A decision issued on Monday reportedly states that the Biden administration cannot impose its COVID immunization requirement on government contractors.
A 2-1 judgment from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the requirement.
“The President’s use of procurement regulations to reach through an employing contractor to force obligations on individual employees is truly unprecedented. As such, Executive Order 14042 is unlawful, and the Plaintiff States have consequently demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits.” The ruling stated.
The action was brought by the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Indiana. A district judge stopped the mandate’s application to government contractors in December 2021.
The mandate for the coronavirus vaccination may have an influence on up to 20% of the American workforce as the federal government has contracts with thousands of businesses.
Due to court judgments, the White House instructed federal agencies in October not to attempt implementation of the federal contractor rule.
A federal court authorized a $10 million class action settlement for workers at an Illinois healthcare system whose religious objections opposing the vaccination were denied on Monday.

Doesn’t go near far enough, of course, but it is a start. Those STILL EXPERIMENTAL, unapproveddrugs were supposed to have detailed informed consent releases, & could NOT lawfully be forced on anyone, or coerced, including military personnel, but, as usual, the laws to protect us were ignored! if it wouldn’t mean paying out for our own lawsuit, I’d suggest a massive class action suit against everyone involved in pushing those kill shots on people; but it wouldn’t hurt them unless THEY were required to pay from their own wallets, not tax payer monies. Every one ofthem shouldbe facing jail time, for their criminal actions!
About time. The govt according to the Constitution has no right to force anyone to take a shot of anything. Protecting others from your sickness isn’t even mentioned in the Constitution. CDC is just another control agency invented by Congress. People need to start suing these govt agencies when they act like they are Congress and/or our Constitution. The govt is to follow the Constitution in regards to rights of citizens and it needs to be clarified that non citizens like illegals have no rights in this country without permission or proof that non citizens have permission to be in the country and under regulations for them, not rights of citizens.
