Biden Considers Banning Vaccine to Persuade People to Get It

[Rhiannon12866]

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a new plan designed to combat vaccine hesitancy, President Biden said that he was considering an executive order banning all covid vaccines.

The order would make it illegal to obtain a vaccine except in certain cases and, even then, only after a thorough background check and waiting period.

“We must eliminate the scourge of vaccination once and for all,” Biden said. “Enough is enough.”

News of an impending vaccine ban sent lines at previously deserted vaccination centers snaking around the block, according to reports.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took to the floor of the House to excoriate the ban, calling it a “classic case of government overreach that shows the fingerprints of George Soros and the Rothschilds.”

“First, they came for my vaccines,” she warned.

2. I think he should start a rumor among the "Qs" that in six weeks, the allotment of vaccines

appropriated to those who refuse will be shipped to Africa or areas of South America/Asia with desperate need for vaccines. THEIR doses! To black and brown people in foreign countries!

4. They should definitely put a time limit on it, that usually works when it comes to most offers!

The largest vaccine site in my area, the one in the old Sears store at the local mall which now takes walk-ins, is apparently closing at the end of the month! When I took my brother there for Pfizer shot #2 back in May, I noticed young teens there with their Moms getting their shots. This site is also pretty close to the school, so I was hoping that more school-age kids would be getting vaccinated there before school starts in September... But now they're only giving the J&J since they won't be open for a second shot. *sigh*

3. One time I heard Pres. Obama suggest doing that.

I forget what it was in reference to, but he said that he considered telling people to do the opposite of what he really wanted them to do.

8. Just as with Obama, if Biden suggests it, this is likely to work with the Republicans...

10. In this lifetime, we've never had such an obstructive gang in Congress

So I think you're right!
