The Occupational Safety and Health Administration suspended the implementation and enforcement of Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses.
The announcement came shortly after a U.S. appeals court rejected a Biden administration challenge and reaffirmed its decision to put the mandate on hold, the Epoch Times reports.
As previously reported by Human Events News, as of January 4, 2022, all employers with more than 100 employees were supposed to mandate vaccines for their employees.
Indeed, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans stated in an opinion that the mandate is “staggeringly overbroad,” and ordered it to “take no steps to implement or enforce the mandate until further court order.”
The Labor Department confirmed the ruling in a statement: “The court ordered that OSHA ‘take no steps to implement or enforce’ the ETS ‘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.”
