The Biden administration has quietly authorized damages to be settled with coerced vaccine takers if they suffer serious side effects under the still-unissued federal vaccine mandate. The clause was buried deep in documents in a Division of Federal Employees’ Compensation bulletin issued earlier in October.
“On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccination for most Federal employees,” the document states, although the pertinent OSHA regulation has still not been formally issued. “The order directed each agency to implement a program to require COVID-19 vaccination for all of its employees, with exceptions only as required by law.”
“The Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) covers injuries that occur in the performance of duty,” the bulletin goes on. “The FECA does not generally authorize provision of preventive measures such as vaccines and inoculations, and in general, preventive treatment is a responsibility of the employing agency under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7901. However, care can be authorized by OWCP for complications of preventive measures which are provided or sponsored by the agency, such as adverse reaction to prophylactic immunization.”
Interesting development.
One point about that Becker news article:
Fed workers were in an EO, while private companies with 100+ employees were in a press conference statement and emergency document between OMB and White House.
The article conflated the two, saying that there was no fed mandate because the OSHA regulation wasn’t issued yet.
The two are separate.
IF THEY can get damages, why not the general population?
unequal treatment?
“prophylactic immunization.”
And it’s becoming clear that it’s neither prophylactic nor immunization; jabbed people are still getting sick.
yes that is an interesting development
