Biden Warns of ‘Planned Inspections’ & Hefty Fines to Enforce Covid Vaccine Mandate

The Biden administration warned on Thursday that there would be “planned inspections” as well as hefty fines to make sure that businesses are complying with their new covid vaccine mandate.

A senior Biden official told reporters about the planned measures saying that businesses have been given until Jan. 4 to make sure their employees have received the shots necessary to be fully vaccinated.

All unvaccinated workers must start wearing masks by Dec. 5 and provide a negative Covid test on a weekly basis after the deadline.

He added: “We also will be having some programmed or planned inspections where we do go to workplaces to check to make certain that the workplace is in compliance with the rule”

Brietbart reports: The official said they would focus much of their vaccine mandate enforcement efforts on employers where employees complained about their working status.

Employers face a standard penalty of $14,000 per violation, which could escalate if they refuse to be compliant. Willful or repeated violations of the rule could cost as much as $136,532.

“For example, if we identify that an employer is willfully violating a standard, then that penalty is significantly higher than a workplace that is not willfully doing so,” the official noted.

The White House also warned health care facilities the government will terminate them from Medicare and Medicaid programs as further punishment if they did not comply with the mandate.

“Termination would really only occur if, after providing a facility with an opportunity to make corrections and come into compliance, they chose not to do so,” the official said.

After extensive review, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration filed Thursday their official emergency temporary standard for vaccine requirements.

“The bottom line is: Vaccination requirements work,” the official concluded. “And the actions we’re taking tomorrow will lead to millions of Americans getting vaccinated, protecting workers, saving lives, strengthening our economy, and helping it to accelerate our path out of this pandemic.”

  1. Fascist and tyrannical governments use this sort of tactic and rhetoric. Ve haf vays of making you comply with our control and destruction of your nation.

    Pure bullshit. Just ask Sweden.

    The only thing they work to do is line the pockets of pharma and their investors/benfactors. The only thing they work to do is help extend the longevity of the virus in variants. The only thing “mandates” work to do is to put otherwise not-at-risk people, at risk of unnecessary side effects.

  3. Businesses: Just say no. Say no to the mask. Say no to social distancing. Say no to mandates. Say no to fines. Make them arrest the whole damn country. there aren’t enough “inspectors” to enforce this, nor cops, nor jail space.

    • Exactly! Mass noncompliance is the only way to end this tyranny! Extend a collective middle finger to the pests and watch them shrink and fade into obscurity.

    • You know I smelled this stench way back in the early nineties, the approaching effluence and odour and was saying “just say NO! to everything , even back then. Didn’t work. Anyway it’s every man for himself now Jeep your back to the wall. The evil ones are everywhere.

  4. Tick tock tick tock, it’s time for Joe to blow. Bit isn’t it so Coincidental how they play good cop bad cop to time it all to get everything done their way? No intent Naturally not Just serendipitous events.

  5. If companies just lay off people so they don’t have one hundred employees or contract work around they won’t be violating the law and won’t have to pay any hefty fines. Not to mention some people having to comply and others don’t is a violation of the equal protection of the laws.

  6. More Biden fear mongering. OSHA doesn’t have enough Brown Shirts to go out and enforce these illegal rules and even if they did, whatever. Can you imagine some random cad in an OSHA vest asking you for your papers so they can verify why you’re not wearing a mask, as if they’re someone important to be listened to? Laughable at best especially when OSHA barely responds to real safety complaints as it is.

  7. A representative republic is a democracy, ivan.

    After so many years, I see that you’re still obsessed with me. This is not healthy, @Duxburian:disqus
