Daily Wire Refuses to Comply with Biden's Vaccine Mandate: The Daily Wire, a company with over 100 employees, will not comply with Biden's vaccine mandate due to constitutional concerns, burden, and lack of consideration for natural immunity and low-risk demographics.
The Daily Wire, a company with over 100 employees, will not comply with President Joe Biden's mandate requiring vaccinations or weekly testing for all companies with over 100 employees. The Daily Wire's CEO, Jeremy Boren, is not anti-vaccine but believes Biden overstepped his bounds with this mandate, which could impact over 80 million private sector workers and result in fines for non-compliance. Boren argues that the mandate is unconstitutional, burdensome, and anti-science as it doesn't account for natural immunity or low-risk demographics. The Daily Wire intends to resist the mandate using all legal means available.
OSHA's COVID-19 mandate and individual liberties: OSHA's COVID-19 mandate infringes on individual liberties and constitutional rights, with vaccination rates high enough to question the necessity.
The use of unelected bureaucratic machinery like OSHA to force businesses into enforcing COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandates is seen as a violation of democratic principles and a breach of constitutional order. With over 75% of American adults already vaccinated, there's no compelling reason for such encroachment on individual liberties. The government and employers should not act as surrogate parents, and people should be allowed to make their own choices regarding their health. The Daily Wire, along with other businesses, has taken a stance against this perceived tyranny and is prepared to fight back legally. This issue represents a line in the sand for many, and it remains to be seen how others will respond. In essence, personal freedoms and constitutional rights should not be compromised for the sake of perceived safety measures.
