Newsmax, the conservative news outlet, said it plans to implement a coronavirus vaccine requirement for its employees.
According to Mediaite, which obtained a copy of an email sent to employees, Newsmax told personnel they have to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or subject themselves to weekly testing.
The email noted that the company is implementing the mandate due to Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) rules, the outlet reported.
The Biden administration published the mandate on Thursday, setting up the January vaccination deadline. The mandate applies to companies with at least 100 employees.
“To ensure that we are in compliance, we require that all vaccinated employees submit a copy of their vaccination card,” the email said, according to Mediaite.
It is unclear how the move will be received by employees, as many of the network’s hosts have decried the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate.
Newsmax recently pulled one reporter off the air after she pushed a baseless vaccine conspiracy theory on Twitter.
Republican states and attorneys general are already amassing a lawsuit against the mandate, calling the move unconstitutional.
“Its unlawful mandate will cause injuries and hardship to working families, inflict economic disruption and staffing shortages on the States and private employers, and impose even greater strains on struggling labor markets and supply chains,” the attorneys general said in a lawsuit led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.
The Hill has reached out to Newsmax for comment.
No more Newsmax.
Eff Newsmax then.
This is THE hill to fight and die on.
Any “conservatives” who support this tyrannical mandate are traitors and sellouts and deserve to get what Quisling got in the fall of 1945.
The mandate is unlawful. No one should comply least of all them...
That would end Newsmax FR me. I’m already angry about Emerald.
All we need now is for OANN to force the shot.
This from a company that gave the Clinton Foundation $1 million dollars. I have absolutely no use for Newsmax. None. Period.
Newsmax? Conservative? ROTFLMAO!
Trump taught conservatives how to fight. Guess Newsmax wasn’t paying attention. They show now to be the same old wishy washes.
So much for lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, Ruddy...
For me, newsmax lost their “conservative” credentials about four years ago.
My first thought too. I’ve moved away from them lately anyway. I removed them from my bookmarks several months ago. Now, I feel very prescient. WTF? Sane people should be moving the opposite direction.
Ditto. See post 11. We be on the same page.
Stopped watching when they started reading the POW statement from Dominion.
Even my leftist company that went all in on BLM and hired a diversity political officer have NOT implemented the mandate yet.
The Covid vaccine mandate is just the beginning. What will the next intrusion on personal liberty mandate be?

I stopped watching them almost immediately after 2020 selection. Never understood their appeal to conservatives. They shd be dropped over this by all who value personal freedom and sovereignty.
