The US Federal Court of Appeals still BLOCKS Biden’s vaccination obligation for companies

Still nothing to do for Biden's obligation to vaccinate companies. A federal appeals court upheld the previous decision to suspend President Joe Biden's COVID vaccination requirement for companies with 100 or more workers. A new setback for the president who had appealed against the previous decision.

A group of three members of the United States Fifth Court of Appeals in New Orleans, with jurisdiction over Texas, Louisiana and parts of Mississippi, delivered their rulings in a new opinion released on Friday.

This blocks any action by the US Federal Department of Labor on vaccination obligations. It also indirectly allows the governor of Texas to continue his campaign against the vaccination requirement imposed by some companies in his state.

The Biden administration had appealed that failure to comply could have led to hundreds of further deaths from covid-19. However, District Court Judge Kurt Engelhardt in the majority opinion on the case wrote that the obligation is excessive and that there are "grave" doubts as to whether the rule is legal or constitutional.

“The obligation is incredibly broad,” the opinion states. "The mandate is a universal tool that makes almost no attempt to explain differences in the workplace (and workers)."

The appeal was mainly opposed by Texas, completely contrary to these obligations for companies. The respondent, the Lone Star State Attorney General Robert Henneke, had argued his position by saying that the legislation actually did more harm than good, because it would increase conflict in the workplace, and increase economic uncertainty instead. than helping the revival of the economy.
