This week, following Mr. Biden’s recent vaccine mandate decree, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a rule to implement Mr. Biden’s vaccine mandate. The rule requires 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 said “I don’t think the vaccine should be mandatory. I would not demand it to be mandatory.” For months, Mr. Biden said he did not have the power to impose nationwide vaccine mandates, saying such actions would be unprecedented, likely illegal, and an invasion of privacy.
Don’t believe me? Watch for yourself.
Now that Mr. Biden has reneged on that promise, nurses in my district are being laid off, causing hospitals to be short-staffed. Wildland firefighters and border patrol agents, 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.
My position on informed consent was stated in my tweet HERE.
Biden’s vaccine mandate will be costly to employees and small businesses in my district. Under the mandate, small businesses will have to pay thousands of dollars each week to pay for COVID-19 testing or face fines as much as $136,000.
In response, 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.
