Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said on Sept. 12 that he believes President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, announced last week, “hardens the resistance” some people may have to getting inoculated.
Biden on Sept. 9 issued several executive orders to require that all federal employees and the majority of health care workers get a COVID-19 vaccine. A White House plan also stated that Biden would direct the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to mandate that businesses with 100 or more employees either mandate COVID-19 vaccines, require weekly COVID-19 testing, or be fined.
