President Joe Biden’s administration is taking steps to require millions of American workers, including certain healthcare workers, to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

I just don’t get it ..Biden has no power over the people and neither does his idiotic unconstitutional “mandates” or executive orders..I guess this is where the bribes come into play. Amazing how the White House, Congress and their staff’s are EXEMPT as is the CDC, FDA. all the jujab companies etc.
