Nov 30 (Reuters) – The Biden administration was blocked from enforcing two mandates requiring millions of American workers to get vaccinated against COVID. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Monroe, Louisiana, temporarily blocked the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) from enforcing its vaccine mandate for healthcare workers until the court can resolve legal challenges.
Doughty’s ruling applied nationwide, except in 10 states where the CMS was already prevented from enforcing the rule due to a prior order from a federal judge in St. Louis.
Doughty said the CMS lacked the authority to issue a vaccine mandate that would require more than 2 million unvaccinated healthcare workers to get a coronavirus shot. “There is no question that mandating a vaccine to 10.3 million healthcare workers is something that should be done by Congress, not a government agency,” wrote Doughty.
Separately, U.S. District Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove in Frankfort, Kentucky, blocked the administration from enforcing a regulation that new government contracts must include clauses requiring that contractors’ employees get vaccinated.
The White House declined to comment.
Yes!!!
Yes, very big.
Here’s the thing folks: the Demented Pervert HAS NOTHING ELSE.
They already destroyed the economy, probably ahead of schedule.
They opened the borders, only to find that Hispanics are trending more Republican in their voting, and that projections are that ALREADY the GOP will get 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2022.
They made a farce out of foreign policy.
They alienated America’s parents with their Communist Racist Theory hate.
THIS IS ALL THEY HAVE. Biteme has staked his entire regime on vaxxes & stopping the China Virus, and polling shows that for the first time he’s now underwater on that.
So this is good. Lash him to that mast, but please, don’t sink the ship too quickly. I know this is horrifically painful, but we need the country to feel extreme pain so that it never elects these terrorists again. Then, once in power, the GOP needs to define the DemoKKKrat Party itself as a terrorist organization.
