OSHA was forced to temporarily suspend Biden’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses with 100 employees or more. Last week the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that the administration’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate was “fatally flawed” and ordered that OSHA not enforce the requirement “pending adequate judicial review” of a motion for a permanent injunction.
“The court ordered that OSHA ‘take no steps to implement or enforce’ the ETS [Emergency Temporary Standard] ‘until further court order.’ While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation,” OSHA said.
The 6th Circuit of Appeals has been selected to Review OSHA’s Workplace Vaccine-or-Testing Rule via ping-pong. This could be a bad sign for Biden as the 6th Circuit has twice as many conservatives as liberals.
President Biden announced back in September that the administration was rolling out a rule that would require all private employers with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing for all personnel, a guideline that has the potential to impact nearly 80 million workers. The mandate has been thrashed in litigation and will likely be decided by the Supreme Court.
This is all happening while the CDC admitted that “Fully Vaccinated” Americans are spreading the virus and carrying high viral loads.
