“Joe Biden needs to make the tough choice right now, and he needs to start in his own political backyard,” Scarborough said. “He needs to tell the teachers’ union that he’s going to require every public health care person to get it, but also… every public school teacher needs to be vaccinated.”
Teacher’s unions have been vocal in expressing their concerns about the public health risks from schools and Covid-19, which Scarborough cited. “If you remember last year, they kept saying, we can’t go back to school, earlier this year, we can’t go back to school until we’re all vaccinated.”
“The president of the United States needs to say, ‘if you are a public school teacher or you teach at a public university, as a condition of your job you have to get vaccinated,’” Scarborough said. “We are not closing school this fall. Children will not be staying at home this fall looking at zoom classes. They’re going to be in (school) because their teachers are going to be vaccinated.”
