A new Emergency Temporary Standard from OSHA requires strict adherence to PPE requirements, and OSHA encourages employees to report their employer if violations are observed. Fines can be more than $136,000 per occurrence, but fully “vaccinated” employees with a Covid-shot are exempt from having to wear the PPE in non-Covid areas. Some doctors are saying that rather than risk the fines, it is easier for hospitals to mandate “vaccines” for all employees, contractors, and vendors.
The dates of issuance for these orders lend credence to this hypothesis. OSHA officially started its new Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on July 6. Idaho’s three largest healthcare systems issued their employee “vaccine” mandates on July 8. All employees, contractors, and vendors must be “vaccinated” by Sept. 1 or be fired.
The Catalyst: Biden’s Executive Order
OSHA started working on the ETS as a result of Joe Biden’s executive order of Jan. 21, 2021, directing OSHA to do more to protect workers from Covid-19. Some legal minds are questioning the authority of this action. A President’s executive orders are supposed to manage the operations of the federal government, not create new rules for the people or for businesses.
Therefore, by OSHA issuing its ETS, the structure of our Republic is at risk. Congress is supposed to create laws, the Executive branch is supposed to execute them. With the ETS, the Executive branch directed an Executive branch agency to create rules for private employers. This is the kind of behavior we’d expect to see in a dictatorship – not a country that has three separate and distinct branches of government, each with their own boundaries and responsibilities.

TLDR the OSHA diktats. Which type of PPE? If it’s just a face jock-strap, it’s a pain, but worth a paycheck. If it’s an N-95, it’s curtains.
WTF is wrong with society? I was at my cardiologists yesterday. Over 62,000 patients in the practice. I asked the screening gal at the front door lobby entrance how many people had a fever with Covid in the past 18 months? She replied ZERO!
Forget about "Big Tech" or China.
The greatest threat to our freedom, safety, and wellbeing is our own totalitarian federal government.
A little off subject-—If a person dies from the vaccine shot and that person just happened to have RECENTLY purchased a million dollar life insurance policy. Any problems?
No, the fines go to the employer, and employees are encouraged to (anonymously even) rat out any non-compliance.
Hospitals are businesses. Rather than risk crippling fines due to employee’s non-compliance with PPE regulations, it’s just simpler to mandate the vax for employees.
That’s the trick. using the existing OSHA apparatus to coerce the private sector to effect their preferred policies.
Makes it insidiously difficult to fight back.
this is the first I’ve heard about OSHA being involved, and it makes sense. All the large hospitals in my home town recently mandated vaccines for all employees by September 1st. Knowing that many of their employees would gladly report violations to OSHA, they made the only decision they could under the circumstances. I hope someone takes a stand against this, although I’m not holding my breath.
OSHA, another useless government agency that needs to be dismantled. They lost any credibility when they stayed silent on the known dangers and risks of masking people.
Just for kicks....start listening to the Federalist Papers podcast.
The arguments for a strong central government have been out there since the beginning.

Extortion, bribery and threats of closure are effective (and corrupt) tools, just ask the mob.
Working with facility design and construction department of a large university hospital complex, they have mandated vaccines for employees but have held off on vendors and contractors. I think the dirty little secret is that with the overwhelming majority of hispanic worker bees on the contractor payrolls, work would come to a screeching halt.
Possibly starting with President Thomas Jefferson, he, and several Supreme Court justices, had indicated that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate peacetime policy for INTRAstate healthcare, including dictating intrastate quarantine policy.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.
”State inspection laws, health laws [emphasis added], and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation, though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, it can be argued that non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined federal regulatory agencies like FDA and OSHA, I'll also mention DHS and CDC, are unconstitutionally dictating 10th Amendment-protected state policy concerning CV19 issues, violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment by doing so imo, and need to be removed from office imo.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [emphases added], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Patriots need to stop the unconstitutionally big federal government in its tracks by doing the following.
Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.
Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, but also an amendment to clean up the judiciary.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Despite the fact that the vaccines are proving to be very short lived in protection and increasingly ineffective against the latest mutational strains of the virus .
They are marginally effective against the Delta variant and largely ineffective against the the emerging Lambda and succeeding variants.
On the other hand , they have documented serious side effects to the vaccines , some fatal and or permanently debilitating, and the very real possibility of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). ADE actually makes it easier to become infected with covid and much sicker when when an infection is acquired
For the 40+ million people who have already had covid - the vaccinations have a 2-4x probability of serious side effects or serious allergic reaction to the vaccine. There is evidence that the vaccines may destroy or weaken the strong natural immunity conferred by recovery from the virus.
Amazingly, the preventative use of Ivermectin shows a 60-75% effectiveness at preventing the infection of the virus that is independent of the variant and this drug seems to be effective against strains of the virus that the vaccines do not protect against.
The real world , in the field, effectiveness of the vaccines seems to quickly drop to 50% after 4-6 months and may be close to 0% for new strains such a Lambda.
There is something very wrong, and perhaps sinister, with our emerging government policy
