I mean, what about it wouldn't a certain segment of the population say or believe?

LA Unified School District voting on a vax mandate for eligible students.

Biden is going to announce that federal workers must get vaxed.

Odd they're extending it to 12-15 year olds.

And what does it really mean to be vaccinated against a virus that mutates every year, if that's what ends up happening? Does it mean people have to get it renewed and updated each year?

I assume it's temporary, since sperm reproduce so quickly, so once you quit taking it, you're normal in ~ 3 months.

Patton Oswald cancels shows because the venues won't have attendees prove vax status or negative covid test.

Good for him, seriously. Take a stand on something you believe in. However, I do wonder if he made the same request of other venues and whether or not they complied. Because if he/they didn't, then this becomes just a political stunt for attention/PR.

Weird that the "journalist" didn't ask that question...

Vaccine mandate?
President Joe Biden will announce on Thursday that federal government employees and contractors will now be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will create a rule for private businesses with 100 or more employees to require their employees to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing, according to senior administration officials.

Biden will lay out his new six-part strategy to combat the delta variant in remarks at 5 p.m. ET.

A senior administration official estimated that this new OSHA requirement will cover about 80 million workers and businesses that do not comply with the agency's rule can face substantial fees -- up to $14,000. OSHA will require these employers to offer paid time off for vaccination.

As part of his effort to vaccinate the federal executive branch, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Indian Health Service and the National Institutes of Health will complete implementation of their previously announced vaccination requirements that cover 2.5 million people, a source familiar with the plans said.

This is an escalation of the president's action in July calling for federal workers to attest to their vaccination status and submit to mitigation efforts if they are not vaccinated, such as mask usage and regular testing.

The president is also expected to announce that the Transportation Security Administration and interstate travel mask mandate will be extended through Jan. 18, the fine for noncompliance will double and health care facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement must require their employees to be vaccinated. This will cover about 17 million health care workers across the country.

"In total, the new vaccination requirements in the president's plan cover about 100 million workers, that's two thirds of all workers in the United States," a senior administration official said on a briefing call with reporters Thursday afternoon.

Yeah, I'm betting the lawsuits against this are going to prove that "kinda" to be wrong.

I'd really love for SCOTUS to go after executive orders.

The executive branch is in charge of OSHA, OSHA has power via Congress. If OSHA mandates it, it's because that authority was granted by Congress.

This is making news in my local community FB page where most people are very much Trumplicans.

The vast majority of folks hammering this drum are not teens. They also conveniently ignore what a small percentage of people this affects, and how much of a smaller percentage of that percentage actually have a negative outcome.
