**US Election: President Biden to Address the Nation on Vaccine Mandates**
US President Joe Biden is expected to address the nation on Thursday, September 9, 2021, to announce new vaccine mandates for federal employees and contractors, as well as for businesses with more than 100 employees.
The move comes as the Biden administration is facing increasing pressure to take more aggressive action to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which has killed more than 650,000 Americans.
In recent weeks, the Delta variant of the virus has caused a surge in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths across the country. The variant is now the dominant strain of the virus in the United States, and it is particularly contagious among unvaccinated people.
The Biden administration has been working on a plan to require all federal employees and contractors to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The plan is expected to be announced on Thursday, and it will likely require employees to be vaccinated by a certain date or face termination.
The administration is also expected to announce a new rule that will require businesses with more than 100 employees to require their employees to be vaccinated or tested for COVID-19 on a weekly basis. Businesses that fail to comply with the rule could face fines.
The new vaccine mandates are likely to face legal challenges from businesses and individuals who oppose them. However, the Biden administration is confident that it has the legal authority to implement the mandates.
The administration argues that the mandates are necessary to protect the health and safety of the American people. The mandates are also expected to help the country reach its goal of getting 70% of adults vaccinated by the end of the year.
The vaccine mandates are a significant step in the Biden administration’s fight against COVID-19. The mandates are likely to be controversial, but the administration believes that they are necessary to protect the health and safety of the American people..
