Joe Biden is defending his highly-controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandate despite constitutional challenges and litigations by a number of states. He addressed construction workers in Elk Grove Village, Illinois Thursday. The Delaware native played down skepticism of his mandate by pointing to current vaccination requirements for other ailments.
âWeâve been living with these requirements throughout our lives: students, health care professionals, our troops have been required to see vaccination for everything from polio to measles to mumps to rubella,â Biden stated. âAnd the reason most people in America donât worry about polio, measles, mumps, rubella is because theyâve been vaccinated.â
