Moolenaar Statement on Biden's Vaccine Requirement for Private Businesses

September 9, 2021

Today, President Joe Biden announced a vaccine mandate on American businesses with 100 or more employees. The White House did not say why the mandate applied to businesses with 100 or more employees, or which part of the Constitution allowed it to impose such a mandate.

"The federal government has no right to impose this requirement on private businesses or private citizens," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "President Biden declared that America was free from COVID restrictions in July, but now he is reluctant to let the American people make their own decisions. This federal overreach is alarming and every American should be concerned about how this president and future presidents will abuse the power of the federal government to make Americans do what they want.

"I encourage everyone to get one of the vaccines and protect themselves from COVID-19, and I trust Michigan residents to do what is best for them and their families."
