SALT LAKE CITY — President Biden announced significant mask mandates on Thursday, impacting nearly 80 million Americans.
He said that all employers with more than 100 workers require that their employees be vaccinated or be tested weekly for COVID-19.

President Biden has no right to mandate the vaccine. The government’s duty is to present the facts, then trust the people to make their own decision.
An American’s ability to work and earn a living should not be threatened by an arrogant federal government.
