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.”

div class="thm-piano-mop-premium">

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.

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

India, Uttar Pradesh to be exact.

Keep the facts out in front.

The pro-vaxx propaganda keeps surfacing. The whole topic has taken on religious fervor.

Whose going to pay $$$ for all the thousands upon thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands who have been harmed aka maimed by the killer jabs? Let the multi-million dollar lawsuits be filed against politicians coast to coast who allowed Big Pharma to not be responsible and to be left off the hook. Additionally, sue the hell out of employers mandating the deaths of their employees begin!!

“Amazing that it took this long for anyone to say this. In any country.”

Red the other day about some blood pressure meds being pulled because four people came down with cancer from taking it. Four. No deaths. Meanwhile, the vacc’s are killing people and isn’t being pulled.

Does OSHA have the power to regulate medical treatment? I don’t think so.

Isn’t “never let a crisis go to waste” the hallmark belief of the liberal commie Rahm Emmanuel? Surprising to hear someone who claims to love America use Rahm’s reasoning or claim that denying Americans freedom through mandates is the right thing to do.

When I wrote, “A crisis is not something to waste,” I was referring to the grifters who were exploiting the pandemic for their own greedy pockets. These are the R.F. Kennedy jokers spreading misinformation as fast as it gets debunked—like a Wack-O-Mole. Andrew Wakefield was one of the earliest to benefit from the modern anti-vax movement.

And yet, the people profiting most from this whole hysteria are who, exactly? Which groups truly are not wasting this crisis?

Big Pharma, with their 'vaccines' and near-complete suppression of any kind of treatments.
Dem Govs and their massive power-trips.
Most other countries (Australia!) who have finally been able to destroy many of the freedoms of their citizenry.

The problem with alternate treatments is it requires a tremendously expensive procedure—clinical trials—to get them approved for use. To get the financing you will need an organized effort and that could open up the door to people taking the money to their offshore banks.

My list of the Wakefield-type grifters and misinformation sources:

Dr. Juli A. Mazi (fake homeoprophylaxis immunizations), Dr. Michael Yeaden, Robert Malone, Joseph Mercola (Mercola Com Health Resources LLC), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Children’s Health Defense Co), Julie Masy, Ty & Charlene Bollinger, Keith Middlebrook (COVID pills), Sherri Tenpenny (Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center), Rizza Islam, Rashid Buttar, Erin Elizabeth, Sayer Ji, Kelly Brogan, Christiane Northrup, Ben Tapper, Kevin Jenkins, Barbara Loe Fisher (The National Vaccine Information Center), Del Bigtree (Informed Consent Action Network), Edwin Tamasese and Dr. Simone Gold (Frontline Doctors).

It not a vaccine. Your mistake is confusing this new type of medial treatments with previous vaccines. Details below.. It is interesting to note that this new type of treatment has only been authorized due the political pressure of “having to do something” about Covid.

Previously RNA technology has failed every clinical trial. It was one of those neat toys scientists theorized should work but were never able to successfully get past clinical trials.

Vaccine: Per the WHO

Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting you against harmful diseases, before you come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger.

Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.

What is the Covid “Vaccine”

The COVID-19 pandemic placed unprecedented pressures on drug developers. An effective and safe vaccine typically takes over a decade to create and validate, but the global impact and spread of COVID-19 accelerated the production of the first vaccines, which were rolled out less than a year after the initial outbreak of the disease.

Ultimately, a new class of vaccines based on RNA technology were the first to be approved across much of the western world. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent a promising alternative to manufacturing conventional vaccines due to their flexibility and rapid production speed.

Wow! I wasted my time writing my post for you. I suppose President Trump’s effort to get a vaccine at “warp speed” was a big waste of time too.

I bet you gave a thumbs up when Kamala Harris said, “I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever (a vaccine) he’s talking about. I will not take his word for it.” She was later asked if Dr. Fauci gave his approval of the vaccine’s efficacy and reliability, would she trust Dr. Fauci? and she said, “Yes. I trust Dr. Fauci,” she “would trust the word of public health experts and scientists, but not Donald Trump.”

