Hosts Did Not Use 'Mandates' At Their Thanksgiving Meal

Most Thanksgiving hosts did not require their guests to be vaccinated or even wear masks before sitting down for a festive Thanksgiving dinner this year, as portrayed by a Hill-HarrisX poll.

According to the poll, 65 percent of respondents said they were requiring neither masks nor vaccinations from their guests.

Still, 11% insisted they were requiring both, with 21% demanding only vaccinations and 4% requiring masks.

Among Republicans, 78% said they were not requiring masks or vaccines. That number for Democrats was 47%.

Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, told Newsmax that he agreed.

"The question is, what do you do with unvaccinated relatives?" Jha said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "A lot of people have them. I have some, there are ways of still getting together with unvaccinated relatives and doing it safely, but you do have to add a little protection like testing."

In his first-holiday message as president, Biden and the first lady, Jill Biden, said this year’s celebrations were especially meaningful after last year’s family separations due to the pandemic.

“This is always a special time in America. But this year, the blessings of Thanksgiving are especially meaningful,” the president said in a prerecorded video message released by the White House.

“As we give thanks for what we have, we also keep in our hearts those who we lost and those who have lost so much. And those who have an empty seat at their kitchen table or their dining room table this year because of this virus or another cruel twist of fate or accident. We pray for them,” the president expressed.
