Or submit proof of a negative covid test weekly (at their own expense) to maintain their jobs.

I would have preferred to eliminate the weekly testing option but I'll settle for this.

Announcement coming from the White House tomorrow.

BRAVO!

Good for Biden. That makes so much sense.

No, but if I was I'd welcome this requirement. If you're a patriot you get vaccinated. If you're a selfish, ignorant conspiracy theorist, you don't.

And now you lose your job.

And if I had my way, you'd lose your access to any and all medical services and insurance. AFAIC, let these idiots all die in the streets.

Good! I hope we take that action here too! I really thought smart would win and the majority would get vaccinated but it is clear now that the only way to get the levels up is to make life difficult if you don't.

I also hope schools will mandate the vaccine as soon as the appropriate approvals are in place. I believe most universities already have.
 
This could be interesting. Either there is a right to privacy in medical matters, or there isn't.

If the administration goes through with this, they could wind up overturning Roe v Wade.

This is not a personal matter. It’s about workplace safety. You might as well be advocating for the freedom to drive drunk.

I am a retired federal employee. I support the decision. I know quite a few current federal employees who support the decision.


Even when good safety protocols are used on wildfires, covid has found its way into some of the crews and camps. The results are less resources available for new and existing wildfires.

Do you object to Biden's policy regarding federal employees? If so, why?

That (bolded above) allows Biden (and Psaki) to assure us that he did not violate his previous promise not to support (impose?) vaccine mandates.



 
I suspect one of the reasons Biden is going this is to pave a path for private companies that might wish to have a similar policy.

LMAO... Using your theory EVERY school in the United States would be violating the rights to "private medical matters"...

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)

Jacobson v. Massachusetts: A state may enact a compulsory vaccination law, since the legislature has the discretion to decide whether vaccination is the best way to prevent smallpox and protect public health. The legislature may exempt children from the law without violating the equal protection...

This is not a private medical matter. It’s a matter of workplace safety.
