OSHA Suspends Enforcement of Vaccine Mandate as Case Heads to 6th Circuit

Five days after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a stay of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a statement complying with the order.

This decision comes as yet another temporary breath of relief for thousands of American workers facing a stark decision – get vaxxed or get lost.

Whistleblower Provides Document Exposing the FBI’s Use of Counterterrorism Tools to Investigate Parents

On September 29, a left-wing special interest group, the National School Boards Association (NSBA), sent a letter (now removed from their website) to the White House that labeled concerned parents as perpetrators of hate crimes and potential domestic terrorists and urged the Justice Department to use federal tools – including the Patriot Act – to target them.

The Fifth Circuit doubles down on its stay of OSHA’s vaccine mandate. But relief may only be temporary.

This past Friday, the Fifth Circuit reaffirmed its initial stay of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate which was issued via an emergency temporary standard (ETS) by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on November 5, 2021.

The mandate would require citizens who work at businesses with 100 plus employees to vaccinate against Covid-19 or undergo weekly tests (at their own expense) and wear masks. In an opinion, available on the 5th Circuit’s website, the Court found that the mandate was “staggeringly overbroad.”
