Joe Biden has come under scrutiny after he walked back his coronavirus vaccination promise. On Thursday, Biden said businesses with more than 100 employees must require staff to be vaccinated.
The mandate has the potential to affect at least 100 million Americans. Critics quickly pointed out Biden’s sweeping mandate stands in stunning contrast to his promises from less than a year ago. This includes last December when he said this type of order is not necessary.
“Just like I don’t think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide,” Biden was quoted saying in addition to saying he wouldn’t demand COVID vaccinations be mandatory back in 2020.
The Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require that all employers with 100 or more employees ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week. pic.twitter.com/Yn2kDf63FU

However, now Biden has warned he’s lost patience with the 80 million Americans who have yet to get the vaccine.
