BREAKING: OSHA suspends Biden’s vaccine mandate rule

by The Right Scoop

Over the weekend we told you that the 5th Circuit reaffirmed its block on Biden’s vaccine mandate rule after the White House told people to continue complying with it. Now OSHA has acknowledged on its website that they have suspended the rule:

 
Here’s more from National Law Review:

On Nov. 16, 2021, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced it is suspending all implementation and enforcement efforts related to the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination and testing in the workplace. The announcement follows the Nov. 12, 2021 order from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals staying enforcement of the ETS pending a final ruling on its legality. OSHA intends to resume implementation and enforcement of the ETS following litigation, if permitted. This newly stated position immediately impacts employers with 100 or more employees who are not federal contractors or otherwise subject to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ guidance. Such employers can breathe easier, as they are no longer faced with Dec. 5, 2021 and Jan. 4, 2022 compliance deadlines associated with implementing a vaccine mandate or weekly testing program.

This is great news and I’m glad OSHA has finally complied with the courts. If Trump had to do it, then Biden must as well.

However, the rule forcing federal contractors to get the jab must also be blocked and I hope that comes soon.
