With the COVID pandemic raging, everyone is trying to stay safe. But are mandatory vaccines a viable option? More importantly, are they even legal?
Background
Earlier in September, President Biden suggested the idea of mandatory vaccine requirements. The rules stated that businesses with over 100 employees would have to be either vaccinated or have weekly COVID tests. Obviously, that seems to be a logistical disaster for any small business.
With economic recovery just starting up, it seems ludicrous to threaten it all with policies designed to punish businesses.
Biden seems to be acting against the constitution. The Frontiersman writes “the obvious limits on federal power have not been a barrier to Biden’s bullying tactics before; he already tried to impose an eviction moratorium on private property owners because of the COVID pandemic, ” indicating Biden’s overreach and his illegal mandates.
The mandate is symbolic of Biden’s obliqueness towards the economic recovery following such a pandemic.
While nobody is downplaying the massive impacts of COVID and the millions of worldwide deaths, constraining businesses is not the solution to such an issue. Instead, Biden should give more deference to businesses like how Texas has done.
Conclusion
With Biden pursuing this approach to reduce numbers, it only adds to an irrational, anti-business picture of his administration. From pulling out of Afghanistan to mandating vaccines against people’s will, Biden seems to be making all the wrong moves.
With the midterm elections looming, it is only a matter of time before Republicans seize on the opportunity to control the House and Senate and put an end to Biden’s run of failures.
