OSHA drops BOMBSHELL: Employers who mandate covid vaccines may be held liable for “any adverse reaction”
Dr Eddy, MD ^ | 05/20/2021

Posted on 08/27/2021 10:51:57 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is warning employers that they will be held liable for any adverse events resulting from mandatory Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination” policies.

If an employee who was forced to be injected with experimental mRNA gene therapy becomes paralyzed or dies, for instance, that injury or death will be considered “work-related,” meaning the employer will be held responsible.

In the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of a new OSHA guidance that was issued on April 20, the agency explains that all employers who mandate experimental Chinese Virus shots are required to record any adverse events that result from the injections.

In response to the question, “If I require my employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of their employment, are adverse reactions to the vaccine recordable?” this is what OSHA says:

“If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.”

What this means is that employers who try to force their employees to get injected are opening themselves up to lawsuits, worker’s compensation claims and a negatively impacted safety record. Tread at your own risk, employers…

This is dated May 20.

I thought they reversed this position a few days later.

The deck is always stacked and the House can never lose. There was this loophole. It was discovered. It was closed. We're out of luck.

But whether it’s last word or first word, I would bet the risk departments might feel a little panicky about this.

Well, it would be a Workman’s Compensation claim, wouldn’t it? There goes Workman’s Comp insurance rates.

Gee, thanks Biden!

In the longer term, employers could be sued into oblivion.

I would imagine this falls into the same realm as the CDC and the rent moratorium. Do they have the authority to issue such guidance?

For the love of God, I certainly hope they are held liable, and that this scares employers from demanding such an outrageous thing in the first place. And how about liability for anybody anywhere who uses any kind of cohersion including vaccine passports or other discrimination?

Had a talk with my VA doc about vaccines this morning. He is pro-vax. Went thru and drew me a diagram on how they work versus natural immunity, showed me deaths from Covid in age groups, talked to me about the small side effects of all vaccines and medicines, et cetera.
I told him that I understand short term side effects, but what about long term? We don’t know those yet. So I’ll wait, I’m still under 50 so I’ll be fine.
He couldn’t counter that.
It was a good talk, and of course he wanted me to get the Vax.

OSHA reversed this rule a month ago.

Thank you TexasGurl24. It looks like OSHA caved…

OSHA already has reversed itself. In fact, they did it two weeks after their initial guidance:

They were just setting out how THEIR operation proposed to account for incidents assigned to mandatory conditions.

It’s a messy accounting no matter what. Plenty of people prefer to be jabbed, gives them comfort. In that case it’s noit fair to assign responsibility to the employer - even if it’s little more than a book keeping entry.

They “fixed” this not too long ago if I remember right. Can’t have any outs.

Congress may have included immunity for employers in the PREP Act.

If so, they should rename that the PERP Act.

I kind of figured this article was misleading. According to the article at LifeSite:

The question asks whether an employer who mandates employees receive these experimental COVID-19 shots is required to record any adverse events as a result of these injections. Such recording requirements of serious work-related injuries and illness may not only leave an employer vulnerable to worker’s compensation claims, but such incidents could also impact the employer’s safety record.

The question and answer in full:

If I require my employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of their employment, are adverse reactions to the vaccine recordable?

If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.

Thing is, I couldn't find that question and answer anywhere on the OSHA website.

This shouldn’t come as a shock, I’ve been saying that since the beginning. If the vaccine producers are not liable, then who is? The entity requiring that people take the vaccine. Typically employers. It’s their own damn fault!

Really, wow, So now nobody is liable. Just like I don’t buy something that has a short warranty because that means the manufacturer doesn’t think much of their product, why take a vaccine when nobody wants to be liable for the consequences.

He's a salesman who works on commission.

This sounds like a revenue stream for Sharpton and Ben Crump.

Employers never carried much risk. It only made the worker eligible to file for “Workers Compensation Insurance”. The companies/agencies paying out Workers Comp have deep pockets. Good luck proving your “injury” was directly related to the vaccine.
