Union That Backed Biden in 2020 In Uproar About His New Vaccine Mandate

On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced new requirements for federal workers and contractors. “Federal workers will be required to sign forms attesting they’ve been vaccinated against the coronavirus or else comply with new rules on mandatory masking, weekly testing, distancing and more” reports the Associated Press.

Biden’s announcement came just one day after the American Postal Workers Union issued a statement to Biden saying forcing vaccinations upon its workers is wrong. “Maintaining the health and safety of our members is of paramount importance. While the APWU leadership continues to encourage postal workers to voluntarily get vaccinated, it is not the role of the federal government to mandate vaccinations for the employees we represent” read the statement.

The Western Journal reports:

“Issues related to vaccinations and testing for COVID-19 in the workplace must be negotiated with the APWU. At this time the APWU opposes the mandating of COVID-19 vaccinations in relation to U.S. postal workers.”

Last June, the union attacked former President Donald Trump for even considering the notion of privatization, and said that it supported Biden as the best choice to ensure that union members would face no such disruptions to their lives that Trump might cause.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recently come out saying vaccinated and unvaccinated people can spread the delta variant of the coronavirus but have yet to release any data. You know, that “science” everyone loves so much.

Associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health Gregg Gonsalves said, “they’re making a claim that people with delta who are vaccinated and unvaccinated have similar levels of viral load, but nobody knows what that means…it’s meaningless unless we see the data.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci himself said, “I think the implications [of the data] are that people who are vaccinated, even when they’re asymptomatic, can transmit the virus, which is the scientific foundation of why this recommendation is being made.”
