Update, 11:30 Am Pt: Walt Disney Co. CEO Bob Chapek joined with other business leaders at the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden on vaccine mandates.
Although representatives from Fox were not present, Biden again called out the company for instituting its own vaccine guidelines, including disclosure of their vaccine status or submitting to daily testing.
Biden said that it will “take a little bit” for the Labor Department, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to put a regulation in place mandating that businesses with 100 or more employees ensure that their workforce is vaccinated or that they go through regular Covid testing.
“The vaccine requirements work, and more companies are instituting them,” Biden said, according to a pool report. “Even Fox News is requiring it. I am not being facetious when I say that, but it’s interesting that they’ve stepped forward and done that as well.
