Biden Administration Will Allow Businesses and Institutions to Demand Proof of Vaccination

by Michael Curzon
15 May 2021 3:52 PM

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says that the Biden administration is not planning on imposing a vaccine mandate and will not keep track of those who have been vaccinated, but that it will allow business, colleges and universities to demand proof of vaccination. The Mail has the story.

“Private sector companies may decide that they want to have requirements. That’s up to them. We have no plans to change our approach from the Federal Government,” Psaki said…

Nearly half of Americans (46.8%) have had at least one dose of Covid vaccine, and more than 36% have been fully vaccinated.  

But nearly 20% of Americans are “vaccine hesitant” – with the highest rates among Republicans – and notions of mandates for vaccination or masks have become politically divisive in the U.S..

[Last week, it was reported that some states are requesting small fractions of their allotted Covid vaccine doses from the Federal Government to save them from having to throw misused doses away due to the waning of demand.]

So far, liberal states including New York are using vaccine passports at some events, while conservative states like Texas and Florida have banned companies for asking their employees for proof of vaccination. 

While public health officials are desperately trying to convince Americans to get vaccinated, they worry that mandates would backfire and only make more people hesitant to get the shots…

It’s up to states whether schools require shots or not, and the Federal Government does not legally require any health interventions, nor proof of them. 

Back in April, Psaki said: “The Government is not now nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential.”

She acknowledged that private companies and non-profits likely would consider asking their employees to show proof of vaccination, as is their right, but requiring Americans to get the shots was not on the table for the Federal Government. 

“Our interest is very simple from the Federal Government, which is Americans’ privacy and rights should be protected so these systems are not used against people unfairly,” Psaki said. 

A number of U.S. universities, including Brown, Cornell and Stanford, have already announced that they will require their staff and students to be vaccinated against Covid before being permitted to return to campuses later this year, though it is unclear how state executive orders banning Covid vaccine passports will affect these demands.

The Mail report is worth reading in full.

I think there’s a lot of Texans hoping new arrivals fleeing failed states don’t bring with them and spread the ideas that say ruined California.

Perhaps they need two weeks quarantine and testing to see if the are immune to the OPM (other people’s money) virus?

Sadly, refugees tend to spread the very thing that they claim to be fleeing.

You import it, you get it.

Will non-Corona (Red) states end up seceding I wonder? There seems to be an intractable rift forming and has been for years. I’m inclined to think we may see the break up of the Union….

If it could be done with minimal confrontation, that would be wonderful. It would be a relief to have somewhere to escape to!

It would certainly be a reason to celebrate in Russia and China. This is something all Americans must come to understand in their internal bickering.

Oh purleeeez! China has already colonised most of the world without dropping a single bomb. Russia is quite happy with its huge oil reserves, endless natural resources and ever expanding cooperation with China thank you very much and doesn’t need to compete with anyone. I imagine both countries already see the US as a failed state, drowning in its own debt, and behind the scenes I imagine are probably helping to prop it up in order to stave off a global meltdown. They’re certainly not adversaries in the two dimensional way you suggest; that’s a very 20th century perspective.

Particularly comical that the old fashioned confrontationists are still fantasising about Ronald Reagan confronting an Evil Empire, while all around them their world slumps into Oceania confronting Eastasia.

I guess it is quite good news that California will have less pressure on resources, but is Texas any better? Where do they get water from?

There are always business or other incentives as well, but I suspect there might be an element of making sure they don’t finish up on the wrong side of any new borders that might arise over the next decade or two.

Wouldn’t want to end up in some leftist dominated totalitarian woke dystopia. Be like living in Islington….

Musk says lockdowns are facist .

give me a break.

How about an article on the Musk fronted Skynet / one web / Starlink ?

While everyone is consumed be the covid scam these people are busy constructing the total control grid .

As for a blue state exodus/brain drain , this is another complete distraction.

Please research Planatir, Thiel, Ellison , Oracle.

These are NOT conservative people/ organisations. The overarching global power players have no political allegiance except to the control plan .

ditto the politicians.

We are heading to a total control State and World . You will conform or succumb.

This story is a complete distraction, please will someone of influence produce some proper journalism before it’s too late.

Yeah, Musk complaining about fascist policies is a bit rich when he himself has fascist tendencies. Musk is part of the problem. He was recently quoted saying “privacy doesn’t matter”.

Moving to Texas is just a business decision for him, and nothing more. It’s disgusting that he tries to sugar coat it as some kind of stand against fascism. If he was really doing that he’d lobby the California state instead of moving.

Planet Lockdown’s interview with Catherine Fits explains well how Musk and his work builds the globalists surveillance state.

All planned.
They will take the same nonsense that ruined their own home instead of learning from the places they want to go to.
Typical migrant mindset

Think he might have a bit of a problem persuading Texans to welcome his company and then also to buy his grossly overpriced, world resource destroying and third world slave labour employing (mining the quite rare metals required in the batteries), leccy vehicles.

Hopefully.

After all Texas does have quite long distances to travel – bit of a problem for electric vehicles – and an historic attachment to cars with internal combustion engines.

Is he taking the workforce with him, or just pissing on them and telling them to bugger off I wonder?
