Newsmax told its staff Thursday it intended to comply with the Biden administration’s company vaccine mandate, flying in the face of its daily programming attacking the mandate. Newsmax employees—including its anti-mandate hosts—will have to either submit their vaccination card by Jan. 4 or undergo weekly testing, according to a notice obtained by Mediaite. The announcement came the same day the conservative network sidelined White House correspondent Emerald Robinson after she falsely and bizarrely claimed on Twitter that the vaccines contained a luminescent enzyme called “luciferase” that tracked recipients.
In response to the company's mandate, Newsmax host and former Trump adviser Steve Cortes, tweeted on Friday that "I will not comply w/ any organization’s attempt to enforce Biden’s capricious & unscientific Medical Apartheid mandate.I will not be forced into the injection, nor will I disclose my vaccination status. No one should be pressured to choose between medical privacy & their job."
