Biden White House Again Gives the Courts the Middle Finger Over COVID Vaccine Mandate

I know the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and the days following the 2021 elections sort of overtook the news cycle, the former story especially, but we still have this mess with the COVID vaccine mandate brewing. Yes, Democrats were licking their wounds after Election Day 2021, while also blaming white supremacy for their overall abysmal showing—but Biden's mandate is still an ongoing battle. Yes, the courts put a stop to its implementation and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is no longer working on its enforcement protocols for the mandate, but the Biden White House is once again telling companies to defy the courts last week (via The Hill):

For the second time in a month, the White House on Thursday urged large businesses to move forward with coronavirus vaccine mandates for their workforces despite court challenges to the Biden administration’s vaccine-or-test requirement for private companies.

“Our message to businesses right now is to move forward with measures that will make their workplaces safer and protect their workforces from COVID-19,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters during a briefing. “That was our message after the first stay issued by the Fifth Circuit. That remains our message and nothing has changed.”

Psaki’s comments came after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) said it would suspend enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for businesses after a federal appeals court reaffirmed its decision to suspend the mandate.

Psaki said … that the administration remains confident that it has the authority to issue the rule, known as an emergency temporary standard, which requires businesses with more than 100 employees to require that their employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to regular testing for the virus.

Psaki also said the administration was still working off the Jan. 4 deadline ..

If you only have 25 employees, you’re already in compliance.

Actually, any size business right now is complying with the court ruling halting the mandate.

Tulsi is just as much, or more of a commie than Jose Bidet! Don’t let the pretty smile and the long hair fool you.

As I keep insisting,

*Zero isn’t running this country. He’s way too lazy.
*Michael isn’t. He doesn’t like politics, and besides, this would require too much detail work and not enough $$
*Certainly the Demented Pervert in the WH isn’t.

I still think a loose cabal of COMPETING interests (including Buttplugs, Harris, an envronmental whacko lobby, an anti-gun group, and several other specialized interest groups) are vying for policy position. Some get it most of the time. But I don’t think they’ve been ID’d yet.

>>> A large customer just informed us that we need to comply with the mandate or lose our contract.

Sue them for breach of contract and criminal damages for violations under US 18/242.

I found out when researching this there are actually several mandates. The OSHA mandate for large business is just one of them. There is a seperate one for Federal Employees and Contractors that does not appear to be covered by the injunction against the OSHA one. It also has no 100 employee limit for subcontractors.

This reasoning assumes that the “grave constitutional concerns” mentioned by the court were not related to mandating an experimental drug on human beings, but rather for some other circumstantial aspect of the case such as # of employees or type of employer.

Hell yes it’s covered.

It SHOULD also apply to the military.

Someone needs to clarify what human rights our soldiers are giving up by serving in the armed forces.
