Biden Administration Submits Private Employer COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Review
The Epoch Times ^ | 10-12-21 | Zachary Steiber

Posted on 10/12/2021 8:27:14 PM PDT by MNJohnnie

President Joe Biden’s administration on Tuesday submitted a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers for review, the first solid step it’s taken since Biden announced plans for the requirement last month.

Biden said the Department of Labor would develop the mandate, centering around a provision that every company with more than 100 employees would need to receive proof of vaccination from each worker or make them get tested for COVID-19 once a week.

A Department of Labor spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email late Oct. 12 that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an office within the agency, has been working “expeditiously” to develop the mandate, which it described as an “emergency temporary standard.”

Earlier Tuesday, as part of the regulatory review process, the agency “submitted the initial text of the emergency temporary standard to the Office of Management and Budget,” the spokesperson added.

Once the office concludes its review, the mandate will be published in the Federal Register. The public can view it and submit comments about it.

The submission is the first concrete step the administration has taken since Biden made his announcement on Sept. 9, leaving many business owners stunned.

“The bottom line: We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers. We’re going to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across America,” Biden said from the White House.

The White House had said previously it wouldn’t support forcing Americans to carry proof of vaccination but has since ordered federal workers to get a vaccine before announcing a private company mandate.

The mandate has drawn significant pushback, with state-level officials in over half the states promising to fight it once it’s unveiled.

“The reality is, the president of the United States cannot just make up laws. That’s outside of his purview, outside of his constitutional role. The executive branch implements laws … that’s their job,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, said on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” last month.

“That’s not the way the Constitution works, so we are pretty sure what he’s doing will be unconstitutional, if it is what he said when he made the statement. So obviously, that would be for our first line of attack, just to say, ‘Look, you didn’t have the authority to do this,'” he added.

Many companies have expressed displeasure with the prospect of a mandate, though some have indicated support for the pending rule.

The White House has said the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 grants the Department of Labor office the authority to impose a mandate.

“I would say that requiring and mandating for businesses of 100 people or over vaccines is not a small task. That is a big bold proposal idea and something that we want to implement with as much clarity as we can,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Tuesday. “We know there will be questions, even after these rules are put out, we understand that. But that’s why we wanted to take a little bit of time, not too much time, to get it done.”

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
English Standard Version
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Now concerning (A)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our (B)being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,[a] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or (C)alarmed, either (D)by a spirit or a (E)spoken word, or (F)a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that (G)the day of the Lord has come. 3 (H)Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, (I)unless the rebellion comes first, and (J)the man of lawlessness[b] is revealed, (K)the son of destruction,[c] 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, (L)proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For (M)the mystery of lawlessness (N)is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then (O)the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus (P)will kill with (Q)the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by (R)the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan (S)with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for (T)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore (U)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe (V)what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned (W)who did not believe the truth but (X)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If the so-called “vaccine” works, why do the vaccinated fear the unvaccinated?

Well based on this there is going to be a whole lot of wrangling before this rule can even be mandated

From your link:

(c)Emergency temporary standards
(1)The Secretary shall provide, without regard to the requirements of chapter 5 of title 5, for an emergency temporary standard
to take immediate effect upon publication in the Federal Register if he determines (A) that employees are exposed to grave
danger from exposure to substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards, and (B) that
such emergency standard is necessary to protect employees from such danger.

= = = =

Since this is an OSHA regulation, it applies to the workplace. So let's consider people of working age (15-64):

According to the CDC,

https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku/data

as of 10/6/2021, for the time period 01/01/2020 to 10/02/2021,

Age Range COVID DEATHS
15-24 years. 1,542
25-34 years. 6,712
35-44 years. 16,911
45-54 years. 42,626
55-64 years. 96,649

total deaths age 15-64 years: 164,440

That's over 21 months for the whole country.

Or 7830 / month
or 261 / day.

There are
10.69+11.03+11.88+11.57+10.94+10.11+9.87+10.05+10.51+9.98
106.63 million
males


and 10.27+10.56+11.36+11.27+10.89+10.2+10.1+10.34+11.09+10.82
106.9 million
females


or 213.5 million

or (261/213,500,000)x100=0.000122% fatality rate per day among working age people.


About 1/8000th of 1% per day fatality rate.
Did they ALL catch it at work?

...smallpox (in the Jacobson case in Massachusetts in 1905) involved a 30% fatality rate, and a vaccine which had been in use for years.

No forcing into that vax, or losing your job, either.

Just a $5 fine (around $165 today, or a large speeding ticket).

What do you say ? Mandatory untested clot-shot making Moderna and Pfizer tens of billions of $$$ each?
For what Moderna admitted in their July 2020 Wall Street filing, was an experimental gene therapy?

All numbers lightly rounded, population figures from https://www.statista.com/statistics/241488/population-of-the-us-by-sex-and-age/

Problem is in the absences of Legislation regulation does have the force of law.

It going to be decided by hundreds, if not thousands, of lawsuits

The vaunted vaccine is not a preventative and does not give immunity.

A lot of Big Pharma swamp dwellers are making bank on that magic juice. Fauci and other vermin are probably getting their share and then there’s likely the 10% for the Diapered Guy.

Where have I heard this before? How about adding “without the Mark” at the end.

And of course it ignores that the Vaccinated can carry and infect anyone just as the unvaccinated do. The vaunted vaccine is not a preventative and does not give immunity.

Spot-on!!!

Yep. The world 🌏🌎🌍 seems to be on their way to it.

Revelation 14 shows the ultimate end of it all.
