The selfish idiots who chop not to get vaccinated and put their fellow beings at risk should have to face consequences.
Thr US is a responsible democracy, not a brutal anarchist dictatorship like Russia, and should set an example in vaccination.

I read the entire article, and it is about the government as the employer:
President Joe Biden will announce Thursday that millions of federal workers must show proof they’ve received a coronavirus vaccine or submit to regular testing and stringent social distancing, masking and travel restrictions.

Is this a law? An opinion? From a fortune cookie?

Trump people...if you don't like these vaccine mandates just work for an employer that doesn't require them. That's what American free choice is all about. It goes both ways. For both employer and employee. Remember the Reagan drug test mandate?

Trump people? What about Biden people? Doesn't it go for them too?

Is what the President proposing even legal? Remember, the vaccines are not approved for general use yet. They are still considered an emergency measure. The FDA has yet to grant any of them full approval. So the idea of any employer demanding that employees submit to an experimental medical procedure is quite troubling to say the least.

No, I'm a non Trump person, which means anyone from any party who is not Trump. In fact I wanted another Republican in the WH over Biden. Yes, I'd rather have a ham sandwich for president than Trump. These are Trump people....it's a special case and they think he's coming back to the WH in a few weeks.
They are trying. Normal people are looking forward to it. Trump people say the vaccine makes people sick and they get all their health news from Tucker. They are antivax and thank God we don't have have Polio now
Ah_so
I was expecting a story about the January 6 commission. Strangely absent

About time... Especially all those federally employed health professionals whomhave so far been vaccine hesitant

And this is why my parents raised me to never work for the government in any capacity. I’m glad I listened.

Then why did Trump? He just turned from a bitter old man to an even more bitter old man. He was not suited to be president since he is too thin skinned and he was focused on what people thought of him rather than his job of president. Even Nixon said that it is bad to hate people who hate you and Trump could not take it. WE know the Trump presidency failed just like his wall. But how has Trump and/or his family been helped from him being in the WH. Or a lot of his ex staff who cannot find jobs now?

So Joe Biden wants his Fed workers to get vaccinated meanwhile letting 10’s of thousands of illegal immigrants into the country.
I hope the MSM will be held responsible one day for help in constructing a censoring dictatorship.

Bingo!

President Biden wants all Americans to be safe, but the loony right leadership wants to be safe themselves but not their sheep.
Everyone in the loony right leadership have taken the vaccine but are too much of cowards to admit it.

nishikat writes: "They are trying. Normal people are looking forward to it. Trump people say the vaccine makes people sick and they get all their health news from Tucker. They are antivax and thank God we don't have have Polio now."
nishikat obviously doesn't watch "Tucker" or doesn't understand what he is saying...Tucker is no anti-vaxxer, but he does point out the ever shifting, Orwellian "down-the-memory" hole "logic" of the Bidenistas.
ulysses calls those who decline to be vaccinated "selfish idiots." I have already received the first injection, but my wife of nearly fifty years has postponed her appointment, worried about a possible reaction (she has allergies) and skeptical about the double-talk, even here in Japan. I don't argue with her...It's fascinating (and infuriating) to note how the same people who are "pro-choice" on all the politically correct issues become rigid authoritarians when it comes to the pseudo-religion that seems to have infected, as it were, all discussion of vaccinations.

Totally wrong, tucker, other than being a bigot and a misogynist, is a rabble rouser, who will do anything to stay in the limelight. He has taken the vaccine, but still casts doubts on it. It takes a special kind of double faced lying hypocrisy to come up with such bald faced lies.
I could have called them worse but the mods won't allow it. These are the people who want others to take the vaccine so they can stay safe.
nishikat
In other words anti vaxer
nishikat
I don't blame Tucker. He's just doing his job supporting the Trumps and getting paid millions to do it. Nice gig....just say stuff like Hillary's emails and pizza gate. Easy as pie for that nice 8 figure salary to lead the Jim Jones Trump people

proof? The left msm tried to make that one stick and it failed miserably.
Limelight, see his latest ratings, they’re crushing everyone.
As he should given what we are finding out each and everyday, but you’re not supposed to ask, you’re just supposed to blindly listen to Joe and Fauci and not ask any questions, we are all just supposed to listen and submit to whatever the government wants. Yeah, screw that.
The msm tried that one as well and couldn’t show zero proof of that. This is why CNN is on its last legs.
nishikat
Really? I thought it was 10 million. That's what anti vax Tucker said
Better than Trump's wall policy where the illegals just need a ladder policy. But Trump also wanted to make an alligator moat (this is no joke)
ulysses
It’s stuck to him , but the loony right cannot differentiate the refuse from the one who expels it.
The bigot ratings, sure ,ROFL!!
Hilarious that you’d blindly follow tucker who doesn’t even have the courage to admit he’s taken the vaccine.
ROFL sure, if delusions were wishes…….
nishikat
Agreed, they often have to wait for their loved ones to die before getting the message. But Tucker isn't hiring. And at the same time that's why he's getting paid millions. The guy is just doing his job being anti vax
Jimizo
Interesting, and you are glad you listened.
I never realized you had this kind of feeling towards the military, firefighters, police etc.
Revealing.
bass4funk
If it did in an way or shape or form, he wouldn’t be on TV, so they messed up again, nothing new.
proof? Nope
I really could care less whether the man has taken the jab or not, none of my business and he doesn’t have to tell people, no one does and even if he did, that wouldn’t push me in either direction. Liberals like to be part of the group and do as lemmings do, we’re not like that. That’s his own private business and more power to him, but don’t expect me to follow and millions are glad that he’s asking questions and the best thing is, the left can’t stop him from asking, now should they be allowed to.
Check their ratings. Even Michael Wolfe excoriated Stelter the other week for lying all the time and this from a man that’s no conservative.
