Addendum: as you may know, the vaccine deadline was Jan. 4, 2022. However, the rule also required companies to have rules for implementation in place “by Dec. 5” (a Sunday), leading many companies to set a Dec. 4 deadline for employees to agree to be vaccinated. Sorry if that was unclear.

What can be done to protect federal employees? Seriously? As a tax payer this infuriates me.

Don't count your chickens. Much of the harm has already been done, and they're just trying to keep it out of the supreme court. They're just looking how to re-write it around the 5th circuit, and will do this again every month or two.

What I see as the best news and biggest surprise is they are afraid of Barrett and Kavenaugh. Both giant squishes that have voted with the left 80% of the time so far and have shown they do not believe you have a right to religious freedom or bodily autonomy.

As of yesterday, 11/16, daily new cases per capita were 56% higher in the top vaxxed states than in the bottom vaxxed states. And that's with the top vaxxed states have a weighted avg of 67% of adults vaccinated vs. 47% in the bottom 10 states.

When brain dead fucking morons say "no vaccines are 100% effective at stopping transmission" please gift them a set of big shoes, a rubber nose and a green wig. The population level data suggests that these "vaccines" have zero efficacy at stopping transmission. None. Goose Egg. Totally worthless. And employers forcing employees to get vaccinated to somehow protect the workplace when the vaccines do nothing to stop transmission is a fucking joke. This administration is a fucking joke. The barking seals that go along with whatever the CDC bird feeds them are a fucking joke.

Welcome to clown world 2.0. Bigger and better than the original clown world.

This was never going to pass muster. They announced it, drug their feet on purpose, so that companies would move toward implementing. The individuals behind this are totally evil.

As a Health Care worker, I will still be given the axe bc the Biden edict that entities receiving CMS/Medicare/Medicaid payments must have all people vaccinated is not affected by the 5th Circuit stay. Therefore, thousands of doctors, nurses, surgical techs, janitors, and anyone working at a facility receiving CMS payments will be fired or prevented from working there. It’s absurd, particularly since being vaxed provides no benefit for catching and transmitting CoVid. Furthermore, as is well known by many, hospitals are already short staffed. How does firing healthcare providers benefit any aspect of healthcare????

Absolutely Awesome. Now let’s arrest Gates, Fauci and Schwab.

Before we get too excited, let's wait and see what the back-up plan was by the vaxx makers and the Biden Administration in case the OSHA plan got shot down. They might start inflating numbers again to make things look bad.

Yeah, but they are still mandating for federal contractors. My company is saying we have to comply as federal contractor not because of osha

What about CMS mandate? My wife is getting ready to lose her job at a nursing home on 12/6.

It almost seems like a vaccine sales quota contest among government leaders around the world. See who can persuade, coerce, or punish the most people into taking the shot. Nobody cares if it kills or cripples the people taking it, or whether it prevents disease. Just get a needle in every arm and two in every eye, if possible, and win the big prize. Whatever that is.

Completely and totally unconstitutional having OSHA even attempt to do this. This mandate infuriates me as well. Fascists!

Does it also mean that millions can sue their employers and the federal government for wrongful termination?

Because I really hope they sue them out of existence.

The MSM no longer exists, we must realize that, accept that they are paid propagandists and stop looking to them for real news reports! They are CIA MOCKINGBIRDS, accept it and shut them down

This is great but I wonder if too much damage hasn't already been done. I sense a huge feeling of betrayal by the government from health workers and other people who have been affected already economically.

Thanks for some good news. Now, hopefully the mandates for federal employees / contractors, military, CMS employees, city / state employees will be overturned in court.

Unfortunately I’m not sure this applies to those industries that are considered “federal contractors”. Can anyone clarify?

Problem is many companies already have enacted policies with deadlines well In advance of the Dec and Jan deadlines, and folks have lost their jobs,

are still about to lose their jobs, or relented and got vaxxed, as a result. Is there immediate recourse for them? That would be helpful for them to know where to turn right now.

I sincerely hope you are correct on this, Alex.

I personally do not think this is over. The 6th Circuit is supposed to hear the case. Mostly likely, it will rule as the 5th did. However, if it does not, it will go to SCOTUS.

I believe Congress is supposed to issue a "disapproval" motion as well. I have not heard anything on this.

Pardon my cynicism. But I expected this crap to be over this past June. Everything time I think it is over, the Biden administration keeps ramping it up.

