“I got hit in my left arm, and I can draw with my right arm.”
Various incentives have also emerged to increase vaccination rates.
New York gives parents $100 in cash for vaccinating their child, and Chicago gives the child a $100 gift card directly.
Despite encouraging children to be vaccinated and making the vaccine mandatory for private companies, the vaccination completion rate for the entire American population is still at 58% and is not rising.
Under this circumstance, the Biden administration’s policy of compulsory vaccination is being put on hold in many places.
The 5th U.S. Court of Appeals has decided to temporarily suspend the immunization requirement for businesses with 100 or more employees, saying there is a “significant constitutional problem.”
As a result, compulsory measures have become invalid in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, which have filed lawsuits.
The U.S. government plans to continue the legal battle, but the Biden administration’s plan to make it mandatory is inevitable as lawsuits are ongoing in other regions.
