NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A federal appeals court has declined, for now, to allow the Biden administration to require COVID-19 vaccinations for federal employees.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled 2-1 Wednesday to maintain a block on the mandate that a Texas-based federal judge had issued on Jan. 21. The administration had asked the New Orleans court for an injunction allowing the federal worker mandate to move forward pending appeal.
President Joe Biden announced in September that more than 3.5 million federal workers were required to undergo vaccination, with no option to get regularly tested instead, unless they secured approved medical or religious exemptions. The requirement kicked in this past November. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said last month that 98% of federal workers are vaccinated.
Judge Jeffrey Brown, who was appointed to the District Court for the Southern District of Texas by then-President Donald Trump, issued an injunction against the requirement last month, saying the Biden administration exceeded its authority.
The 5th Circuit panel’s order didn’t address the merits of the case. It was a brief order by judges Jerry Smith and Don Willett putting off a decision on whether to lift the injunction pending further proceedings, and ordering the expedited filing of briefs.

And again I say unto you: If what we are learning about the vaccines is true, a lot of these federal workers are not gonna be around much longer.
I don’t look forward to people dying in large numbers, but for those who force the poisoned M&Ms on others.... eh.
I managed to stay under the radar and never got a shot. Looking forward to the empty offices. Oh wait, they’ve already been almost empty for the last 2 years.
Many Federal workers are going to be very upset when/if they wake up.
Good for you. To stay under the radar can be difficult.
it’s not that easy. if there are say 3 million federal workers. the death rate is in the ballpark of 1/2000 from the mnra jab that means about
2*10^3/3*10^6 = 2/3/10^3 or about 6 or 7 in 10,000. yeah it’s an atrocity, but holding the media propaganda machine, they can manage it.
they can suppress that number fairly easily. it’s harder to supress the injuries though. those are far more numerous. that’s why the numbers taking mrna boosters is going to go way down.
I’m confused. Who is, and who is not mandated to get the vax? Does this cover the military? The only thing I know for sure is that illegal aliens are not required to get it.
The vaccines are going to kill everyone is the same chicken little stuff that the virus is going to kill everyone.
I have no doubt, there will be a percentage of folks who are going to have problems, some of them chronic from these shots.. and we already know some people die from them.
The odds of huge segments of all the folks who got them dying from it are not likely.
Time will tell either way, but chicken little for any cause is rarely accurate.
I stopped getting flu shots years ago - while working in a hospital - because they always made me feel sick and sometimes I would miss work. I stopped getting them and my incidences of getting cold/flu symptoms also slowed way down. The last time I was really sick was almost 10 years ago. I’m not anti-vaccination, I just don’t trust the “flu shot.”
So it was kind of a no-brainer for me. I KNEW I wasn’t going to get a shot right from the get-go. It was actually kind of a lucky thing that I wasn’t working when this all started. (I know, how pitiful, right? “Oh, I’m so lucky because I don’t have a job!”)
Mr K (not the one on this forum) was in a bit of a bind at his job because for a few months his boss was really leaning on everyone, but on the other hand, he didn’t require any proof - he just kept saying “get vaccinated!” but hardly anybody did. (A few guys got sick but they are all back at work now.) At this point, he’s (Mr K’s boss) not saying anything further about it and nobody else is talking about it. (He’s the same way about drug testing: He only gets upset if someone is complained about. Then he calls everybody on the carpet and says “I’m going to make you guys start getting random drug tests!” But then he doesn’t: He just expects for them to shape up. Also, he fires people a lot. Like, all the time. There is a continual high turnover at the company.)
Anyway, I truly pity whoever has been forced to take this killer “vaccination.” Unless they voted for ChoMoeJoe.
You’re not following the evidence. You’re just trying to get folks to agree with you.
There are a lot of mandates..
Business over 100 - struck down by supreme court.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for health-care workers at some 76,000 federally funded facilities to Supreme Court let stand.
Businesses that have federal contracts - still in tact, court has not ruled.
Mandates for federal workers is what this one is about, hasn’t gotten to supreme court yet.
And more.. I think there were something like 8 separate mandates the puppet masters had their dementia puppet declare.
The demented old fool in the White House gets clobbered by the courts yet again.
Chuckle.
I am not trying to get anyone to do anything.
Biodiversity is a wonderful thing, it’s what has kept our species and EVERY species alive since life began on earth.
There is no evidence that indicates large numbers of folks who got the shots are all going to drop dead in short order or be struck down with debilitating diseases. There are HYPOTHESIS’ put forth by some researches and scientists who are making these claims.
Just like there were researches and scientists claiming the virus itself was going to take out huge percentages of the population in early 2020.
We know the latter absolutely did NOT come to pass, and we will see in time if the prior does... but color me skeptical that the “worst case scenario” being suggested by these current researchers turns out to be the case.
That’s the thing about “worst” and “best” case scenarios, very very rarely do they turn out to be what happens, regardless of the situation.
I have absolutely no doubt there will be folks who have long term health issues related to these injections, and we already know some folks have indeed died from them.... but the chicken little worst case, of large percentages of folks who got them are going to all be dropping dead or have debilitating lifelong issues because of it, is NOT the likely outcome.
Could it be? Time will tell, but to claim the evidence is in and the book is written that this is what’s destined to happen is not supported by any evidence to date. Hypothesized by some.. sure, proven by fact, not even close.
Got some practive avoiding flu shots in the military in the 80’s despite the nasty messages (before email) taking about violating orders, blah, blah, blah... Nothing ever happened.
My evidence is that flu shots never helped me. In fact, they made me sick. I mistrust them. There is plenty of evidence that the current set of vaccinations has - at the very least - not been fully tested.
My own mom had test positive SARS-CoV2 AFTER being vaccinated - this is per her story to me - and then had a problem with “hemorrhaging” - I never got the full story on that because someone in the background of the call was shushing her. So that is also evidence. For me.
Why do you care so much if I agree with you? Let me live or die with my wrong-think and have as many vaccinations as you like.
You trying to use these elementary-school arguments on me isn’t going to help your cause. Seek elsewhere for the support and validation you require.
Same here when I was in 1970-1973. The only one that gave us problems and that was painful and soreness, was the the plague shot in the muscle in the butt before going to Nam. We had to stand on one leg and tighten up our butts for the shot. lol It had to go into the muscle.
How do you explain the Insurance companies who have seen a 40% increase in mortality of insured (age 18-65) over the past year? All causes? Yes. But what explains that? Besides the huge number vaccinated, what else changed last year?
