The White House is considering pressuring institutions into requiring the COVID vaccine by withholding federal funds, according to WaPo.
The White House is considering using its federal power to pressure institutions into requiring the COVID-19 shot, according to the Washington Post. Under the new potential policy from the Biden administration, institutions such as universities, cruise lines, and even long-term care facilities that rely on federal funding to operate could risk losing their government dollars if they don’t comply with vaccine mandates. The White House’s bid, aimed at getting the roughly 50 percent of the country that is unvaccinated to get their dose of the COVID-19 shot, could particularly focus on those organizations that receive funding through Medicare.
