A Federal Court recently announced that it is halting Joe Biden’s tyrannical vaccine mandate for healthcare workers in 10 states.
“The scale falls clearly in favor of healthcare facilities operating with some unvaccinated employees, staff, trainees, students, volunteers and contractors, rather than the swift, irremediable impact of requiring healthcare facilities to choose between two undesirable choices — providing substandard care or providing no healthcare at all,” U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp wrote on Monday.
The 10 states that sued the Biden administration earlier this year: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Are impacted by this ruling.
Biden’s order from November 5 applied to health care workers working in hospitals that revive federal funding through medicare. Biden and his administration argued that this mandate was necessary to “help slow the spread of COVID-19 among the nation’s health care workers.”
Judge Schelp ruled that this type of tyrannical order exceeds a president’s authority. This ruling gave the 10 states a huge victory and healthcare professionals a relief.
“Congress did not clearly authorize CMS to enact this politically and economically vast, federalism-altering, and boundary-pushing mandate, which Supreme Court precedent requires,” Judge Schelp wrote.
“OSHA is complying with the 5th Circuit’s stay,” a Department of Labor official said. “OSHA is not enforcing or implementing the [regulation] — so they are not engaging or offering compliance assistance.” He continued.
