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.

Lawsuits are really helping us so far. Why does anybody believe kangaroo courts will save us? They are part of the reason we are in this mess.

And the sleazy lawyers will get even richer.

It is getting closer and closer to that date the “Tree of Liberty” will be refreshed.

I am old and in terrible shape but my trigger finger works just fine.

I appreciate your use of the “we”.

How does the fighting part work, what do we do?

Looks like my wife might be out of a job then. She works at a nursing home and not a fancy one so I imagine they take medicare.

Anyone know if these “sweeping new vaccine mandates” will nix vaccine exemptions for healthcare workers?

I suspect they will...

If so, time for a career change. It was a good run.

There goes my job and those of many others. I can’t really wrap my head around this.

Your being sarcastic, right?

Gonna be more 99 people companies, and more sub contractors.

If you're the most recent hire, and you're employee #100...it doesn't look good for you! Better start updating that resume.

You have to hand it to the leftists. They get you coming and going. Mandate obamacare for full time employees. Solution, many companies use more part-time employees. Now those companies with bigger staffs are going to get it, ah, "in the end."

Read and re-read that.

Slight smile on my face initially.

Then a huge grin.

Followed by a chuckle.

And ending up Rolling on the Floor and Laughing my Ass Off.

Before the end of the week Biden’s poll numbers will be below 25%.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The DemonRats don’t care .... Biden is expendable at this point. He’s politically the same as a suicide bomber for the Taliban .... blow up the country, even if it means self-immolating. The rest of the DemonRats will pick up where his smoking pile left off.

Some of this is smoke and mirrors. The religious and medical exemptions remain in place. Also the Federal employee “Attestation” remains.
Federal employees only have to sign a form “attesting” they have received the jab. The employers do not require proof.
This, I believe, is to get around union objections. Basically anyone can say they are vaxxed.

The trick, is to call that bluff.

When the Constitution functioned, we could count on the system of checks and balances to function.

Guess what? There are no checks, no balances. Our system hasn't worked for decades now.

There are more than a few African Americans working for the federal government. Being that they are the least vaccinated group, this should go over well.

Even if the courts decide (eventually) that Biden does not have authority for this mandate, companies on the government dole will comply so they can be “team players.”
