Q: And why release this now?
A: OSHA was under orders not to further anger voters at Democrats prior to the election.
No doubt that this was released with regard to political considerations.
My guess is that the Biden Administration believes any anger will decrease by the 2022 midterms. I believe they are wrong, We shall see.
probably because 52% support mandates according to some polls, whether true or not it’s the only issue the dems have a slight support edge (if polls are accurate at all)
