Executive Order Issued Formally Repealing Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate

President Biden has issued the anticipated Executive Order formally rescinding the COVID vaccine mandate for federal employees and contractors.

The White House had announced previously that the federal employee vaccine mandate would be ending at the end of the day on May 11, 2023 in conjunction with the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration.

The Biden administration announced the end of the COVID vaccine mandate for federal employees as of the end of the day on May 11, 2023

The Biden administration also announced at the same time that an Executive Order would be forthcoming which formally ended the vaccine mandate. With the issuance of the Executive Order, the COVID vaccine mandate for federal employees will end on May 12, 2023 at 12:01 AM EST.

Biden said in a statement issued on February 10, 2023 that he planned to end the COVID national emergency on May 11, 2023:

The timing of the end of the vaccine mandate is based on this previously planned end of the national emergency declaration.

According to the Biden administration, vaccine mandates will remain in place for many federal employees at the National Institutes of Health, Indian Health Service and Department of Veterans Affairs while those agencies review their own requirements going forward. These agencies implemented their own vaccination requirements for healthcare staff and others separate from the mandate issued by Biden.

The military has ended its COVID vaccine mandate for service members. That was rescinded as part of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.

At the same time the Executive Order was issued revoking the COVID vaccine mandate for federal employees, Biden also issued an Executive Order revoking the COVID vaccination requirement for air travel.

Controversy of the Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate

From the moment it was issued, the COVID vaccine mandate was a highly controversial issue. Articles posted on FedSmith generated hundreds of comments with strong opinions on both sides of the issue. Even as the pandemic has dissipated, it continues to remain an emotionally charged issue.

Federal employees were given until November 22, 2021 to get vaccinated or faced disciplinary actions including possibly being fired. The COVID mandate also applied to teleworking federal employees.

Legal battles ensued, and a court eventually issued an injunction blocking enforcement of the mandate. That was still in effect when the Executive Order terminating the mandate was issued.

Even after the injunction was issued, the Biden administration continued to fight the ruling in court and had some success on appeal of the decision.

Presumably, all enforcement efforts by the administration will now cease. The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force will be issuing updated guidance for agencies on how to proceed with the new Executive Order in place.

True.But you have to have a prosecutor. That is why the perpetrators of said crimes know they are safe. That is why Hillary Clinton knows she is safe also.

Same here, except I didn’t catch Covid. My general MD from over 20 yrs. ago indicated eating red onions twice weekly would prevent me from getting sick. However, he caveated it by adding I needed to taste a little burn from the onion. When I asked him why red onions, vs. white/yellow, he only responded by wishing he could’ve done the research and discern the chemical differences, but it’s worked for his patient’s, to include me.

Try it in a salad, or in a pulled pork sandwich, topped with coleslaw, or add a generous amount of diced onions to mac n cheese AFTER it’s finished cooking. I also like a fried bologna sandwich from time-to-time, but I’m trying to limit my sodium intake.

I also try to get 100% of the daily suggested Vit C RDA, since I’m in a high-risk category. I’m glad you made it through Covid, and hope there’s no long-term effects. Stay safe, fellow Freeper.

The old perps are safe.

We will have plenty of time to prosecute younger perps.

You don’t “get” your civil rights. They are innate in you because God made them part of you.

And when someone infringes upon your rights you seek redress in the courts or you kill the bastards.

Preferably trying the court thing first.

It might have prevented pneumonia if you took the shot. I took three shots and a lot of Americans took them which reduced the severity of the infection.

That's good for you honestly. Now let's talk about the attack on people's sovereignty that took place over the last several years (and is still going on in other arenas). And when we are done with that, we can talk about the medical malfeasance that took place across the entire medical community. Once we hash out those problems, I've got a laundry list of things we can discuss concerning this shameful period in our nation's history.

I was laid off from an IT Infrastructure job last August. It took me 160 applications and seven months to get a new job. About 15% of the positions I was qualified for require shots in the job description. Of my 160 applications, over a dozen besides those 15% brought up the shots AFTER a 45 minute conversation, ending with me suggesting that this should be their FIRST question, not the last. Dozens of others asked me for my shot status, and when I had an Indian on the other end (80% of the time), they seemed to be perplexed that it was a big deal to me.

Here is part of what is going on. The contracting firms that constitute a majority of my job opportunities don't like red flags. So, they want certifications, a claim of experience with certain equipment/programs/topologies, citizenship, and shots for those contracts that have fed customers, which is a MUCH larger group than the fed all by itself. It was easier at first for the big private companies to just require shots so as to not jeopardize Fed contracts, pretending that they were fully on-board. For some of those requests for a shot, my HARD push back actually got some of the contracting firms to relent and say it wasn't strictly necessary. Some of them wanted my reason.

But, I still didn't get an offer for months. I don't doubt that my lay-off would have been shorter without the EO in the first place. This is a welcome development for people like me.

It might have prevented pneumonia if you took the shot.

Then again, it might not have.

My son is early in his career as a contract engineer at NASA. He held out and played their stupid games.

My son is also early in his career as a contract engineer at NASA. He caved. I wish he had held out.

[Jane Long]

Exactly.

And, congrats, to you, for holding out....for a level headed employer. Best of luck on your new job.

[SaveFerris]

It was stupid to begin with

[Dandy]

I was one of those outlaws..superspreaders. I never stayed locked in. I went about my business.. Shopped for lots of my neighbors and delivered to their porch. I got real sick for 2 days in Feb 2020. I got well and have never been sick since. I have been exposed several times and never go sick after that first time. I am so glad that I grew up challenging everything out there. Life has been great.

[Rural_Michigan]

So who pays for filtering my blood to remove this sludge?

I hate the government.

[cyclotic]

That’s too bad he caved but understandable. As hard as they work to earn the degree the pressure had to be tremendous.

[The Duke]

Why we seen to be cut from the same cloth. I should have ridden with Nathan Bedford.

[Jim Noble]

All I can say is F*CK YOU BIDEN, and Damn You to Hell!!

What's wrong with you?

You don't seriously think that poor old man living in the White House has anything to do with Federal policy on anything, do you?

Any ounce of thought or energy spent on Biden would be better spent on WHO is running the country, WHERE they are running it from, and HOW to expose them.

Leave that poor old man alone.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I guess FU Biden has murdered and maimed the number of federal employees that they and the WEF, Soros, Fauci, Gates, et al. wanted.

[OHPatriot]

Biden and his ENTIRE administration can Go To Hell!

FJB. Yea, he is such a a good Catholic that he supports abortion, is a pervert, sexual deviant, pedophile, plagiarist, and a liar. Poor Old Man???? As long as that POS can scribble his name, he can do serious damage with EVERY EO he signs. Poor Old Man My Lilly White Ass!!!!

[meyer]

Good to know. Though I got the religious exemption, I would have left before I took that poisonous jab.

Anything that the government pushes is bad. Trust is gone.

[stars & stripes forever]

Tell your fellow workers who took the jab about this supplement. Helped a family member of mine.
