A 490-page regulation was published by the White House earlier in the month. This regulation was designed to bully and coerce people who have not been vaccinated with the COVID vaccine.
Less than a week after a stump-broken OSHA announced that rule, it was the subject of a nationwide injunction by the Fifth Circuit (see BREAKING: Court Decision in on Biden’s OSHA Mandate). The Fifth Circuit followed up their temporary injunction (BREAKING: Federal Appeals Court Denies Biden Admin Request to Lift Stay on Vaccine Mandate) with a permanent one that didn’t treat the mandate as anything but a political stunt (5th Circuit Takes Biden to the Woodshed With the Scolding He Deserves).
As far as this goes, it is fantastic. It is always nice to see federal judges protect civil liberties and reign in a ravenous federal bureaucracy, especially when the employees are given a choice between forfeiting their livelihoods or accepting “medical” treatment that many perceive as having an unacceptable level of risk.
It is sad to say that Biden’s gang are encouraging businesses not to obey court orders which would violate the mandate.
This is Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary. It was issued shortly after the Fifth Circuit had made its nationwide injunction.
“We think people should not wait. Do not hesitate to act now in order to keep your work environment safe. It is important and critical to do and waiting to get more people vaccinated will lead to more outbreaks and sickness,” Jean-Pierre said at the daily White House press briefing.
“This is about keeping people in the workplace safe. And so what we’re seeing is more businesses and school closures and more lost jobs that keep us keep us stuck in a pandemic that we’re trying to end.”
She added: “We’re trying to get past this pandemic and we know a way to do that is to get people vaccinated. People should not hesitate. They should continue to go move forward and make sure that they’re getting their workplace vaccinated.”
It is what we are seeing.

Here is Dan Bongino’s take:

Large businesses know they can’t afford to disregard Biden’s directive no matter what the courts say about the mandate. They know that regulators will be sniffing around if they show they aren’t part of the team. They are aware that federal contracts will not be awarded to them quietly.
Biden has done something Trump had been accused of plotting but never got around to. Biden is using the federal government’s power to force businesses to comply with a clearly illegal and unconstitutional vaccine mandate, one that a federal circuit has struck down, or else.
Look for this pattern of behavior to continue as Biden’s ability to enact policy disappears when the off-year elections crank up next year. He’s going to have to show something to his base or face a total blowout (unlike the one he allegedly had in the Vatican, this will be figurative rather than literal) in 2022 and devote his last two years will be spent fending off Congressional investigations. Although he might not escape this fate, he has the only hope to be the Scranton tough guy who does the right thing in spite of the vile Republicans.
