The Facts

  • The Biden admin. announced Monday that it will end most vaccine requirements for federal workers, international travelers, contractors, Head Start employees, and healthcare workers at many hospitals on May 11.

  • This comes after House Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) introduced a bill in February to end the pandemic national emergency, which was passed by all Republicans and some Democrats in a 229-197 vote. Pres. Biden then signed the bill on April 10.


The Spin

Left narrative

Biden's vaccine requirements protected both the American people and foreign nationals who wished to visit the US. While new variants were spreading like wildfire, the president understood the importance of vaccines and their role as the primary tool in combating the virus. Now that the pandemic is waning and the vaccine campaign was a success, the US has entered a new phase of the COVID response that doesn't require such stringent policies.

Right narrative

Vaccine mandates were an unjustified attack on civil liberties. As Biden and his buddies in Big Pharma knew all along, the vaccines were not the only tool available to combat COVID — but they were the most profitable. Now that the media-Big Pharma-government complex has been exposed for its lies, the American people cannot let them off scot-free. Anyone who cares about the truth must investigate the apparent corporate-government coverup and hold those who lied accountable.
