Members of Congress Introduce Legislation to Protect Americans from Biden's Vaccine Mandates

In response to federal vaccine mandates, Republicans in Congress are moving to curb such overreach through legislation. Led by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), 21 members have co-sponsored the Freedom from Mandates Act, which the representative introduced Friday.

The congressman spoke with Henry Rodgers and Michael Ginsberg of The Daily Caller about his legislation.

"The federal government may not force the American people to get a vaccine against their will. President Biden’s continued attempts to trample on the rights and liberties of Americans must not be tolerated. His vaccine mandates are just another example of using fear and division to pit Americans against each other and maintain his control. The American people must be allowed to make their own health care decisions. It is their right," Biggs said.

The bill will nullify President Biden's executive orders mandating vaccines for federal employees and contractors. The text also reads that "The Secretary of Labor may not issue any rule requiring employers to mandate vaccination of employees against COVID–19 or requiring testing of employees who are unvaccinated against COVID–19."

Any such law will be ignored.

We are beyond fixing this with laws, we have a lawless group ruling this county and they will only be removed by force.

They will simply ignore any laws or other attempts to rein them in.

The normal checks and balances are gone, people. Our system only works when elected people respect and follow the system.

Unlike some of you, I would not mind OSHA requiring periodic testing for COVID-19, with two caveats: the test must be scientifically shown to keep fall negatives and false positives below a certain percentage — 1 percent should be possible — and that such testing must apply to everyone, without exception. That includes all Federal workplaces, including the House and Senate chambers and offices.

The test kits are flawed and cannot tell the difference between covid, influenza A and influenza B.

There was supposedly a vote in the house Friday on an amendment to NDAA that prohibited dishonorable discharge of active military for those refusing the experimental clot shots.

As far as I can tell the entire matter disappeared right down the fake news hole.

Yup. And they will get a lot of folks who go for it out of desperation, as they can’t keep.their families fed, or warm during cold winter days. People,starving as stores are ransacked and emptied as folks panic (look at how fast store shelves emptied out during the pandemic, now imagine if folks are denied shopping privileges because they don’t have the mark. They will get so desperate that they read in en mass and overrun the stores and empty them. The government will allow it as they Wil, have their own heavily guarded stores with ample supplies, BUT, you can’t get any unless you have the mark and swear allegiance to the antichrist.

I imagine troops will scour the countrysides, and rural neighboorhoods too, looking for people ‘growing and raising food illegally’. Heck, they will evens gaslight and brainwash the masses that they will turn their neighbors in for ‘extra rations’ for ratting on ‘radicals’.

I,sure hope that the rapture comes before all this takes place.

Careful with that suggestion. Some politicians and unelected bureaucrats quite improperly consider social security retirement benefits as an “entitlement”.

Ain’t that the truth! Weve witnessed Such a rapid decline since Obama took office, and too, off the g,over and came out swinging against America. He wouldn’t fight thr enemies, but he sure did fight again America, and our values, and morality and truth etc. It’s so ad what he did that people now think they can be any ‘gender they wish to declare themselves, and society must accept,it or else b3 cancelled now. Lives ruined. Because they refuse to coddle the mentally and spiritually ill In Their delusions and sinful
Practices.

The medics test for everything now; flu a, flu b, strep, SARS 1, and SARS 2 covid.

Two short nose swabs, not the way-back-in-the-sinuses ones.

Been there, done that, first week in September (everything was negative, thank God).

>People,starving as

Or over half the states could follow through with ignoring/defying the mandate (where’s OSHA’s even draft on this? Gone. But it did turn the conversation away from Afghanistan as intended!)

Or people could go about life and not choose to die because of a dementia patient’s ravings.

And what other diseases should OSHA require your employer to test you weekly/daily/hourly for? HIV? TB? Yellow Fever? Hep B? C? A? Chlamydia? Influenza? RSV? Etc? Etc? Etc?

Why certain ones but not others?

Who’s responsible for paying for all this testing? The company, who then has to lower your pay because of all the testing costs you incur? You pay out of pocket? Government - Federal, State, local? Why them?

What about the ChinaVirus is so special it’s the only one the Gov should require testing for?

What part of the Constitution even gives FedGov the power to mess with your health decisions?
