Biden administration has considered mandating vaccine for interstate travel as part of tougher measures to get more shots in arms, report claims
2021-08-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Joe Biden's administration weighed mandating vaccines for interstate travel as part of a series of stricter rules to combat the rising COVID rate and encourage Americans to get their shot in the arm.

But the administration worried such a move would be too polarizing, the Associated Press reported.

However, that option remains on the table if public opinion polls shift, indicating more and more people see vaccines as the best route to returning to normalcy.

#9  Truckers are the only thing that keep this country from collapse, especially during COVID.
A list of trucker’s race between 35 and 40 is approximately,
400k White, 200k Hispanic, 150k black.
After looking at the race of people who have not gotten vaccinated, what do you suppose will happen if “bite one” implemented this order?

#8  Meh. Another Democratic trial balloon, impossible to execute.

What would they do, put police checkpoints on all the federal highways where they cross state lines? I suspect the majority of interstate traffic is local, on local streets and state routes — and the majority of states would not have any interesting in enforcing such a federal mandate.

And then there is the racism piece:



True or not, if the New York Times said it, the Democrats must believe it is so.

#7  Foreign invaders can come into the country but an American can't travel from state to state?

Nobody is going to pay attention to a mandate limiting interstate travel based on whether or not you have a vaxx.

Polarization is a euphemism for a complete government-initiated shitstorm. The resistance to such a mandate would be huge. The American people might just put an end to the endless crap coming out of the government.

#5  This administration is not following the constitution, the supreme court, laws of the land, its so 20th century, don't you know. We are the Executive Order, make it up as you go, life and death moves too fast for law society. Trust us, we know it all... you're going to die anyway, so sit back and relax, enjoy the new woke society, after all we built it for you.

#4  Interstate travel is a Constitutional right. This is like only allowing free speech or habeas corpus if you get a jab.
