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

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…

I’m confused.
Why would they need to to exonerated from law suits if the vax is safe?
And why would employers only jab their employees with a safe vax if they are safe from lawsuits?
It’s almost like they don’t trust the vax.
And it almost sounds like they don’t give a crap about their employees?

If someone close to me was forced to get the jab to keep their job and they died a lawsuit would be the last thing the boss should worry about.

“The Houston Methodist Hospital network is mandating vaccines for both existing employees and new hires, barring an exemption,” announced Chip Cutter from The Wall Street Journal about the scheme. “Those who fail to comply will at first be suspended without pay, and later terminated.”

I am surprised that hospitals are doing this.

Most hospitals in my area are short staffed already and have expensive contract employees filling in on an almost daily bases. Hospitals in the area are offering generous sign-on bonuses and people are quitting because of the high stress workload.

Can they really afford to throw more wood on the conflagration that is their employee’s morale?

“Exactly. OSHA is not the last word on legal liability, other than in their own regme which is fining employers for violation of OSHA regulation.

And even there, OSHA is not the last word.”

So many people think that OSHA is a workers’ comp governing body. They are, of course, totally separate. All this means is that if an employer requires the “vaccine” and an employee has a negative reaction the employer must include the employee on their OSHA forms, and possibly notify OSHA if the employee is admitted to the hospital or dies. It has nothing to do with paying workers’ comp. Like you said, that will, inevitably, be decided in court.

Disney is trying an end run around this. Many employees were canned during Covid. The company invited some of them to re-apply for their old job, or to apply for a different one. BUT .... they have told them that before they could apply (or re-apply) they had to get the shots. And if one did not have the shots before-hand, they could not apply.
Oh, and just because you have the shots it doesn’t guarantee you will get the job, or any job, or even an interview.
Clever bastards, huh? The skunks are disgusting.

This is not a bombshell. It’s the law. Anytime your employer demands you do anything as a condition of employment, they are liable for any resultant injury. It’s been the law for over 100 years.

Exactly! Can’t get sued if you had the Vaxx going in.

This is basically a tacit admission that COVID Vaccines are really death shots!

Probably because the OSHA changed it.

Excellent question !

Cboldt, your thoughts on qaz123’s comment?

Hilarious.

The government isn’t liable.

The manufacturer of these experimental drugs isn’t liable.

Employers are the only ones on the hook for anything.

LOL

I see Disney’s attempt to shield themselves from liability, but by stating that one of the requirements of even applying for the job is to get the jab, then anyone who is hired following the implementation of that policy would be treated as if the vaccine was a condition of employment and thereby making Disney liable for any adverse effects following their hire date.

It’s an end around that a competent workers compensation attorney can pretty easily get past.

It is a condition of employment. Period. The adverse effects would be work related.
