“There is nothing in the Constitution or the law granting the federal government the power to force anyone to inject medicine into their body as a condition of employment.”

WASHINGTON D.C. -  Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after introducing a joint resolution to terminate the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule requiring private employers with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccines or testing at their workplace.

“Mr. Biden lied to the American people when he previously claimed he would not support a vaccine mandate. Now that Mr. Biden has reneged on the promise, nurses in my district are being laid off, causing hospitals to be short-staffed. Wildland firefighters, who risk their lives, must now choose between their own personal health or being fired. With his unconstitutional OSHA employer vaccine mandate announced yesterday, Mr. Biden is putting our community further at risk, punishing hard-working Americans and encroaching on our freedoms.

Today, I introduced a joint resolution to terminate the OSHA vaccine rule. This is radical government overreach. As I have stated several times, there is nothing in the Constitution or the law granting the federal government the power to force anyone to inject medicine into their body as a condition of employment. The decision to get jabbed is a choice best made between a physician and the patient.

Mr. Biden’s decision mandating that Americans take a COVID-19 shot is dangerous, illegal, unconstitutional and a gross infringement on individual liberty,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
