White House Expands Vaccine Mandate To Cover 80 Million Workers

Via ZeroHedge

The White House has just released new policies requiring all companies – big and small – to coerce their workers into accepting the vaccine, or face termination, as the Biden Administration continues to up the pressure on all working Americans to get vaccinated before Jan. 4.

According to Axios, President Biden is planning to announce Thursday that employers with more than 100 workers on their payroll must guarantee that their workers are fully vaccinated, or tested weekly, by Jan. 4, 2022. If not, they could face federal fines starting at tens of thousands of dollars per offense.

What’s more, health-care workers will face even tougher restrictions which will effectively require every health-care worker in the country to be vaccinated, or lose their job, despite the fact that millions of health-care workers have already been infected with the virus by natural means.

To be sure, managing weekly testing programs for a minority of corporate employees will be extremely costly, and the ramifications of this new policy will essentially force employees for the biggest companies in the US to accept the vaccine.

Per Axios, the new rules – formally known as the COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard – will be enforced by OSHA. They will affect roughly two-thirds of America’s workforce, or roughly 80MM people. Many businesses and hospitals have already started to enforce vaccine mandates, and while Axios reports that they have seen “minimal” noncompliance, that doesn’t exactly square with the fact that less than 60% of the American population is fully vaccinated.

While corporations might be able to absorb some of these costs, small businesses will likely be left with some difficult decisions to make. However, there’s one important catch: OSHA will mostly rely on “complaints” to enforce the rule, meaning it will be up to American workers whether or not they want to hold their fellow workers accountable for defying the policy. This incentive to snitch out co-workers and neighbors has already elicited criticism from some, including Conservative Radio host Dan Bongino, who has pushed back against vaccine mandates in favor of bodily autonomy.

The strict mandate for health-care workers is already creating some problems because, while 40% of health-care businesses have purportedly already enforced the policy, the supposedly “minimal” level of noncompliance is reportedly exacerbating worker shortages at hospitals and other critical service providers.

In another indication of how companies are struggling with the mandate, some federal contractors had been expected to enforce the Biden Admin’s vaccine mandate by Dec. 8, but those expectations have now been pushed back to Jan. 4. When asked whether the pushback was due to worker shortages, or the timing of the holiday season, they refused to comment, saying only that the delay is meant to “align” with health-care facilities and US employers.

Perhaps President Biden (and VP/President-in-waiting Kamala Harris) have already forgotten the lessons of Tuesday’s “off-year” election?

For anyone who hasn’t read it, here’s a good explanation of why Biden’s OSHA mandate is unconstitutional. Separation of powers. If it were just about the logic of vaccines for a disease with a 99.7% survival rate, dummies Coney-Barrett & Roberts might rubber-stamp it. Since it’s an almost exact repeat of SCOTUS recent slap-down of the CDC’s eviction moratorium.

Most people will eventually have to get the injection to feed their families. Especially if they extend the mandates to companies under 100 as they just proposed.

A lot of people will retire early, but many more simply can’t.

And in spite of the fact that this is all unconstitutional, it won’t matter because even if they decide that, it will be long after most people have been injected with the poison.

I suspect that they know that the bodies are going to be stacking up like cordwood. And as of right now it’s mostly leftists who will be dying, and the Democrats want to even out the deaths so they can still get close enough to cheat their way in. That’s the only lesson they learned from Tuesday

What part of “OSHA will mostly rely on “complaints” to enforce the rule, meaning it will be up to American workers whether or not they want to hold their fellow workers accountable for defying the policy. ” do you not understand?

This isn’t a mandate, it isn’t constitutional, and it is 100% unenforceable.

Horseshit. Those people fall into the category of “enslaved by materialism”. I would say to them: Either have total, blind faith in the Lord, or just do all of us a favor and get busy dying. If the latter, may God have mercy on your soul because the courageous sure as fuck won’t.

The force of law is whatever the now government says it is. Totally wrong and unconstitutional what was done to the Jan 6th patriots, but they did and still doing it anyway. The rule of law is no more and is only for the overlords. People cannot get it through their skulls the old paradigm doesn’t exist anymore. VA election through a bone to conservatives……nothing more.

Last I heard, OSHA has not even initiated the rule making / public comment process, nor published any rule attempting to bypass that. In part, to avoid the litigation that would immediately follow opposing same.

So this appears to be more psyop and intimidation, counting on pliant employers to go along extra-legally.

“Emergency Temporary Standard”

Which is it? An emergency? or a temporary standard? Temporary like 2 weeks to flatten the curve temporary? Or temporary as in no end in sight? When all 50 states declared an emergency, it lead to declaring a national emergency on Friday the 13th, March, 2021. (3-13-2021, gee, I can pull a 33 or else a 322 out of that.) Some say that we are now under FEMA, some say that we are under the military. Either way, the Constitution has been suspended for this “temporary emergency,” and therefore We the People had better actively stand up for ourselves and our rights immediately before we lose them by standing down and doing nothing except complaining.

Do you notice the incrementalism? here is the path we are on… lockdowns, masks, restricted therapeutics, CDC-Hospital top down command and control treatment (death) protocols, vaccines, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports (“we can’t tell who is complying”), digital ID/VaxxPass combination, CBDC/digital ID/VaxxPass combination, social credit score, UBI, FEMA camps. They will not stop at the mandate. That is a ruse and pretense to enable a VaxxPass to track the compliant and then CBDC.

Here’s OSHA’s announcement today: https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/11042021

Key sentence: Ensure each worker who is not fully vaccinated is tested for COVID-19 at least weekly (if the worker is in the workplace at least once a week) or within 7 days before returning to work (if the worker is away from the workplace for a week or longer).

That being in the workplace at least once a week part could be an out for some people – like a lot of outside sales people.
