But it had held off carrying it out until Mr. Biden announced last week that he was directing the Labor Department to issue an emergency safety declaration that would effectively function as a vaccine mandate for tens of millions of workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s much less opportunity for people to go somewhere they don\u2019t need to be vaccinated,\u201d Boyle reportedly said, adding that having unvaccinated employees is \u201chighly disruptive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A White House official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/biden-meet-executives-microsoft-disney-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-wsj-2021-09-15\/\">described<\/a> the gathering as a \u201crallying cry\u201d to sway other companies to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2021\/09\/15\/vaccine-mandate-biden-meeting\/\">According<\/a> to The Washington Post, Biden \u201cis looking to demonstrate his actions have the support of some of the nation\u2019s largest businesses and brush aside criticism from Republicans that the mandates are executive overreach.\u201d The requirement is expected to impact more than 80 million employees in private sector businesses. Unvaccinated workers will be subjected to weekly testing if they choose not to get jabbed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about freedom or personal choice,\u201d Biden said when he addressed the nation last week. \u201cIt\u2019s about protecting yourself and those around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During Biden\u2019s speech, he appeared to repeatedly blame unvaccinated Americans for increased COVID-19 transmission nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Several Republican governors have pushed back against Biden\u2019s \u201cCOVID-19 Action Plan,\u201d which includes fines up to $14,000 per violation for businesses that don\u2019t comply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President has no authority to require that Americans inject themselves because of their employment at a private business,\u201d tweeted Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves on the day the Biden administration revealed its strategy. \u201cThe vaccine itself is life-saving, but this unconstitutional move is terrifying.
