This Loophole in the OSHA Regulations Could Help You Get Around the Biden Vaccine Mandate
PJ Media ^ | 10/17/2021 | Stacey Lennox

Posted on 10/17/2021 9:09:14 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

OSHA is reportedly getting ready to issue the vaccine mandate President Biden asked them to create. This action is unprecedented on several levels. Using OSHA’s emergency powers to avoid the administrative law procedures that include a public comment period is dubious at best. To issue an Emergency Temporary Standard, “OSHA must determine that workers are in grave danger due to exposure to toxic substances or agents determined to be toxic or physically harmful or to new hazards and that an emergency standard is needed to protect them.”

Does COVID-19 meet that standard? The current infection fatality rates (IFR) for Americans under 50 make it difficult to assert that there is grave danger for the majority of the working-age population. As of October 9, the current public health situation, according to the NHCS provisional death counts, the CDC data tracker, and the CDC estimate disease burden, looks like this for the majority of the working-age population:

Does an estimated IFR of 0.07% constitute an emergency for OSHA when the widely cited IFR for the flu is 0.1%, according to the WHO and Dr. Anthony Fauci? Americans 18-49 actually make up a more significant percentage of non-COVID deaths than COVID-related deaths.

The pandemic is also 18 months old with no other emergency standard issued by OSHA. In fact, OSHA basically admits the agency was not authorized to issue standards when it first posted guidance for employers in January, making a clear distinction: These were recommendations, not standards employers were required to follow.

This guidance contains recommendations as well as descriptions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) mandatory safety and health standards, the latter of which are clearly labeled throughout as “mandatory OSHA standards.” The recommendations are advisory in nature and informational in content and are intended to assist employers in providing a safe and healthful workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Now do fatalities for the under 65 crowd;
and how masks protect you at the office, but you have to get the jab to work from home 20 miles or 100 miles away telecommuting.

Here it is, the loophole we have all been waiting for:

Why are you posting this crap? We want people to get vaccinated, not get infected and die.

We REALLY don’t want people to die.
We prefer people not get infected.
We ABSOLUTELY DEMAND people have three choice to get the shots or not.

We’re anti-tyranny, first, and foremost.

I am actually for the true information given to the American people about all aspects of the virus and vaccines. The truth should convince Anericans that the vaccines are the way to go. However, that won’t happen because people against the American people want America to go down from the plague. Their misinformation is popping up like a Wack-O-Mole. A crisis is not something to waste. The only way to defeat these subversives it to mandate the vaccines.

Can you tell me the antigen that the mRNA injections are using? I can't find what they are.

“Can you tell me the antigen that the mRNA injections are using? I can’t find what they are.”

Portions of the Spike Protein. That’s been mentioned in most every description of the vaccines. But here’s one more:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-021-00369-6

“They all rely on the native viral spike protein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 for inducing potently neutralizing antibodies, but the presentation of this key antigen to the immune system differs substantially between the different categories of vaccines. “

And here’s a preview of how covid vaccines will change as more is being learned about the virus:

The antigen is not in the mRNA vaccine. It only has the RNA blueprint for the antigen, which is the Spike Protein that is constructed by the ribosomes when they create a protein strand of the Spike Protein. That protein strand is broken up and presented on the the host cell’s membrane where they bind to the MHC-1 and MHC-2 complex molecule. Other cells called helper T-cells detect these antegen fragments. The helper T-
cells can raise the alarm and help marshal other immune cells to fight the infection whenever it invades the body.

Then how do we defeat this pandemic when there is no other course of action against it?

My state is open carry and I’m both self-employed and a light sleeper, so I won’t be getting any mystery shot DemocRATs push. Leftists also have no talent and destroy things rather than create new stuff. They want us to forget there are plenty of pre-woke movies, TV shows, and music around. I read an article over at GatewayPundit on a comic book ruining now, “DC Comics Drops ‘The American Way’ from Superman’s Motto After 83 Years for More Globalist View”, so give that a look. Marvel already gave us a Chinese Hulk and hispanic Spider-man plus tuned lesser characters gay, so DC is just trying to catch up. And I didn’t vote for OSHA, or the CDC, so I just ignore them.

They tried to get Herschel Walker’s son to get a jab to take college classes over the internet. The left would have us believe covid travels over wires now.

There are NO vaccines for covid. You know what a real vaccine is because you had those as a kid. You also never got what you were vaccinated for, had to mask or distance or even booster. In addition vaccines take about 10 years on average to make, not 9 months. Wake up.
