Biden: Ignore The Law, Obey Me | Ep. 1372

Legal Battles

The Biden administration's vaccine mandate has sparked significant constitutional challenges. Ben Shapiro argues that the mandate lacks constitutional and statutory authority, emphasizing that it forces employers to fire unvaccinated employees without proper legal backing 1. He highlights the potential financial penalties for non-compliance, which could reach up to $136,000 per violation. Shapiro notes, "The Biden administration does not have the constitutional or statutory authority to force employers to fire their employees for not getting vaccinated for COVID-19" 1. The administration's approach is seen as a form of posturing, with Shapiro suggesting that the Supreme Court may not support the mandate 2.

   

Worker Impact

The vaccine mandate's impact on workers is profound, affecting various sectors and leading to job losses. Shapiro shares stories of individuals losing their jobs due to the mandate, including a woman who lost her position after 12 years of service 1. He argues that the mandate's enforcement is causing unnecessary fear and panic, contributing to workforce shortages 3. Shapiro states, "There is a correlation between your level of fear and panic and your level of trust in the government" 3. This fear, he suggests, is exacerbated by the administration's narrative that COVID-19 remains a significant threat despite available vaccines and therapeutics.
