One month after the Biden administration announced a draconian federal vaccine mandate that impacted an estimated 100 million Americans and led to mass firings of public servants, teachers, and medical workers, the federal regulation still has not been formally issued.
The Federalist reported . . in a post on Thursday that noted, “Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist. It’s Just A Press Release”:
Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.
That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.
According to several sources, so far it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements.
Despite what you may have been . . . led to believe by the media, . . . press statements have exactly zero legal authority.
“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told The Federalist’s Joy Pullman on Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,”. When the state agency gets any further information, she said, they’ll review it.”

He does have some mandates though. One where the folks it’s imposed on don’t really have any say in the matter. The military and the low level, general federal employee.
Look at how many entities be exempted.
Force it down the throats of the folks that can’t fight back. Everyone else gets a pass.
And of course, we’re now treated to reports of some Congressional staffers and families using ivermectin, etc. who knows?

Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist
Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist. It’s Just A Press Release:
Americans are no longer living under representative government. We are living under government by the screen people, of the screen people, for the screen people.
Joy Pullmann: OCTOBER 7, 2021
Yes, we’ve heard all about Joe Biden’s alleged vaccine mandate for private companies employing 100 or more people. It was all over the news even before he announced it on September 9. His announcement has jeopardized the employment of millions of Americans and increased worker shortages in critical domains such as health care.
There’s only one problem. It’s all a mirage. Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference and other such made-for-media huff-puffing. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.
That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.
According to several sources, so far it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements.
Despite what you may have been falsely led to believe by the media fantasy projection machine, press statements have exactly zero legal authority.
“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told me Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,” she also said. When the state agency gets any further information, she said, they’ll review it.
To impose the public perception of a mandate, the Biden administration is following an unusual rule-making process it also employed earlier this year, called an emergency temporary standard (ETS). The spring ETS rule took nearly six months to issue. Meanwhile, companies are telling reporters their vaccine mandates will have at the latest December deadlines. (For those who can’t calendar, that’s four months after Biden’s non-existent mandate was proclaimed. According to OSHA, an ETS takes up to six months to go into effect after the initial mandate is issued in the Federal Register — which, again, for the proclaimed 100-employee mandate hasn’t happened yet.)
Lawyers for big business were blunt about their love for this mandate mirage: “Everybody loves this cover,” Minneapolis employment lawyer Kate Bischoff told Bloomberg Law in September. “Many were already looking down the road at doing this, but the fact that they get to blame Biden is like manna from heaven.”
Using the ETS procedure instead of normal federal rule-making processes both allows the Biden administration to push its demands faster and without any public input or requirement of responding to public input, which is normally required of even legally laughable federal rule-making like this one would be. That is part of why ETS rules have been overwhelmingly overturned in courts.
“OSHA has used that legal authority only 10 times in 50 years,” David Rivkin Jr. and Robert Alt wrote in the Wall Street Journal in September. “Courts have decided challenges to six of those standards, nixing five and upholding only one.”
There are many other reasons any federal vaccine mandate would be obviously illegal and unconstitutional, Rivkin and Alt write, including that “The states have plenary police power to regulate health and safety. Congress has only those limited powers enumerated in the Constitution. That wouldn’t include the authority to impose a $155 fine (today’s equivalent of the $5 at stake in Jacobson) on an individual who declines to be vaccinated, much less to prevent him from earning a livelihood.”
But who needs the Constitution when you have an American people conditioned for compliance with even wildly outlandish things the screen people insist they must think and do?
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal published a letter from Bruce Atkinson making several excellent observations about the nonexistent mandate, including the following:
The mandate’s nonexistence shields the Biden administration from legal challenges that may ultimately restrict the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s authority. Yet the mandate is still effective at compelling industries and companies into compliance, as it leaves room for any eventual issuance to target noncompliant entities. This implied cudgel is particularly effective on industries and companies that are dependent on federal spending or the goodwill of federal regulators. The nonexistent mandate also allows so-inclined state and local governments and companies to issue their own mandates, seemingly in lockstep with Washington.
The Biden White House has been well-served by presenting a nonexistent mandate as a done deal.
Now, let me see, what presidential administration does all this remind you of? Why, that of Mr. “Pen and Phone” himself, Barack Obama.
His also wildly unconstitutional Deferred Action for Child Arrivals was simply a two-page memo, for example, but it is still allowing some 616,000 people to simply ignore major U.S. laws, and could easily be reinstated by courts as litigation continues nearly a decade later. It seems that, given such unchecked gains from openly lawless actions Democrats have turned into standard operating procedure over the years, Joe Biden feels free to reduce that constitutional contempt to simply a phone now.
What this “government by press release” also allows is for Republicans like Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb to complain about Biden’s tyranny while using zip, nada, zilch of their elected authority to stop it. Holcomb has used the same executive rule-by-decree throughout the lockdown era without effective restraint by a super majority-Republican state legislature, even telling the press churches were required to deliver Christ’s Body and Blood his way while quietly keeping that part out of his executive orders, surely because government dictating religious exercise is obviously unconstitutional and would quickly have generated lawsuits.
All this allows weak Republicans and evil Democrats to shadowbox each other for the cameras while ordinary Americans suffer under their abdicated leadership. By the time Republican attorneys general get around to filing lawsuits over any eventually issued legal documents that fulfill Biden’s promises, the vast majority of people not wanting government to force them into medical procedures will likely be unemployed, forcibly injected with treatments that have almost no track record, forced from their education paths, provided with fake documents like these citizens are beneath COVID-rule-exempt illegal aliens, and all the rest.
This is how weak Republicans keep letting Democrats go right on gleefully disemboweling our rights just like they have nearly 50 million of the American unborn. Gee, thanks, “public servants.” Tell me another one about how you love American liberties and the Bill of Rights. I’ll believe that when I see you sacrificing anything substantial to fight for them.
What Democrats are doing as Republicans stand down yet again is a moral and constitutional abomination. Not even the fig-leaf pose of a pen signing balderdash-filled documents is needed for today’s Democrats. Whatever they say, you do. You have no rights or say in the matter, no possibility for objecting to even them forcibly injecting things into your own body and the bodies of your children.
These people believe they are royalty, and too many Americans are acting like they’re these losers’ serfs instead of citizens endowed by God with inalienable rights, including the right to consent — through elected representatives, not never-elected dictatorial bureaucrats — to rules that restrict our rights, everyday lives, and human dignity.

