Lawmakers in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Missouri are considering similar worker protections in a Republican-led effort to fight back against President Joe Biden\u2019s federal vaccine orders, which cover millions of private workers and federal contractors, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2021\/12\/27\/5-gop-led-states-extend-unemployment-aid-workers-who-lose-jobs-over-vaccine-mandates\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of the states that have boosted unemployment insurance for unvaccinated workers, only Kansas is run by a split government with a Democratic governor and GOP-controlled legislature. The rest of the states are under full GOP control at the state level.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s vaccine orders have sparked widespread and intense pushback from elected officials and private businesses. The Daily Wire is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-scotus-agrees-to-hear-arguments-on-biden-vax-mandate&#039;\">leading<\/a> a legal challenge against one of Biden\u2019s orders mandating that companies with at least 100 employees either vaccinate or regularly test workers for COVID-19. Any worker who refuses the vaccine or tests must be fired or the business will be fined a minimum of roughly $14,000 per infraction, according to the mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Biden administration\u2019s push for a federal fix for the spread of COVID-19, the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/you-unparalleled-boob-biden-blasted-for-finally-pushing-covid-back-to-the-states-so-what-orange-man-wanted-got-it\">said<\/a> on Monday during a call with state governors that \u201cthere is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four of the states \u2014 Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, and Tennessee \u2013 cut federal emergency unemployment benefits in June over concerns that boosted unemployment insurance was incentivizing workers to stay home and out of the job market despite the reduced risk of severe COVID-19 after the widespread availability of vaccines. Those states are now boosting unemployment benefits again over the Biden administration\u2019s orders that would strip unvaccinated Americans of employment.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s orders are designed to coerce Americans to get vaccinated. Earlier this month, the president resorted to apocalyptic warnings to drive Americans to get vaccinated.
