White House Taunts Texas and Florida for Fighting Vaccine Mandates: Joe Biden Will Override State Laws
Breitbart ^ | 10/12/21 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/13/2021 8:01:46 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The White House on Tuesday warned Republican governors of Texas and Florida that President Joe Biden would override their efforts to fight coronavirus vaccine mandates in their states.

“We know that federal law overrides state law,” she said referring to state attempts to ban vaccine passports.

She accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of playing politics by issuing executive orders that fight vaccine passports.

“Why would you be taking steps that prevent the saving of lives that make it more difficult to save lives across the country or in any state?” she asked.

Psaki argued that the governors were “putting politics ahead of public health.”

“Every leader should be focused on supporting efforts to save lives and end the pandemic,” she said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order Monday banning any entity in Texas from requiring vaccine mandates for their employees or their customers.

“In yet another instance of federal government overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’s continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster,” Abbott wrote.

DeSantis signed legislation in May banning vaccine passports in Florida.

On Tuesday, he announced fines for Leon County for firing 14 employees after they refused to get the vaccine.

“We must protect the jobs of Floridians and preserve the ability of Floridians to make their own decisions regarding what shots to take,” he said.

Biden announced his intention in September to enact a new rule requiring all businesses over 100 employees to require their workers to get vaccinated for the coronavirus or lose their jobs.

You're the guy that likes to reference the CDC.

Here's what it has concluded:

https://www.cdc.gov/aging/covid19/covid19-older-adults.html

Adults 65 years old and older who were fully vaccinated with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) had a 94% reduction in risk of COVID-19 hospitalizations and vaccination was 64% effective among those who were partially vaccinated (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna).

Yeah think that might be why Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz all got vaccinated?

Oh yeah, “Cornpop”, that legendary figure who has never been shown to exist. We don’t even have the slightest proof.
Can you imagine the media scramble to locate him if Trump told that story?

Remember, you're the one referencing the CDC...Here's another study from the CDC about the vaccine:

Unvaccinated people are about 29 times more likely to be hospitalized with Covid-19 than those who are fully vaccinated, according to a study released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new study, published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, also found that unvaccinated people were nearly five times more likely to be infected with Covid than people who got the shots. The results are based on data from Los Angeles County between May 1 and July 25, the agency said.

Those that repeat idiotic conspiracy theories that make conservatives and Republicans look stupid are the most likely to be trolls and should be banned.

I'd bet good money, you believe 9/11 was an inside job and that the Sandy Hook kids were actors and never died.

Come out of the closet as an Alex Jones fan.

"Include this in my prior post"

A nice summary article.

The fundemental issue is one's Probable Level of Immunity to any given pathogen, NOT how you happened to achieve it.

While I wouldn't roll the dice on achieving "natural immunity" to rabies, ebola, or tetanus, in the case of COVID19, the data increasingly shows that natural immunity is the low risk winner.

Hey, troll-boi suck on this.

What percentage of the workforce for companies > 100 people, are age 65 and over?

You should have been banned long ago.

You’re lying through your foul teeth again.
Or, they are.

They lump in those with less than 2 weeks since the jab as “unjabbed”.

Thumb on the scales.

You should’ve been banned long ago.

"When will he require those on welfare/entitlements to get the shots?"

Good question. Answer: Never.

The first two sentences are rather odd. I never knew the 'White House' was a 'she'.

In any case, Desantis knows that a very large and patriotic majority has his back here in Florida. He has been fighting leftist overreach better than any other governor in office, and he deserves all the public support we can muster.

The Justices of the SCOTUS get a federal paycheck just like the rest of them.


That judges get paid by the government always disturbed me.

Let’s say there is a tax case. Should I reduce revenue to the money pot from which I get paid?

Should I rule against my employer?

“We know that federal law overrides state law”

1850’s Fugitive Slave Act would prove differently.

It was the most ignored/nullified federal law *ever*

Average people, local officials, juries refused to comply. An entire state passed a law directly opposing that federal legislation.

If people don’t want to answer to federal law... they won’t.

Yo made bro? lol.

You're nuts. The crazy anti-vax stupidity doesn't not equate to conservative.

A moron like you would demand Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz all be banned for encouraging citizens to get the vaccine.

All aboard....Crazy but that's how it goes....

Peter Hotez

Who the hell is that?

You don't answer the questions:

1) Do you believe 9/11 was an inside job?

2) Do you believe the Sandy Hook kids were actors and alive getting the pictures taken somewhere at reunions in some undisclosed location?

3) Could you pass Rush Limbaugh's kook test?

4) How often do you watch or listen to Alex Jones or frequent his websites?

Afraid to answer. lol

But, you quoting the CDC earlier. Now, you're saying the CDC isn't credible.

The CDC is only credible if you can use to spin your conspiracies.

You're a joke.

How many members of the White House press corps asked Psaki. “what law”? I’m guessing the answer is zero.

There are 28 republican governors. Where are the rest of them?

No doubt they are hiding in a fetal position somewhere hoping the voters will just accept their collectivist fate.

Are you taking into consideration the fact that vaccinated people will only be considered to have a positive Covid test if the PCR test shows a positive by 28 amplification cycles, whereas unvaccinated people’s tests can be counted as a positive with many more amplification cycles, up in the range that has multiple false positives? If the CDC wants more Americans to take the vaccine, they should be using real science and real statistics to show people that it’s definitely worth taking. We should know the statistics on how many amplification cycles have been used in the tests to count as positive from the beginning.
