On the 13th episode of Current Events, Al covers an important legal issue regarding COVID-19 vaccines at big businesses in the United States. Over the past few months President Biden has been trying to push through a mandate. This mandate would require American businesses with over 100 employees to force their workers to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or be tested every week. In this episode of Current Events, we take a look at two articles about the recent Supreme Court ruling dealing with President Biden's Vaccine policy. Will the mandate go through? Or will it be stopped by the Supreme Court? Here are the key vocabulary:

mandate

to suspend

federal funding

Legislative Branch

Judicial Branch
