Appeals Court Affirms Stay on Biden's Vaccine Mandate
Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet
Last Saturday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay
against the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for private
businesses with 100 or more employees. On Friday night, the court
affirmed its decision, as reported by Dan Whitcomb for Reuters.
"The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld the ruling despite the Biden administration saying on Monday that halting implementation of the rule could lead to the deaths of dozens or even hundreds of workers," Whitcomb wrote.
The mandate was set to go into effect on January 4, but employers, employees, organizations, and several states brought suit almost immediately.
One of the attorney generals involved in bringing the suit, Texas' Ken Paxton lauded the ruling over Twitter. Read more and see tweets here.
