I support this, but I expect it to be challenged and I'm not sure whether it would survive. Would welcome the opinion of someone with some background on these kinds of rules.

I would support it if congress passed it. An executive order?! I hope the courts tear it apart.

Let's take Biden's facts at face value.

CDC says the current running average is 12,156 covid hospitalizations per week [0].

175M vaccinated according to Biden

1 in 160,000 hospitalized per day according to biden

Total US population is 328.2M, so 153.2M are unvaccinated.

CDC says 1736.57 hospitalizations per day at present.

175e6 / 160e3 = 1094 vaccinated hospitalized per day

That leaves 643 unvaccinated people hospitalized per day

153.2e6 / 643 = 1 unvaccinated per 238k hospitalized per day

If the President and CDC are not lying, then unvaccinated people are NOT the problem.

This mandate is forcing corporations to take a political stand one way or the other. We’re about to find out which team a whole bunch of CEOs root for.

If I were Biden, and my goal was “uniting the country,” I’m not sure this is the approach I would take.