The sad part is many already felt the pressure to get the jab. I just found out my healthy 20 year old granddaughter got the jab when they first came out. I'm sick about it. Why would any healthy person do this unless they believed the propaganda. I am going to watch a special tonight on blaze tv on covid, fauci and the cdc. I am not a glenn beck fan however I am always open to truth and facts. I'm sorry to say that a lot of what he has talked about has come true. This is not about a virus, not even close.

Thank you Alex. MSM reported today that the UK’s Covid numbers are up because of their “Low Vaccination Rates” ….all lies, all the time. Also , non-Covid deaths in the US are up 10%….Hhmmmm. If you haven’t purchased RFK Jr’s new book, buy 5 copies and send them to the hypnotized for the holidays! It’s impossible to put down!

Alex - The court left the Gov't contractor rule alone - which means that any companies that do business w the Federal Gov't still have to live by the mandate. The Gov't contractor rule is much stricter than the OSHA rule - for example OSHA exempted "Work From Home" employees from the mandate but the Gov't contractor ruling says that "WFH" must comply with vaccine or be separated on the original schedule. This train is running down the track and it does not look like it will be challenged.

"Pending further developments in the litigation." Let's not spike the football yet, guys. They're simply following the court order that they "take no steps to implement or enforce".

My employer (FIS) has already told me that as federal contractor, the Fifth Circuit decision has no impact on Brandon's Executive Order. I have requested an accommodation and have been threatened with termination on December 31st if I do not comply with the mandate for federal contractors. Marry Christmas you filthy animals!

Now kill the contractor mandate and all the other mandates. Alas, many employers will still try to keep one "just to make their workers feel safe." What B.S. Refuse the jab. Submit a religious exemption request. Flood the zone in HR. Get laid off if you have to. Life is more precious than a job.

My employer sells to VA Hospitals, so we're considered a government contractor or subcontractor. We were informed that even though the deadline has been extended to Jan 4, 2022, they are asking all employees to upload their proof of vaccination before the holidays (by Dec 8, 2021). Their statement regarding those that do not upload their proof is "For employees who have not uploaded their proof of vaccination by the deadline, it is likely that their ability to be employees will be impacted" Isn't that a sweet way to put it?

There is plenty of evidence to make one believe that this Democrat Administration does not listen to the Courts. They say one thing but they do something else.

This is about a Federal mandate. My understanding it states could mandate a vaccine. Depends on your state's laws, whether there is actually an emergency in place, etc, etc. IMO there is no emergency, if there was one, it ended long ago and needs to be attacked as it appears to be the basis for all these mandates.

Everyone is focused on the OSHA mandate, what about the CMS mandate? Nursing homes and Healthcare facilities are affected by this one but where are the lawsuits fighting it?

This doesn't do any good for the friends of mine who were terminated from employment with the company I work for - as of Nov 1, 2021... because our company put in a vaccine mandate.

I suppose that is the right of the company's owner (large privately held company)... but I'm sure that the policy was implemented at least somewhat because of this supposed mandate. I doubt they will relent as this company has become way too Woke in recent years. Odd because the multi-billionaire owner used to be a really freedom loving person. Sad.

Booster mandates could change everything. In Vermont only 26% have taken the boosters.

Biden may be weary of possibly creating bad law for any future executive orders or mandates. The 6th court of appeals got the MDL for these types of cases and it's a right leaning panel of Judges. Biden may know the 6th will issue bad ruling against them and they'll have to appeal to SCOTUS where they will get final ruling. For Biden, it may be better to have a threat of an OSHA action as opposed to having an OSHA invalidated by Courts.

Now before the good folk of the US of A get too excited and pop the champers let's keep in mind that most of the worlds governments, including the Biden Dictatorship (yes, just for fun let's call it what it is!!) are simply riding roughshod over their own Bills of Rights, Constritutions etc, so in time they will find another way... why the US Supreme Court remains eerily silent on this serious infringement of rights is one of the mysteries of our time.

Unfortunately so many of these companies have already and will continue to do Brandon’s bidding bc they DON’T follow the science and think these jabs help stop the spread of covid! The widespread ignorance of so many woke corporations is increasingly annoying and frustrating. When the first one gets sued and held liable for big bucks due to an adverse event or death things will change drastically. Sooner than later hopefully!

I work for medical provider and all employees are required to have the vaccine with no alternative such as weekly testing. This is a mandate in order to receive CMS funds as a majority of our patients have Medicare/Medicaid. I am vaccinated but don’t agree with any mandates.
