President Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 was blocked Thursday by a federal appeals court.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans rejected arguments that Mr. Biden, as the nation's chief executive, has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated.

The ruling maintains the status quo for federal employee vaccines. It upholds a preliminary injunction blocking the mandate issued by a federal judge in January 2022. At that point, the administration said nearly 98% of covered employees had been vaccinated. Opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment on federal workers' lives that neither the Constitution nor federal statutes authorize.

But a different panel, after hearing arguments, upheld Mr. Biden's position. Judges Carl Stewart and James Dennis, both nominated to the court by President Bill Clinton, were in the majority. Judge Rhesa Barksdale, nominated by President George H.W. Bush, dissented, saying the relief the challengers sought does not fall under the Civil Service Reform Act cited by the administration.

Thank you!

THANK GOD, that will save MANY LIVES from 'unexplained' sudden death!

From the time of the president’s order and the block, how many federal employee have either resigned, quit or were fired for reasons associated with this order?

It was a Draconian measure.

Lol, my body my choice only when it fits.

He said the pandemic was over. Do WTF?

Is that s hit still going on FFS!!!

Smells like mrna vaxed libs here. Yuck.

Good grief, are we still fighting this? And unfortunately, there are private companies with federal contracts that are continuing the mandates, regardless of the court striking them down

ABD BAŞKANI BİDEN,COVID-19'A KARŞI AŞILAMA EMRİ VERMESİ YÜZÜNDEN YARGILANMALIDIR.! BİR ÇOK İNSAN.,AŞI YAN ETKİLERİNDEN HAYATINI KAYBETTİ.!

And just like that no more vaccines! All political hubbub! Wondering why we don’t hear from Faucci bear anymore?

As he knew it would. Everything he's done has been a farce. Yet people still defend him. He was never serious about addressing covid.

The court is now a medical body? We have people to decide this with medical expertise. If you don’t want a shot get a new job. If you have medical issues get a not from your doctors. We spend more money defending dumb law suits.

🤡🤡🤡

...does he remember the pandemic is over?

when the federal court will repeal the covid vaccine mandate applied to only foreigners travellers and immigrants ? RepThomasMassie pass HR 185 to the senators

Society some people can not comprehend respect is a two way street and not one. Society as to such individuals they can not expect something they do not show or give (ie respect, care, concern, help, trust, etc)

POTUS okay society as it seems others want respect but will not show it, so in response, Biden let such individuals go unvaccinated but if they get sick they have to take personal responsibility (2) society wear masks if you like, don’t cares what others think, they are not you

Good. It’s unbelievable that we’re still talking about the stupid vaccines when they’ve been proven ineffective over and over again in every possible way. Stop. Honestly.

As it should be. My body my choice? Can't have it both ways!

No one should be told what to do with their bodies.

Oh

covid_clarity The replies in this thread are peak United States intelligence

Does this apply to military as well?

Should be the same for states!

I thought freedom was MY BODY MY CHOICE…so how is this not great news?

People need to stop being scared of Trump! Stand up against that sick man! All he knows how to do is lie cheat and threaten to get his way! You Trump supporters if you want to join Trump in prison it’s your decision! Get a taste of prison life! Sickos!

Trump thinks he is above the law! In his sick mind he think he can do what he wants and get away with it! He think because he was president nobody can touch him. He is trying to commit another riot if he is locked up! Lock him up!!!

Just a little late!!

Thank goodness! It's time to reverse all this crap.

Talk about “justice” moving slow. They are going to drop the “emergency” in May. Anyone still working for the Feds has been poked at least 5 times.

Yea, cuz what happened to my boby, my choices

clearly all these orders exceeded his authority. Needed a congressional LAW not an executive order. No dictators.

The vaccines don’t work.

It’s about time.

Dictator

As it should. These lefties fail to acknowledge that right now 84% of Americans are NOT up to date on their Covid boosters according to the CDC's own data! Basically, 84% of people don;t give a shit about Covid anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Too late though, guarantee that every federal employee has already had the minimum requirements for the shot.

Clot shot!

Good to see common sense beginning to prevail

Why are Americans dying younger than Europeans? Well here’s one example

Finally

It was never constitutional there was no reason to do it except to pull a power play on employees & companies beta test run to see how many people with mindlessly say yes but this could’ve just as easily passed had the wrong people been in office & adamant the push Vive la France

the only people that the government can force vaccine mandates would have been military;even that was rejected;because at the end of the day its an unproven vaccine;released for Emergency use only;(released 9 yrs early)At the core of the argument the vaccine prevents nothing.

Wr are still doing mandates of the experimental shot? With all the evidence that's public, how is this still a thing?

There is no valid explanation of still forcing people to get a shot that is not an actual vaccine. This is how most Amwricans feel now.

GOOD!!! Don’t be a GUINEA PIG!!

He swore an oath to uphold the constitution then violates it constantly without recourse. When will accountability begin for these crooks in the capital? Trump is the MockingJay!

Heads up: Never trust a corrupt government and media who collude by demanding you trust the science before there's actually time to study the science.

So women can make their own decisions on that too now?

Finally

Hahaha

This democrats are sick people and criminals.

The vaccine does NOT prevent the spread- the risk of side effects is not worth taking

Not gonna happen

They should have banned the mandate from the get go.

So no mandate for military or federal employees. Just shows how weak the vaccine is.

Yeah! Finally truth and justice win! The greatest national hoax since WMDs by Bush!

Good. The order was unconstitutional anyway.

No vaccine for anything 🤔

Of course it was, Federal officials know it was a man-made virus lab leak (and they know it was purposeful too, but can’t go that far in admitting COVID foul-play since they work for the Govt). But, Federal officials damn sure know better than getting the jab! 😂 💉💉

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

COVID wasn’t an accident; it was on purpose, planned decades ago, to spread virus around 2020 (hence why Bill Gates spent yrs in Africa working on vaccines), due to unsustainable population-levels, due to technology BG created; knowing computers/internet increased human lifespan:

Republicans can always rely on the 5th circuit to rubber stamp whatever the hell they want. good to know that our country's going to hell in a hand basket.

Good. Now can we do a story on all the people that were on Epstein list

'My body my choice'. Right Biden voters?

Big win 4 us, but just getting started. feds4medfreedom intends new suits for violations of members’ rights, including under RFRA and Constitution. Need justice 4 vax injured. As decision makes clear, many in government overstepped legal bounds, and we WILL hold accountable.

You all had better go get another booster maybe even two, before these fascists ban the vaccine all together and you wont be protected! Get boosted ASAP!

Another authoritarian executive order of the Biden regime thrown out. Biden has more executive orders thrown out by the courts than any President in US history.

But Novak Djokovic is still denied entry to the US? Explain, please.

Bc the vax does nothing…
