Republicans threaten to sue the Biden government for its vaccination mandate and he responds: "Go ahead."

2021-09-10T18:40:37.649Z


Scientists agree that the Administration's aggressive new measures will be effective in stopping the pandemic, even if the effect is not immediate.


For many scientists, President Joe Biden's mandate that companies with more than 100 employees force them to get vaccinated 

can work to stop the coronavirus pandemic,

experts say.

Cases and hospitalizations are expected to increase as people begin to save themselves in their homes, schools and offices due to the cold weather.

"It's going to fundamentally change the curve of the current rise," Ashish Jha, Ph.D. and dean of the School of Public Health at Brown University, told The New York Times.

"It is exactly what is needed right now."

But several Republican governors around the country plan to sue the Administration,

calling the mandate "unconstitutional"

and an affront to personal civil liberties.

The governors of Arizona, Texas, Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming and Georgia joined the chorus of criticism, and Ronna McDaniel, the president of the Republican National Committee, said on Twitter that her organization would

sue the Biden government.

Several have even called to rebel against the mandate.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem told conservative Fox News:

"In South Dakota, we are going to be free ... We will take action.

My legal team is already working on it."

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey echoed this sentiment: "This is exactly the kind of government overreach that we have tried so hard to prevent in Arizona, now the Biden-Harris Administration is targeting private businesses and individual freedoms. in a dangerous and unprecedented way, "said Ducey," this will never be upheld in court. "

He added:

"We must fight back and we will."

Tags like #DoNotComply, which means "Don't Obey," were trending on Twitter Thursday night.

Biden first reacted to these warnings of a legal attack during a visit to a school in Washington, DC on Friday morning.

"Come in," he said from the courtyard of the Brookland School.

"I am so disappointed that, in particular,

some Republican governors have been so arrogant and indifferent to the health of these children,

to the health of their communities," he said.

“We are playing in real life here.

This is not a game.

And I don't know of any scientist in this field who doesn't think it makes a lot of sense to do the six things I've suggested, "he added.

Biden refers to his plan which includes:

  • Require all federal employees and contractors, as well as companies with more than 100 employees, to be vaccinated.

  • Give more protection to those already vaccinated

  • Increase diagnostic tests and mask requirements

  • Focus on economic recovery

  • Improve care for infected patients by sending federal money to hospitals and clinics

  • Keep schools open and safe with protocols to avoid contagion.

One reason the Biden administration took more aggressive measures is to protect the economy, which appeared to be on the road to recovery until the rise in the dangerous delta variant ruined those plans.

A recent Federal Reserve report on economic activity cited a widespread decline in restaurant visits, travel and tourism due to the latest spike in COVID-19, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Prices continued to rise for the consumer and production lines remain stuck, the report says.

Some experts praised Biden's measures, but with caution.

Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, told the New York Times that these actions could be "too little, too late" and warned that

Americans who oppose vaccination could rage and rebel if told to do.

The American Hospital Association also warned that the measures "may result in

exacerbating the serious labor shortage problems

that currently exist."

Half of American workers favor vaccination mandates

in their own workplaces, according to an AP-NORC poll released last month, while only a quarter oppose them.
