Then mind your own business. This is a good thing for the entire world.
The same people that celebrated and drank beer every time trump did an EO to fuck over Democrats or Minorities, are now pissed Biden can do the same thing, calling it 1984, saying they are going to get fired, and saying this is a line in the sand.
MORE!
Vaccine mandates have generally been fine in the past. This probably checks out. SCOTUS isn't quite part of the Trump suicide cult.
I imagine it would naturally fall under OSHA since its through Department of Labor
Quit to avoid the shot. Immediately catches Covid. Ends up in hospital, sick and jobless. Crowdfunding and Prayer Warriors unite to help this poor soul that brought this on themselves.
Worst take I've seen on this site in a long time.
The government telling big business to enforce vaccinations is literally the government doing something about their responsibility?????????
It's somewhat my business as well, because other countries might copy it.
Though in my country they actually came up with a similar (yet not quite strict) policy months ago already.
Businesses don't really have means of forcing people to get vaccinated. Except for firing people, I guess. I don't know how easy it is to legally fire someone who doesn't want to get vaccinated in the US.
And then I also don't believe that unvaccinated people should have no right to work for big companies, tbh.
I don't even know where to start.
An actual personal vaccine mandate from the government would be struck down by the Supreme Court in seconds. This is absolutely the best way to ensure that millions of people quit fucking around and get vaccinated.
Based on your later posts here you seem unfamiliar with some of our regulations, but yes, it is stupid easy for businesses to fire people in America for anything you can think of, and that includes vaccination requirements.
The vaccines have been made free to all Americans regardless of income status because of this government. Biden's government has done its part, now it's time for businesses to do theirs.

What does that look like?
Part of this stems from federal government's limits on what it can actually do vs state governments, re mask mandates and lockdown procedures. There are some levers the federal government doesn't have access to.
People whine about bad US posters' takes on other countries' affairs.
And then you go do this.
In nearly every state you can fire people for literally any reason except race, religion or gender
Uhh yeah they do. They can not staff the employee, put them on unpaid leave, or fire them
And it's very easy to fire someone if it's not for a protected reason (race, religion, sex IIRC)
Come to the US where "Right to Work" laws mean you can be fired for no reason whatso-fucking-ever. Being unvaccinated is at least a reason which is a higher bar than is currently there in many states.
I hope you stay mad and miserable. Biden forcing it this way easily saves tens of thousands of lives, and helps sane people get back to normal faster.
done coddling fools
nice
this one will be hard to make stick though
I doubt there will be enough oversight and manpower to enforce
although....👇

Public health is absolutely a business responsibility,. You can't just dump pollutants in the water, you can just allow viruses to run rampant, there has always been a public responsibility to a business.
$10,000 bounty for employees that report employers breaking this law.
Fixed. Thanks Texas!
Guessing "all businesses" is more of an enforcement issue than anything else, it would be a nightmare to try and chase down every hair salon and hardware store who's owner just lies "yeah my guys are vaxxed"
It's called "Performance Evaluations", and you only find out about it when you're terminated.
Yes, it's a thing. Yes, it's legal. And even worse for at-will states, that are usually Republican.
I also imagine that a lot of businesses would be more than happy for an excuse to fire an anti-vaxxer as they are generally garbage asshole people and all their co-workers probably hate them.
I feel like this would be easier to enforce than people think. Like, Walmart, Apple, Disney, Amazon, Best Buy, McDonalds, etc aren't gonna want to deal with issues from it. They'll enforce it and just by virtue of that large swaths will be vaccinated. It's good for business.
It's probably bad for business if you're publicly known as a place where people aren't vaccinated.
