On Thursday, President Biden mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for two-thirds of workers. If workers are not willing to get vaccinated, they will need to follow-up with weekly testing for the infection. Healthcare workers and most federal workers will be disciplined if they refuse the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president expressed his feelings toward the nearly 80 million Americans who are eligible for the vaccine but refuse to get it. \u201cWe\u2019ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.\u201d Said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden has promised to \u201cprotect vaccinated workers from the unvaccinated\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many companies in the country were hesitant about mandates before the Pfizer vaccine was approved by the FDA, but now that it is approved many of them are beginning the process of mandating vaccines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Biden also expressed his thoughts toward governors who are refusing mandates by saying, \u201cIf those governors won\u2019t help us beat the pandemic, I\u2019ll use my power as president to get them out of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My comment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe that what the president is doing is right. There are millions of people who have contracted the disease and were hospitalized, and thousands of people have lost their lives. In January, the death rate peaked, and I am worried that it will only repeat itself if people are not vaccinated. There are too many lives at stake. I understand the people who will not get vaccinated for religious beliefs, but I do not believe or understand the people who simply refuse for other reasons, such as the government trying to track or control us. There is a way to prevent COVID-19, and it may not be easy to get 80 million people to change their minds, but I hope they will soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
