Biden predicts more COVID restrictions as CDC head causes vax mandate confusion

New York Post

President Biden said Friday that Americans can โ€œin all probabilityโ€ expect to face more restrictions due to an increase in COVID-19 cases caused by the Delta variant, as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the White House was โ€œlooking intoโ€ mandating the vaccines before later insisting otherwise.

As Biden left the White House to fly to Camp David, he was asked by CBS News if he expected more mandates to be imposed.

โ€œIn all probability,โ€ Biden responded. โ€œBy the way, we had a good day yesterday. Almost a million people got vaccinated, about half a million of those people for the first time or for their second shot. So I am hopeful that people are beginning to realize how essential it is to move.โ€

Biden did not elaborate on the nature of any new restrictions, or whether they would be imposed by the federal government or by state and local officials. His statement capped a chaotic week of contradictory messages from the White House about the possibility of federal vaccine mandates and the implementation of new lockdowns.

Moments later, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told Fox News that the administration was examining the possibility of a federal vaccine mandate.

โ€œThatโ€™s something that I think the administration is looking into. Itโ€™s something that I think weโ€™re looking to see approval of from the vaccine,โ€ Walensky replied.

โ€œOverall, I think in general, I am all for more vaccination,โ€ she added. โ€œBut I have nothing further to say on that except that we are looking into those policies.โ€

Less than an hour after the interview, Walensky responded to a CNBC reporter by tweeting: โ€œTo clarify: There will be no nationwide mandate. I was referring to mandates by private institutions and portions of the federal government. There will be no federal mandate.โ€
