The proposed rule impacts more than 80 million workers across the country. "The Biden administration's vaccine mandate is a serious overreach that will inflict further harm on an already hobbled economy. In the middle of a nationwide labor shortage, this heavy-handed mandate will place more undue burdens on job creators, cause more workers to lose their livelihoods, and escalate the supply chain crisis. It couldn't come at a worse time as we approach the holiday season. "What's more, this rule was hastily conceived and it is likely that OSHA does not possess the legal authority to impose such a sweeping mandate. I have long supported the vaccine's development and encouraged folks to consult with their doctor about the best medical decision. The issue here is a top-down government mandate that infringes on individual freedom. These are personal choices that should be made by patients not politicians." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |
