Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery.

The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated.

Biden is also signing an executive order to require vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test out. That covers several million more workers.

"The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly,"

Remember Gates and Soros buying a testing company?
Biden has no authority to do this.

I have to hand it to them. I’ve been wondering how they would avoid targeting their core base with this, which has the highest vaccine hesitancy as a percentage of population of any group.

They are using OSHA.

“The requirement for large companies to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for employees will be enacted through a forthcoming rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ...”

So they’re only actually targeting employers, not people. And only indirectly targeting individuals who have jobs, not their core.

Obvious in hind sight, but still competent politicking. If only the Reps had a tenth of this guile, we would be in a much better place.

If everybody would use Ivermectin or HCQ we wouldn’t need vaccines, mandates, masks, lockdown, etc, and this CCP virus would disappear in a month.

Which is exactly why it's forbidden.

The left would then have to come up with some other tool to impose their tyranny on us.

This one is far to easy because colds are so easy to catch and pass around, and by causing/inflating the death rate, they can put the general populace in such a state of fear, they will do anything to avoid it.

The medical community has used fear to coerce people into taking medicines and treatments they don't want for years. I can't tell you how many doctors have used the *If you don't take/do this, you could catch this (or have this happen to you) and DIE!"

As if by listening to them I'm going to somehow magically live forever.

At the very least, I want it in writing from a high up in my chain-of-command in the Federal Government that I will be terminated before I decide on anything going forward at this point. IOW, I’ll believe it when I see it and for now will wait, stay calm and do nothing.

I’m gonna be fairly circumspect in what I say here but its time to make those who support this damned uncomfortable.

Wouldn’t suggest damaging people’s property over political differences-—until they seriously impact your ability to provide for yourself and family, at which point act alone, don’t talk about things, watch for cameras, and well, make life hell for those who support this stuff

"Dan Bongino has been talking about a parallel economy, to insulate ourselves from leftist tyranny. It's starting with censor-free social media platforms and a few payment processing services and online merchants,

In any case I wonder what it would take to being other resources on line, such as banks, credit card companies and the like."

Perhaps the biggest roadblock to such a plan, are the Tier 1 providers, most of which are leftists wokesters and non of which would be considered conservative.

They can (& did back in Jan) shut down any kind of electronic traffic they want.

Good luck getting the fed's to allow a conservative Tier 1 provider.

Why do you think the fencing is going back up in DC. Sure, the September 18 rally is the excuse, but I’m thinking its related to Biden’s speech today.

So they’re only actually targeting employers, not people. And only indirectly targeting individuals who have jobs, not their core.

So their core, the welfare recipients, who are paid with taxpayer's dollars, are not required to be vaccinated or take a weekly test. Only those who are employed and work for a living and pay those taxes are.

Yah. Got it.

I am convince the vaccines actually are infecting those that haven’t been vaccinated yet and are making those who are taking them sick!

My next door neighbor was in his 80’s and had was in good health, a former col and an active hunter, took the 1st vaccine shot and came down with serious covid and was in hospital...got some better then had second dose but started having heart problems and constant diarrhea in the meantime he has felt terrible with no energy anymore. Now he has tested positive the second time for covid - they sent him home ?????????????????????????????????????????

Sounds terrible - but what worries me being next door a decade younger - I’ve never had it yet - they (govt and big pharma - are trying to infect me with those folks getting the shoots! I take the recommended FLCCC protocol: all the Vits and Ivermectin and Qcercutin and etc but ya never know (knocking on wood and hoping to remain lucky!
