In an unprecedented move, Joe Biden announced his intention to force private employees to receive the coronavirus vaccine via a shot in the arm.
The “new federal vaccine requirement” impacts as many as 100 million Americans. It impacts private-sector employees, health care workers, and federal contractors.
Biden also insulted the American people by saying they’re stupid if they choose not to receive the vaccine.
“You’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were,” Biden said to those who were unvaccinated in July of 2021.
More Americans disapprove of Biden (49 percent) than at any other point in his presidency, according to a YouGov survey. The survey was conducted between Sept. 4th through the 7th.
There has been widespread speculation about whether this action is legal. There will undoubtedly be many legal challenges in court against the Biden administration, critics say.
In issuing this order, Biden stated, “We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.”
After months of availability and incentives to receive the vaccine, Biden is furious with Americans who opt not to receive the vaccine.
It appears that tens of millions of Americans still prefer to consult their physician and make their own personal choices regarding what to do with their bodies.
“This is not about freedom or personal choice,” Biden said. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans.
Now we have learned that the Republican National Committee plans to sue President Joe Biden over his COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said, “Joe Biden told Americans when he was elected that he would not impose vaccine mandates. He lied.”
McDaniel continued, “Now small businesses, workers, and families across the country will pay the price.”
“Like many Americans, I am pro-vaccine and anti-mandate,” she continued. “Many small businesses and workers do not have the money or legal resources to fight Biden’s unconstitutional actions and authoritarian decrees, but when his decree goes into effect, the RNC will sue the administration to protect Americans and their liberties.”
McDaniel said Biden’s mandate is “unconstitutional.”

Republicans quickly attacked Biden for infringing upon people’s rights.
“Things that are unconstitutional tend not to hold up in court,” tweeted Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., a member of the House Judiciary Committee.
Several GOP governors also slammed Biden’s plans.
“I have been consistent in the freedom of businesses to require their employees to be vaccinated, and I have opposed the government from saying businesses cannot exercise that freedom,” said Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who chairs the National Governors Association.
“The same principle should protect the private sector from government overreach that requires them to vaccinate all employees.”
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte called Biden’s new vaccination mandate “unlawful and un-American.”
The largest Republican LGBTQ group called out the president for “bullying” Americans on vaccination and for the “blaming” of “targeted individuals” for his administration’s COVID-19 response struggles.
