Vaccine mandate for federal workers blocked by 2nd court
A federal appeals court has declined, for now, to allow the Biden administration to require COVID-19 vaccinations for federal employees.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled 2-1 Wednesday to maintain a block on the mandate that a Texas-based federal judge had issued on Jan. 21. The administration had asked the New Orleans court for an injunction allowing the federal worker mandate to move forward pending appeal.

My little branch of dot-gov is following that court order so far, except that they're requiring us non-vaxxed heathen to test once a week. But it's self-reporting, so it really isn't a major burden. Plus, so far, they're supplying the tests.
I do use my own Q-tips through. Not sure what kind of shenanigans are involved with the nasal swabs provided in the test kits.
