The Unifier

 


Taking his toughest tone yet against those Americans still unvaccinated, President Joe Biden has triggered vows of legal challenges from GOP governors representing some of the very states where he's trying to use mandates to get more people inoculated.

At least 19 Republican governors have lashed back at Biden's promise to use OSHA to pressure employers  to mandate COVID-19 vaccines or have workers submit to weekly testing. The Republican governors called the mandate an overreach that will force Americans to choose between their job and the vaccine. While the Democratic governors are saying " God help US all"

While Biden said, during a visit to local middle school, that all scientists would agree with his new strategy that using protecting public health as a justification for mandates makes "considerable sense." 

His taking a combative tone may come with new political and public health risks and further polarize Americans, fueling the already bitter political divide around the pandemic.

The saying is commonly attributed to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who supposedly wrote, “L'enfer est plein de bonnes volontés ou désirs,” which translates to hell is full of good intentions and wishes
