Vacationing Biden Is Considering COVID Vaccine Mandate for Domestic Travel
Joe Biden told reporters Tuesday evening in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where he is on vacation this week that he is considering a COVID vaccine mandate for domestic travel but is waiting on a recommendation from his medical team of advisors. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is Biden’s chief medical advisor, said this past weekend he is in favor of a vaccine mandate for air travel if only to coerce more people to get vaccinated. Earlier this month Biden told reporters his team had told him that was not needed.
Biden currently has a mask mandate for domestic plane, bus, rail and boat travelers as well as airports, bus and train stations.
