President Biden Asks States To Offer The Unvaccinated $100
President Joe Biden is announcing strict new testing, masking and distancing requirements for federal employees who can’t or won’t show they’ve been vaccinated against the coronavirus, aiming to boost sluggish vaccine rates among the millions of Americans who draw federal paychecks and to set an example for employers around the country.
Biden’s move for the federal government by far the nation’s largest employer comes in the face of surging coronavirus rates driven by pockets of vaccine resistance and the more infectious delta variant. A number of major corporations and some local governments are ordering new requirements on their own, but the administration feels much more is needed.
