    Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves Criticizes Biden’s Vaccination Policy

    Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves is not happy with the Biden administration for its vaccination policy. Biden has announced a few days back that federal workers, large employers and health care staff will have to take the vaccine. This vaccine mandate has not gone down well with GOP governors who have opposed any kind of mandate since the start of the pandemic. Moreover, Reeves said, “The president very much wants you and everyone else to believe that this is a fight between politicians. The reality is this is an attack by the president on hardworking Americans and hardworking Mississippians who he wants to choose between getting a jab in the arm and their ability to feed their families, and I just believe that is a false choice.”
