This afternoon, President Joe Biden announce sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates for the United States. It is the biggest vaccine mandate in the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main headline of the plan is to use the Department of Labor to compel employers to get their staffs fully vaccinated. Here is the text from the President's plan:

"The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is developing a rule that will require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated..."

Forbes is reporting that businesses who do not comply with the President's new plan will face $14,000 fines per infraction.
