President Joe Biden on Monday received a Pfizer COVID-19 booster dose on camera to lobby support for the rollout of the third dose, while saying he’s traveling to Chicago to call on private employers to mandate vaccines.
“Boosters are important, but the most important thing we need to do is get more people vaccinated,” he said in remarks a the White House.
Biden also said that he will travel to Chicago soon to make a speech calling on private businesses to mandate vaccinations for employees.
The president added that he is “moving forward with vaccination requirements wherever I can,” but he urged businesses to establish their own vaccine mandates. “On Wednesday I’ll be traveling to Chicago to talk about why it’s so important that more businesses are instituting their own vaccine requirements,” he said, before getting the booster dose.
Several weeks ago, Biden announced that he would issue an order directing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to enforce a rule requiring workers at businesses with 100 or more employees to either submit to COVID-19 testing or get the shot. COVID-19 is the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
After Biden’s mandate announcement on Sept. 9, few details have emerged about the plan for private businesses, including how OSHA will enforce it. White House press secretary Jen Psaki, around the same time, said that businesses who don’t comply with the rule could face steep fines.
About two dozen GOP-led states have threatened lawsuits against Biden after his announcement. A lawsuit filed by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office said the mandate for private businesses would violate the 14th Amendment’s “equal protection clause” while noting that it would be unfair to impose such a mandate while illegal immigrants don’t have to get vaccinated to enter the United States.
The president also ordered federal health workers, federal contractors, and healthcare staff who work at Medicare- and Medicaid-funded hospitals to get vaccinated, with no exemptions. Last week, a group of federal workers, including a U.S. Secret Service member, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the mandate, arguing that the Constitution grants them medical and religious exemptions.
Earlier this month, an advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that individuals aged 65 and older, as well as some high-risk people, get booster doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) advisory panel issued a similar recommendation and voted down recommending people between the ages of 18 and 64 who are at risk of contracting COVID-19 via their jobs or living situation.
Hours later, however, CDC Director Rochelle Walenksy overruled the CDC panel and recommended that 18-to-64-year-olds who work in jobs with high transmission rates get the Pfizer booster.
Should boosters be rolled out for more people and in other countries, analysts have predicted that vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and others could make billions more in profits.
Morningstar analyst Karen Andersen told The Associated Press on Saturday that she expects boosters alone to bring in about $26 billion in global sales next year for Pfizer and partner BioNTech, and they may bring in around $14 billion for Moderna if all Americans are recommended to receive them.
And more White Houses should impose more cognitive tests on WH squaters!
Not that I think he should impose any more mandates, but.... why is he only going after EMPLOYED people?
Coming from a guy who has never ran ANYTHING. Never generated ANYTHING. Hasn’t a clue how businesses work. That’s where we are today.
With millions being donated to re-election campaigns. And 10% for the Big Guy.
The worst president ever and he hasn’t even completed his first year in office.
And there is no mandate of any kind for the two million illegal immigrants coming across the border - no vax, testing, coverups, etc.; instead, those infected with covid and other diseases are flown around the country, spreading the infection nationwide, while citizens like you and me are forced to wear face masks, get vaxxed and with boosters and not to dare speak science to the senile clown who wrongly occupies the White House.
The bulk of unvaccinated are not employed white right wing extremists.
I can think of a few possibilities:
Weed out workers who refuse the shot and replace them with foreigners (already happening in healthcare)
Destroy small businesses that survived the lockdowns
I’m sure there some even more nefarious ones I haven’t thought of.
How about making SNAP and Food Stamps and unemployment checks contingent on being vaccinated?
Paychecks and livelihood is at stake.
Joseph Stolen election: evil personified.
I wish more business would tell Biden to mind his own business and STFU.
Paychecks and livelihood being messed with could bring about lead poisoning to Local and State Democrats..
Correction....
Biden was told to tell businesses to impose...blah blah blah.
Question is, who is telling Biden what to say?
Because the homeless don’t listen to him?
Seriously, it’s kind of a silly question. The employers are the enforcers. FedGov (TM) has some tax control over them. Obviously, Social Security and Medicare will enforce for most of the retired.
There has to be enforcement for a “mandate”, and it’s not going to be door-to-door FBI - yet.
Start with the CDC, FDA, NIH, White House and Congress
Biden: They told me they would give me my shot in my arm instead of my buttock. They were concerned it could interfere with my thinking since my brains are down there.
That must be why I get confused after sitting a long time. Cuts off the circulation there.
Another angle seldom mentioned except for Fauci level. The doctors who get interviewed and promote the jabs and now the need for boosters are often big investors in the companies like Pfizer who will profit from their supposed wisdom. A yearly routine of another Pfizer booster will “boost” the big pharma profits and the doctors’ wealth.
Why is it a silly question?
What about all of the FREELOADER types, getting all of their free stuff from US who are working... Getting their $250/child/month cash, plus food stamps, rent assistance, free 0bamacare, free 0bamaphones, 3 free meals per day for school-age children, free school supplies, free coats, etc.
EVERYTHING is free for MANY people, who are NOT working, so why shouldn’t Biden make these people get vaccinated to continue getting their benefits?
What do you mean by: “Obviously, Social Security and Medicare will enforce for most of the retired.” How would they enforce? They do not employ the retired people, I don’t think.
your shot doesn’t work unless i get one that doesn’t work...
Forget it. They will all do the same thing Biden and Harryass are doing, saline shots instead of real vaccines. There is no way in hell Biden and Hairyass would take the real shot after they trashed it in the election run up. Biden just got his saline booster today. Thats why you still see them all wearing masks. Their staff members are still exempt.
