President Biden has a dilemma. He was elected on a promise to “shut down the virus,” but eight months into his presidency, COVID-19 is still raging. With his approval ratings cratering, he is desperate to garner headlines for taking bold action. And so, just weeks after his deserved rebuke by the Supreme Court over his eviction moratorium, he has once again gone too far.
On Thursday, Biden announced a series of unilateral actions aimed at increasing the percentage of Americans who are vaccinated. We obviously do not dispute the idea that it would be a good thing if more people were vaccinated, as the shots have proven to be safe and highly effective at nearly eliminating the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. But the issue here is not what outcomes we may prefer, but what authority Biden has as president.
As chief executive, it is one thing for Biden to require vaccination for federal workers, or even for private companies that are hired as federal contractors. But Biden’s proposal goes way beyond that by ordering all private businesses with over 100 employees to require vaccination or weekly negative tests for all their workers, under the threat of steep fines. He says the order will affect 80 million private employees.
Currently, vaccination mandates that do exist (such as the MMR shot) are requirements imposed by states or individual school districts. There is not anything akin to a sweeping vaccine mandate for private workers at the federal level. This rule imposes a significant compliance burden on employers to not only police who is vaccinated, but also to facilitate weekly testing of workers.

Delusional power hungry babbling idiot.
Make no mistake obama is in the middle of all this.....the Afghanistan debacle also.
No. Covid is Not raging.
It’s also a first step in nationalizing businesses and the economy.
China is his model, remember.
Stolen elections have consequences.
“ President Biden has a dilemma”
President Retard has dementia.
Fixed it.
F U B O!
F U JOE!
Accurate title
You would think NR would be happy as a clam regarding anything Biden does. He isn’t Trump.
Maybe elected to dogcatcher but not POTUS. Student covid cases here have doubled from 30k to 60k since the previous all time high in January after the holidays spread.
If he doesnt die of a massive stroke, they will do to him like what happened with JFK.
That way, they can go completely Nazi with gun control.
His directive yesterday is unconstitutional. Simple as that and it will be challenged and likely never implemented.
On Squawk today, Dr. Gottleib said that the earliest OSHA could get this rule written, deployed and implemented would be Fall of 2022 conservatively. So he said, it will do nothing to stem Delta or provide children any protection this school year.
This was for show because of Biden’s cratering poll numbers. It’s a massive overreach that is so blatantly unconstitutional that only the dumbest among us can’t see it.
And even Gottlieb said, this takes something that was tangentially political and makes it completely political.
quaint article, sort of talking about the world as it used to be
It isn’t BiteMe’s.
The POTATUS is just a stooge.
And the NR knows it.
But won’t say it for some reason.
Wonder why...
Dr Mengele killed his tens of thousands.
Dr Fauci killed his tens of millions.
in a sane world, that little chimp would be used for his own experiments.
Overreach is a understatement.
Dictatorial is a better word.
This should be determined at the state level as it historically has.
