Biden Gave an Update to the Nation About the Private Sector Vaccine Mandate
[Townhall] President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect hacked up by the World's Greatest Deliberative Body. The guy who single-handedly lost Afghanistan......
 on Thursday addressed the "unacceptably high number" of unvaccinated people in America and said his mandate for the private sector will go into effect "soon."

While "daily cases are down 47 percent" nationally, and "hospitalizations are down 38 percent over the past six weeks," Biden said there are still 66 million unvaccinated Americans. This is down from 100 million in July.

Insisting that his vaccine mandates are working, Biden said the Department of Labor will "soon be issuing an emergency rule" for private sector companies with 100 or more employees.
So there still is no mandate, just the promise threat of one sometime in the nebulous future? And all those companies have been getting rid of much-needed staff in anticipation of something that might never happen? Oh, to be a lawyer looking at any of these class action suits!

#1 So we are at 80% vaccination rate now? And up to half the unvaccinated may be people who were infected and recovered? What is the threshold for herd immunity now? I haven't kept up with all the goalpost moves.

#2 Glenmore, the restrictions MIGHT be lifted when:
1. 100% vaccination rate - NO exceptions.
1a. 100% booster shots administered
2. Zero COVID related deaths
3. Zero COVID related hospitalizations (including people who are admitted with other conditions who happen to have COVID)
4. Zero COVID cases

Until then, the lock downs, mask mandates, social distancing and other things will continue (except for the elite, of course). Governors and health commissioners are having way too much fun playing dictator.

#3 Of course there is no mandate now - if there were then there would be something for people to file suit about.

Given the actions of various airlines and other large corporations, I'm starting to wonder if there wasn't some back-channel communication from the Biden Admin to the CEOS. Could be the CEOs are just piling on the woke nonsense, but it is curious they all seem to be reading from the same playbook as far as alleged 'mandates' are concerned.

Here I thought I was the conspiracy guy.

However it would be kinda fun to correlate CV deaths/disablements work profiles with the supply chain staffing issues AND the legal/illegal immigrant (Afgan, Haitian, Mexican, et. al.) replacement workforce.

#7 In SC we just ignore the COVID rules noise. Go ahead and send in the troops. We'll kick their ass just like the Taliban did.

#10 /\ I took the liberty of littering nearly 50 in boxes with that piece of profound Gov't VAX logic.
