between sites seems a little tricky; not to mention the bad optics of it. Then there is the rather glaring contradiction of busing in Covid positive illegals into the country.
Public opinion shifting to require vaccines? Really?
Talk about controlling the narrative.
I thought people are shifting to question the vaccine as being worthless and dangerous. Isn’t that why people don’t want it?
Just say NO!
The only thing that joek is testing is the capacity of his adult diaper.
The Joelitburo is testing a tougher approach.
After decades and decades of trying, the left has found the trigger issue that is accepted widely enough to negate all natural rights protected by our Constitution.
I don’t see growing support for the vax. If it as so popular why are they bribing, forcing, coercing people to get it?
You can sick your rules up your a** !
DONT TREAD ON ME !!
