Ahead of President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday about new COVID-19 measures, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that there may be new measures that will be imposed on unvaccinated people.
“There are six steps the president’s announcing, there will be new components,” Psaki told reporters on Wednesday. “Some of that will be related to access to testing, some will be related to mandates, some will be related to how we ensure kids will be protected in schools.”
When asked about how the new steps would impact Americans’ lives, Psaki said that “it depends on if you’re vaccinated or not.”
Psaki provided few details on what mandates could be imposed on unvaccinated Americans. On Tuesday, she told reporters on Air Force One that the federal government lacks the authority to mandate vaccines for everyone. “There will be new components that sure, will of course impact people across the country, but we’re also all working together to get the virus under control, to return to our normal lives,” Psaki also said, without elaborating, on Wednesday.
Biden, who was scheduled to meet with his COVID-19 advisers on Wednesday, delivered a speech about six months ago saying the United States has “made real progress” against the virus.
Since that date, about 142 million Americans have received COVID-19 vaccines and about 950,000 people are getting vaccinated each day, according to data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Data released daily by the CDC’s COVID-19 tracker suggests that the United States’ new cases and deaths may have hit a plateau or is on the decline. The seven day-average for cases as of Tuesday was 140,000 and deaths were 1,022, respectively, while as of Sept. 1, the seven-day average for cases was 156,000 and deaths were 1,141, respectively.
The president’s speech on Thursday could make reference to a recent announcement from the heads of several federal health agencies that third doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, or booster shots, would be provided around Sept. 20. However, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve the booster doses. Already, Biden required all federal employees and contractors to get the COVID-19 vaccine or adhere to strict testing and social distancing protocols. He also ordered nursing homes to require their staff to get the vaccine to continue getting Medicare and Medicaid funding.
One of Biden’s top confidants, White House chief of staff Ron Klain, during a CNN interview over the weekend, was reluctant to provide a specific date when the boosters would be made available to the public.
Cannot go into Federal Buildings? Guess I cannot serve of Federal juries anymore.
we can fight back.
is there enough of us willing to take up arms?
if the claim is true that 75% have been jabbed, of the 25% remaining how many are able, or willing to “fight” back?
it’s a numbers game, while biden clearly doesn’t know whats going on others in the swamp have likely run the numbers and know they are on the winning side.
Sliding into totalitarianism?

Slid into totalitarianism as a result of 11/4/20.
Dividing people again. How completely Dim.
How can they force schools to do anything? I “thought” that was a state issue. But then again, they appear to be able to do whatever they want.
we can fight back.

can, but won’t. armchair generals and lounging patriots will send strongly worded comments all over the internet.
This may lead to a massive sovereign citizen movement.
In the real world most of the unvaxxed will create fake certificates and use them when they can do so without major consequence.
The black market for just about anything and everything will get a lot bigger, which will be a major source of employment for the unvaxxed.
We will just be like the old Soviet Union—it looks like everybody is obeying the rules but that is just on the surface.
You give them too much credit for brains. These people are Marxist ideologues and, as such, are reactionaries. Deep thought is not their strong suit.
No vaccine would have been effective for the highly infectious Delta variant we are seeing coming over out Southern Border.
It's just a matter of time. Best to focus on therapeutic options than “immunity” via the vaccines
Steady, steady - don't let them make you react before it's time. Hold steady.
bit much
Some will do exactly that, yes.
but they keep beating republicans.. so..
are they really that smart, or are republicans really that stupid?
(we may never know)
Bribery of petty bureaucrats will become like the third world.
You can do anything but you will have to fork over a little extra cash...
This is not about health.
This is about control of the population.
Once you figure that out, then everything starts to make sense.
Right after they increase the premium for deviants who spread all sorts of other diseases.
Actually, they don’t keep beating Republicans. Take a deep dive into the last election. Even with the cheating, the left did not do well at all. And what ill-gotten gains they did make (aside from th WH, of curse), they’ll lose in ‘22... and then some.
This is not about health.
This is about control of the population.
Once you figure that out, then everything starts to make sense.
True, but the puzzling part is why the Left feels that a vaccination shot is so vital to control. There has to be more to the story.
