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.

It is the Dims are their “pandemic” policies that have been stifling the economy.
> And by the way, by the way, what the hlll are “federal vaccine requirements”? <
Don’t worry about it. Dr. Fauci will explain it all.
Of course his recommendations will change almost daily. But that’s just part of the fun.
I think potato just stepped into a tripwire.
The toothpaste may not go back in the tube.
I just wish that folks would recognize that these mandates won’t stop with just vaccines.
Gonna be more 99 people companies, and more sub contractors.
Imagine how the Democrats, MSM and Social Media would react if it was Donald Trump doing all of this as the POTUS?
F’em. He has no ability.
Doesn’t matter. This is tyranny.
LOL
The pro vaxx fanatices who get violently ill after the vaxxes—I don’t have the heart to tell them they f&^%ed up—too late now so what is the point.
I guess I should be grateful their stupidity gave me early warning..
Its only a mandate if you go along with it. 🙄
Six prongs:
1) Federal employee/contractor vaccine mandate
2) Private employers >100 employees vaccine mandate
3) Health care facilities vaccine mandate (Medicare funding extortion!)
4) Doubling fines for violating mask “guidance” on TSA transport and federal facilities
5) More testing for schools
6) Large entertainment venues require vaccine or negative test
“Biden was also to announce that the federal government will work to increase the supply of virus tests, and that the White House has secured concessions from retailers including Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger to sell at-home testing kits at cost beginning this week.”
The EFFECT of widespread testing will be much of the population quaranteening aka under “lockdown” without an actual “national lockdown.”
Even if you just get tested once a week...times how many people? The profit from just the tests alone boggles the mind.
Before the end of the week Biden’s poll numbers will be below 25%.
After you steal and election right in front of everybody and get away with it you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want.
Agreed. Deep state / political types no-doubt approached the pharma companies with a proposition something like this. "Look, you go along with any damn-fool thing we say. Play your part. We want the power and control, the ability to stomp on rights and freedoms, that this 'pandemic' provides. In return for not calling us on our BS, and for supporting our agenda, we'll line the fools up for bi-annual 'boosters' and you guys can make billions. Deal?"
Seems pretty obvious they took the deal. Maybe the carrot and stick routine (now transitioning to the stick phase) to coerce everyone to comply is because part of the deal was a guaranteed xxx million doses per year? So Biden's handlers have got to make those numbers!
That, and maybe it's just a compliance thing, a test of wills. "Hey, we told you to get the jab, so get it! Oh don't you tell me 'no' !!!" So like a typical bully they can't show weakness or everyone will see them for what they are.
Is Obamacare still around?
Missed me again, but he’s trying.
“Let the lawsuits begin. The US Fed Govt has no such authority”
Tend to agree with that....I think a lot of it is a bluff.
The trick, is to call that bluff.
No outrage at all. Just the dictates of the dictator from the reptiles at the Asspress. This is a death sentence for many of us and our loved ones.
