After the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals over the weekend said it would continue to temporarily block a Biden administration mandate requiring all private businesses with 100 or more workers to require COVID-19 vaccines or weekly testing, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said he believes such a rule would “be a setback.”
“I think it would be a setback for public health,” Murthy told Fox News on Sunday. “What we know very clearly is that when people get vaccinated—and the more people who get vaccinated the quicker we’re able to bring this pandemic to an end—the more lives that we can ultimately save.”
