Des Moines, Iowa — Republican Governor Kim Reynolds says she will join legal efforts to stop the Biden Administration’s COVID vaccination rule for large employers.
Businesses with more than 100 employees face fines if workers are not vaccinated by January 4th or regularly tested for COVID if they’re unvaccinated. Reynolds says it forces Iowans and Americans to choose between making a living or standing up for their personal beliefs. Iowa Democratic Party chairman Ross Wilburn says vaccination requirements are nothing new when it comes to public health.
Iowa GOP chairman Jeff Kaufmann says it’s authoritarian to mandate COVID vaccinations. Some small business owners say they’re not sure if they fall within the new requirement if they own more than one business and the payroll for all their different work sites exceeds 100 employees.
