Former Virginia governor and Democratic nominee for the 2021 gubernatorial election Terry McAuliffe said Monday that employers should mandate vaccines, just days after he said he wanted mandates to “make life difficult” for unvaccinated people.

McAuliffe spoke at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society on Aug. 16, saying, “I tell my private businesses all the time, ‘I hope you mandate vaccines for people coming in.'”
