Biden to Announce Even More COVID-19 Measures This Week: Surgeon General

President Joe Biden will announce more COVID-19 measures before the U.N. General Assembly meets this week, according to U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

Speaking to CNN on Sept. 12, Murthy didn’t say what new measures would be announced by Biden.

The president issued several executive orders on Sept. 9 mandating that federal contractors, federal workers, and most health care staff in the United States get the COVID-19 vaccine. A White House plan also stated that he would direct the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, to mandate that employers with 100 or more workers either get the vaccine, require weekly COVID-19 testing, or receive a fine.

Biden’s announcement on the mandate, which will affect an estimated 80 million private-sector employees, drew significant criticism from Republican governors and some business leaders. It’s likely that numerous lawsuits will be filed against the order.

But during the CNN interview, Murthy defended the president’s announcement and mandate.

“There will be more actions that we continue to work on, especially in the global front,” he said.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy defends not requiring vaccinations for air travel - two days ahead of Biden announcing even more steps to combat COVID

    President Joe Biden, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said, will announce early this week even more steps towards stopping the spread of COVID-19
    '[Biden] will be making announcements ahead of the U.N. General Assembly about additional measures that we're taking to help vaccinate the world'
    The new announcements will come after Biden received backlash for mandating vaccines for most U.S. workers after vowing not to do so earlier in the pandemic
    Murthy also defended the administration's decision to not yet implement vaccination requirements for air travel in the U.S.
    'When it comes to mandating vaccines for travel, there are important issues around equity that would have to be worked out,' he said
    Added: 'For example, if they had to travel in the case of emergency to see a relative who got sick, would be able to do that, even if they weren't vaccinated'

I'm certain that they'll come up with mandates for all of us one way or another and IMO the only thing that it will do is cause people to die from getting the vaccine and weakened immune systems!