When you ignore basic factual statements to scream in hysteria and infantile bombast like that you just embarrass yourself

Rather then act like an infantile Leftist screaming in hysteria at everyone who points out the uncomfortable facts, read and LEARN.

Trump is not God. He was not flawless and perfect. He is just as prone to human error as the rest of us.

I just report the facts mam. Your effort to insult me is all you do rather than address the facts that I give. This is what I consider the use of the fallacy of the Ad Hominem Argument to bolster your argument: The fallacy of attempting to refute an argument by attacking the opposition’s intelligence, morals, education, professional qualifications, personal character or reputation.

When I wrote, “ The mRNA vaccines, despite their differing mechanisms, all broadly follow the same definition: a preparation that is administered (as by injection) to stimulate the body’s immune response against a specific infectious agent or disease: such as : an antigenic preparation of a typically inactivated or attenuated pathogenic agent (such as a bacterium or virus) or one of its components or products such as a protein or toxin, you ignored it with your statement that vaccines “do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.”

And, “An effective and safe vaccine typically takes over a decade to create and validate, but the global impact and spread of COVID-19 accelerated the production of the first vaccines, which were rolled out less than a year after the initial outbreak of the disease.” When I wrote:

“The mRNA technology has been in development for at least 10 years. The biochemist Katalin Karikó was an mRNA-vaccine pioneer beginning in In 1989. Hundreds of scientists contributed to the research. As a vaccine it was first applied to the denuge fever. Dengvaxia was approved in the United States as the first vaccine approved for the prevention of dengue disease caused by all dengue virus serotype. All the covid vaccine developers had to do was to plug the Spike Protein blueprint into the Denque virus vaccine.”

MY error in the above was “The mRNA technology has been in development for at least 10 years.” It should have been 30 years.

Another error which I should have known was Dengvaxia was not an mRNA vaccine. Dengvaxia was a more traditional one using a a live attenuated tetravalent chimeric. The mRNA vaccine came after Dengvaxia and it was found to be more efficacious. The mRNA version was used as a template for the coronavirus vaccine. The point was that the vaccine was not rushed because the difficult parts fell in place because of research with the Dengue virus and previous research i.e. the lipid nanoparticle delivery capsule used in the mRNA vaccine for Dengue. I thought you would get that point, but you wrote: “An effective and safe vaccine typically takes over a decade to create and validate, but the global impact and spread of COVID-19 accelerated the production of the first vaccines, which were rolled out less than a year after the initial outbreak of the disease.” Did you imply that because of the spread of COVID-19, it was rushed and, because of that, it was not “an effective and safe vaccine?”

You criticize Big Pharma but do you consider the huge cost of research and development, testing and production for something like Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine for COVID-19? The money does not come out of thin air. They don’t just mash up some Chinese tree bark and make an injection from it. After the meticulous makeup that messenger RNA has to be kept at minus 74 degrees Fahrenheit because of the unstable nature of the RNA blueprint. That takes a lot of money to come up with that technology. That money does not come out of thin air. It comes out of the sum total of the successful application that saves human life enough that people pay money for it. What? Do you want Pfizer and Moderna to lose money on it?

If you want alternative treatments for COVID-19 (DELTA) why don’t you organize a team to raise the money for the research and development, the testing and production and distribution? If you say that ivermectin has already been created and has passed the trials and has FDA approval, there is one problem. They do not know if the necessary dose to treat COVID is safe for humans and will be effective. Clinical trials have to be done to learn the answer to many questions. If the trials do not show ivermectin is safe at the necessary dose, then out goes that remedy after much expense.

The average cost of phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials across therapeutic areas is around $4, 13, and 20 million respectively. Pivotal (phase 3) studies for new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cost a median of $41,117 per patient. Who is willing to take a chance on ivermectin for COVID?
