Supreme Court blocks Biden's vaccine mandate for U.S. workers, allows mandate for healthcare workers The Biden administration's sweeping attempt to mandate vaccines for Americans took a hit Thursday
Updated: January 13, 2022 - 3:16pm
In a Thursday afternoon ruling, the Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's OSHA vaccine mandate that would apply to American workers.
The court allowed a separate policy, that requires vaccinations for most health-care workers at facilities that receive Medicaid and Medicare funding, to stand.
The court's majority was doubtful that the administration possesses the legal authority to impose a workplace vaccine mandate, which would have accounted for about 80 million employees. The healthcare worker mandate, on the other hand, accounts for about 17 million U.S. healthcare workers.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh were the only members of the court to find themselves in the majority on both decisions. All three Democrat-appointed justices dissented from the decision to block the workplace vaccine mandate. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Barrett dissent from the decision to allow the healthcare worker mandate to take effect.
Last Friday, the justices heard nearly four hours of oral arguments on both policies before arriving at their decisions this week.

Comment from Simone Gold of AFLDS received via eMail:
Dear Patriot,
Late last week the Supreme Court heard arguments regarding the Covid mandates.
AFLDS filed a “friend of the Court” brief that provided robust research and hard data to the Solicitor Generals and the Justices.
From their arguments it's obvious that they didn't read it.
We were disheartened to hear the Supreme Court Justices ask such factually inaccurate questions and the Solicitor Generals not inform the Justices of the science.
While surprising, we take it as a lesson and will adjust our approach.
It was shocking to hear Justice Sotomayor make patently false statements regarding infection rates and severity. In addition to obviously not reading the submitted brief, it appears that she has also never read the Constitution. Our Bill of Rights guarantees individual’s human liberty - whereas she literally compared a human being to a machine.
Her words were so disturbing that the internet and mainstream media exploded with criticism of her.
Together we are turning the tide of awareness. AFLDS is providing people with the accurate information they are not getting elsewhere.
Together we are providing people in need with safe, effective, alternative treatment options.
Thank you for your continued support.