“Myunderstanding: If the mandate were ever actually issued, it could be challenged in court. As another mentioned, some corporations figure they got the high-sign already and they’re off to the races, issued or not.”

Yes. Exposing them unecessarily to lawsuits, and causing much harm. Imperative to expose this far and wide and also oppose.
“He doesn’t have to issue a mandate. Everyone but him is acting as if he did. Thousands are being fired. If there is no actual mandate, there is no way to find the “mandate” unconstitutional.
Just like the “approval” for the vax. Never happened, but the media all announced that it did and deliberately hid the truth.”

Right. Exactly. Please disseminate this information, share the article (there is another on WSJ, believe) sound the alarm, as so many do not know or realize this. Thank you.
Without formal issuance, Constitutionalists cannot begin a Court Challenge, but America, Freedom, Liberty and the American Economy are irreparably damaged.
So I think there is a formally issued FEDERAL mandate for armed services, healthcare workers and staff where Medicaid and Medicare payments are given, Federal workers and contractors, and some other Federal agencies. Right? This would be different than that mandate imposed by OSHA on companies of 100 employees or more.
Then you have the local individual company mandates which the Feds are encouraging, so those are just companies doing their own mandates. This whole thing is one big gigantic steaming pile.
Let’s Go Brandon!
I am putting my money on OSHA will issue a workplace mandate.
Perhaps it is taking a month because Xiden’s string pulling fascists believed that with the June 2021 mandate for hospitals, OSHA could easily role something out for all workers. Perhaps the Xiden’s press release was done without consulting OSHA bureaucrats who have to do the work (with their masks on?)? Stoopid people in charge. They should have had the emergency rule ready to go before shooting up Xiden and making him read the teleprompter.
With every passing day, the ability to withstand judicial scrutiny is undermined. If it is a clear and recognizable emergency/danger, just why did it take so long to issue the emergency rulemaking? The answer is the rule has nothing to do with protecting workers’ health. It is being reviewed by teams of lawyers to figure out how it can be written to have a chance of passing even a fake constitutional review, i.e. give something, anything for compromised Roberts, ACB and Kavanaugh side with the givernment and make the unconstitutional, “smell constitutional.”
Yep
Thank you.
Please do continue to spread the information.
Did not get it soon enough to get loved ones to not take the jab. Several are suffering, including 3 who got covid after one in the family got the jab. And now the shot receiver has health and blood clotting issues no one wants to discuss with him as he becomes angry and aggressive when presented with accurate information.
Yes. Let’s Go, Brandon.
And spread this news, this article, this information so that others may have hope that at this time, do not. So that the small business owner who does not know this, can know!
Thank you.
Not 100% true. Various branches of the DoD have issued guidance stating you must be fully vaccinated by November. The Navy is stating you can be dismissed for non compliance. The Army only issued the dates but listed no consequences.
It’s all a game of chicken. Even moreso with this OSHA rule gimmick.
Wait until Thanksgiving season to bait workers throughout America to choose their deplorable politics over their ability to buy Christmas presents for their families. Then issue the rule abruptly and maybe it only lasts a few weeks before it gets stayed by a court, or maybe it lasts six months (hell, maybe it just lasts and lasts and lasts, like DACA did).
The extra testing only helps drive up positive cases and gives additional justification to more government mandates and ostracization of the unvaxxinated, even though by this point Covid should be considered an endemic disease in America just like H1N1, MRSA, etc... and the focus should be on minimizing negative outcomes instead of demonizing the unclean.
There are a LOT of Deep Pockets to file suit against, ALL the Employers that FIRED ANYONE because of this Press Release
Agree, Spread the News!
“Without formal issuance, Constitutionalists cannot begin a Court Challenge, but America, Freedom, Liberty and the American Economy are irreparably damaged.”
