Biden administration to withdraw Covid-19 vaccination and testing regulation aimed at large business

Source: CNN

(CNN)The Biden administration is withdrawing its Covid-19 vaccination and testing regulation aimed at large businesses, following the Supreme Court's decision to block the rule earlier this month.

The US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Tuesday it will be withdrawing the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard for businesses with 100 or more employees, according to a statement on the agency's website.

"Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard," the statement read.

The withdrawal of the emergency temporary standard "does not affect the ETS's continuing status as a proposed rule," a US Department of Labor spokesperson told CNN in a statement.

Remember when that response was a bit different from the fascists, in response to lost court cases? And continues to this day? And the Chief Fascist shat freely and personally on Judges.

Clear as day who respects the rule of law and who wipes their asses with it.

Staying home for three years. Doing not one thing indoors other than work or home. I just can’t. I will snap.

still demand nursing homes, hospitals and doctor offices have their employees vaccinated? The Supreme Court said that ruling could stand.
