Biden Administration Desperate to Erase Memory of Covid Mandates

How can you tell the federal response to the novel coronavirus that we now refer to as COVID-19 has been a spectacular failure?

There are many signs, but this one is probably the starkest. The Biden administration has desperately tried to distance itself from the vaccine mandates it thrust upon the American people.

Unfortunately for Biden, many of us have collected the receipts and saved them up for just such an occasion (hat-tip Hot Air’s Beege Welborne).

Unfortunately for Biden, I read regulations for a living, so I will refer to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Emergency Temporary Standard, which:

• Covered private employers with 100 or more employees in a firm, or corporate-wide.
• Develop, implement, and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, with an exception for employers that instead establish, implement, and enforce a policy allowing employees to elect either to get vaccinated or to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at the workplace.
• And the kicker….employees had to tell employers about their vaccination status: “Determine the vaccination status of each employee, obtain acceptable proof of vaccination from vaccinated employees, maintain records of each employee’s vaccination status, and maintain a roster of each employee’s vaccination status.”

Yet, Douglas L. Parker was sworn in as Assistant Secretary of Labor (OSHA falls under that department), insists it was “categorically untrue,” saying, “We didn’t threaten anyone and we didn’t demand anyone be fired.”

This entire narrative is likely being reworked in preparation for the 2024 presidential campaign season.

There is even more COVID-19 failure to report. Over half of American adults are not planning to get the heavily promoted COVID boosters.

Among U.S. adults, 52% say they will “probably” or “definitely” not get the new COVID-19 vaccine, according to the latest KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation) COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor poll.Conversely, 23% of adults “definitely” plan to get the vaccine — while another 23% will “probably” get it.Among the people who said they “definitely” or “probably” will get the new shot, most are Democrats and/or at least 65 years old, the poll found.

In further failure news, the Nobel Prize committee has given the Physiology or Medicine award to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

The response to social media news suggests that many recognize the COVID-19 vaccine neither prevents the disease nor its transmission.

While mRNA vaccines may have a place in the array of effective treatments for ailments, they clearly haven’t made a dent in the endemic of COVID-19. The pain and hardship inflicted by those covid mandates…WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
