WASHINGTON The Supreme Courts rejection Thursday of a federal vaccination requirement for most workers stripped away President Joe Biden's most effective tool in increasing vaccination rates, which experts say are nowhere close to what's needed for a return to normalcy.
Biden has made vaccines the centerpiece of his COVID-19 strategy, so what does the White House do next?
Biden himself suggested it is now up to states and businesses to ramp up the nation's vaccination rates, while he remains on the sidelines as cheerleader in chief.
The court has ruled that my administration cannot use the authority granted to it by Congress to require this measure, Biden said in a statement, but that does not stop me from using my voice as president to advocate for employers to do the right thing to protect Americans health and economy.
Others, however, say the president does have more options, including requiring vaccinations for domestic air travel and crafting a more narrowly targeted workplace rule.
Labor Department Secretary Marty Walsh said in a statement the agency will be evaluating all options to ensure workers are protected from this deadly virus.
