President Biden orders all employers with over 100 employees to mandate that all workers get COVID-19 shots or submit to weekly testing. “This is not about freedom or personal choice,” says Biden. “It’s about protecting yourself and those around you… We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.” Biden’s announcement is an about-face from his position in December, when he told reporters that he didn’t support a national vaccine mandate: “I don’t think it should be mandatory, I wouldn’t demand it be mandatory.”
