The Biden administration is walking a fine line on vaccine requirements, as it encourages employers to mandate shots for their workers but stops short of promoting other measures.

The White House, in an effort to boost a vaccination rate that has slowed from its April peak, has praised businesses that are mandating vaccinations for employees. Those steps in the private sector largely followed President Biden’s requirement last month that federal workers get vaccinated or submit to regular testing.

But there are several far-reaching measures Biden could impose — and that some experts are calling for. So far, the president has decided against implementing the kind of requirements implemented by U.S. allies.

For example, Canada on Friday announced it would require all airline passengers to be vaccinated, as well travelers on interprovincial trains and cruise ships — steps the U.S. has not taken, though a mask mandate remains in place for interstate travel.

In the U.S., New York and San Francisco are now requiring people to be vaccinated if they want to eat at indoor restaurants or go to the gym. (Read more from “Biden Walks Fine Line on Vaccine Mandates” HERE)

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Dr. Vin Gupta argued why anti-vaccine activists should be denied major medical treatments.

As he explained it, if someone is waiting on the liver transplant list and has a drink of wine in six months, they don’t get a liver — and he wants to apply that same sentiment to other major treatments.

“You should be fully vaccinated if you get ECMO, dialysis, we can go into greater detail, but we need to have that paradigm,” he told Joy Reid. “Elective procedures across the country, here in the pacific northwest are being delayed again, and people are tired of that. Also what we’re noticing is the rise of other health threats are real and emerging in a big way. Respiratory virus, a big virus that can affect kids, usually December to February is causing children’s hospitals to fill up with RSV patients. This is a critical time for us to rethink, how do we think about care rationing.”

It’s a similar sentiment some have argued in the past several months in opinion columns and letters to the editor. The thought is that if anti-vaxxers refuse to get the vaccine and they end up dying with astronomical medical bills, that money doesn’t disappear, it’s passed onto other insured people with high premiums and higher hospital costs.

They were hard to miss on the corner of a busy four-way intersection at the entrance to Winchester Medical Center: a group of about 20 people – many of them nurses, some in scrubs – protesting the hospital’s recent coronavirus vaccine mandate.

Some were on a quasi-strike, skipping a day of work to stand on the side of the road in scorching heat, holding signs that demanded, “NO FORCED VACCINATION.” . . .

The nurses’ employer, Valley Health, the parent company of Winchester Medical Center, had given them an ultimatum: Get the shot or face termination. And those standing on the street corner Tuesday had already made up their minds.

Valley Health announced a vaccine mandate for its 6,300 employees at its six locations on July 19, while offering religious and medical exemptions for eligible applicants. The hospital system joins a growing number of medical institutions, universities, governments and companies that have turned to employee vaccine requirements to ensure the safest possible workplaces as the highly contagious delta variant ushers in another deadly wave. For the majority of Valley Health employees, the policy was not a problem; 75 percent are fully vaccinated, the company said. (Read more from “Get the Vaccine or Get Fired?
