“We were patient. But our patience is running out and your refusal has cost us all dearly,” said US President Joe Biden to the ten million Americans who have not yet wanted to be vaccinated against the corona virus. Biden announces coronavirus vaccination obligations for almost all federal government employees. In addition, companies with more than 100 employees should encourage their employees to vaccinate or have them tested weekly. The new measures, which Biden outlined in the White House, will apply to about two-thirds of all US workers. Together with the speech, the measures represent the strongest steps yet to induce Americans to vaccinate. The rapidly expanding delta variant is triggering a new wave of illness and death in the United States. Only 62 percent of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated.
