Despite calls by the President for private businesses to continue implementing and requiring proof of vaccination from their employees in the face of a Supreme Court decision striking down his vaccine mandate, one large liberal-leaning company has decided to buck the trend, so to speak.

Starbucks announced on Wednesday that it will scrap its vaccine mandate and Covid testing requirements following the Supreme Court decision last week, a move that flies directly in the face of President Biden’s plea to private businesses.

In a statement, Starbucks said it was simply complying with the Supreme Court ruling, though the company could have kept its own internal mandate, it chose to scrap the requirement entirely:
"Starbucks is no longer requiring its U.S. workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, reversing a plan it announced earlier this month.

In a memo sent Tuesday to employees, the Seattle coffee giant said it was responding to last week’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. In a 6-3 vote, the court rejected the Biden administration’s plan to require vaccines or regular COVID testing at companies with more than 100 workers."
