Biden's vaccine push wins cautious business support as political opponents fume

Bob Harvey’s phone did not ring.

In Washington, a political furor had erupted over President Biden’s new coronavirus vaccine and testing mandate for businesses, with Republicans howling about an unconstitutional power grab and vowing to challenge him in the courts.

But in Houston, where Harvey heads the city’s largest business group, employers took the news in stride.

“I have not heard from my members today, which is interesting. I think the reason is what he announced is so in line with the conversations we’ve been having,” Harvey, the chief executive officer of the Greater Houston Partnership, said Friday. “This will come as a relief to the business community, to have an order that requires all of them to move together.”

“This will come as a relief to the business community, to have an order that requires all of them to move together.”

As I foretold.

I'm sure there will end up being some companies that protest, and get outsized coverage for doing so though, since the M$M loves their RW narratives.

You need to be vaccinated or you must work from home. My son's firm will let you submit a request for an exemption to HR but I got the impression that these exemptions will be rarely granted

I mean no one is going to get vaccinated for the privilege of a one hour commute to a dingy office filled with narricisists and energy vampires. 🧛‍♀️
