President Biden: 'The rule is very simple: get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.'

lifting mask requirements for people who are fully vaccinated, crediting his administration's vaccination program with dramatically reducing the impact of the coronavirus.

Now let's finish the work of beating this virus and getting everything back to normal."Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and a group of senators took their masks off during an Oval Office meeting, and first lady Jill Biden, Sen.

Sorry Joe. You can't make everyone get vaccinated it's unconstitutional. I'm vaccinated myself but realize that you can't make everyone bend to your wishes. Give up now it won't end well for ya.

The media is making it confusing by trying to get a story going. It’s really simple. Get vaccinated or wear mask. If you don’t do either, you will get sick.

In America, I almost had to hire a lawyer and sue the city of Philadelphia to get the vaccine. The govs own def of Health Disparities include people with mental and physical disabilities, but NO where is there support for anything but race minorities. Something is wrong here.

Zionism will end and Palestine will get back all its lands. Jews will be prosecuted again for being so aggressive and their aggression will end as it is mentioned in the Torah.

Not getting vaccinated! Look I don’t trust the vaccine, it isn’t safe. they want you to get it, they want you to get the meds that they mixed together, and rushed out to the public. It was never tested on the virus, it was all rush job. SMH.

Or none of the above

Yeah!

Or lie and buy a fake vaccine card for 100 bucks instead of getting the shot, FOR FREE

I wish my farmer would let me wear a mask...but I’m just a guard donkey who lives in a pasture. 😷

🙄🙄

I’m vaccinated & will wear my mask until I know COVID19 is gone.

Honesty is the best policy until wrong people in the wrong places decide to be dishonest. That's the big gaping hole in this approach.

Nah

Then why are you still wearing one, Joe? 🤣

Darn skippy

How about I do whatever the hell I want! President doesn’t get to make arbitrary laws.

I'm not taking any vaccines n I don't wear a 😷..what you going to do about it.

CDC already said you don’t need a mask if vaccinated

Wait. So we need to show proof when out in public? I want to see his.

🖕

I will do both until herd immunity is reached……im guessing forever😅

He can vaccinate these nuts.

shomaristone Bet. I’ll take the mask option. COVID19

The same people who want everyone to carry citizenship papers oppose vaccine passports

'This is tyranny!' Scream the people who have never known oppression

I was going to get vaccinated but now after seeing this I don't think I will.

Trump was never charged over the matter.The Judiciary committee stressed in its Tuesday court filing that Trump isn't a party to the McGahn case and is 'not a party to the agreement.'What they're saying: Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement Wednesday, 'When the former President vowed to fight 'all of the subpoenas' aimed at his Administration, he began a dangerous campaign of unprecedented obstruction. We begin to bring that era of obstruction to an end today.'The other side: Representatives for Trump did not immediately return Axios' request for comment.
