Joe Biden Endorses Widespread Coronavirus Vaccine Mandates: ‘It’s Time to Impose Requirements’Charlie Spiering 29 Jul 2021
President Joe Biden endorsed coronavirus vaccine mandates on Thursday, using some of his strongest rhetoric to date to encourage private companies to require employees to get the vaccine.
“In addition to providing incentives to encourage vaccination, it’s time to impose requirements on key groups to make sure they’re vaccinated,” Biden said at an event at the White House, endorsing the idea of private businesses everywhere requiring their employees to get vaccinated.
“I’d like to see them continue to move in that direction,” he said, about private businesses.
He said he asked the Justice Department to issue an opinion on the legality of coronavirus vaccine mandates.
“Local communities can do that, local businesses can do that, it’s still a question whether the federal government can mandate the whole country. I don’t know that yet,” he said.
Biden said he would continue to call for more vaccine mandates.
“I’m going to keep at it,” Biden told reporters. “I’m going to be talking about it around the country.”
He defended his efforts at supporting vaccine mandates, despite shying away from tougher rhetoric on the issue in the past.
