Pres. Biden says a mandate to require all federal employees to be vaccinated is now 'under consideration.'
"It's under consideration right now," Biden said when asked by ABC News if the federal government would expand the vaccine mandate."But if you're not vaccinated, you're not nearly as smart as I thought you were."
"And the only one thing we know for sure, if those other 100 million people got vaccinated we'd be in a very different world. So get vaccinated. If you aren't, you're not nearly as smart as I thought you were," Biden continued. He also acknowledged concerns that as cases rise and mask guidance is reversed that the U.S. could be heading back to restrictions and closures but said in the statement,"We are not going back to that."
