Not too long ago, we were revealing that the Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration’s emergency rule that would have forced large employers to vaccinate or regularly test their employees.
Supreme Court blocks Biden’s covid mandate
This decision was delivered recently, and this is a major victory for the mandate’s critics who appealed to the Supreme Court to block the order after the Sixth Circuit lifted a stay put in place by the Fifth Circuit.
“OSHA’s COVID–19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard, 86 Fed. Reg. 61402, is stayed pending disposition of the applicants’ petitions for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and disposition of the applicants’ petitions for writs of certiorari, if such writs are timely sought.”
The Court concluded:
“Should the petitions for writs of certiorari be denied, this order shall terminate automatically. In the event the petitions for writs of certiorari are granted, the order shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.”
Biden administration withdraws mask and testing mandate
It’s been just revealed that the Biden administration is formally withdrawing its vaccine and testing mandate for businesses after the Supreme Court blocked the requirements earlier this month.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will pull the rule for businesses effective today, Wednesday, Jan. 26, the agency said in a statement posted to its website Tuesday.
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that OSHA had exceeded its authority, according to the latest data coming from CNBC.
“Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly.”
This is what the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
We’re getting closer to e the end of covid 19 pandemic
The pandemic seems to be getting closer and closer to its end with the lighter variant called Omicron. Although this variant of the virus is more contagious, as you probably know by now, it has lighter symptomatology for most people. Anyway, the pandemic is expected to become endemic soon.
“We will have perfectly normal lives, with just injection maybe once a year. And the pill in case we are sick will make it more flu like rather than life-threatening disease,” says $PFE CEO @AlbertBourla to @megtirrell. pic.twitter.com/5HggesU1aT
