“Vaccine Mandate” Put on Hold Following a Ruling by a 3-judge panel of the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals

Washington DC, the United States’ “vaccine mandate”* was put on hold following a ruling by a 3-judge panel of the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals. The panel concluded that the mandate, an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that generally applies to companies and organizations with 100 or more employees, is “staggeringly overbroad” and does not sufficiently account for variations in working conditions and environments. The panel concluded that the policy should be suspended until the case can be argued in court. Lawyers from the Biden Administration appealed the initial panel ruling, arguing that a delay in implementing the mandate could result in many unnecessary deaths, but the judges upheld the initial decision. In its ruling, the panel described the policy as “fatally flawed” and indicated that lawsuits aiming to overturn it “are likely to succeed on their merits,” which suggests that the White House could face an uphill battle to institute the mandate in January.

Washington DC, the Biden administration  on November 5 released an interim final rule regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for private employers with 100 or more workers in an effort to increase vaccination rates among the US population. The next day, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans granted an emergency stay of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) temporary emergency rule that employees of those companies be fully vaccinated by January 4 or be required to undergo weekly testing, although it is unclear whether the stay is applicable nationwide or only in those states under the court’s jurisdiction.* According to the 3-judge panel, the petitioners bringing the request—including 5 states, all led by Republican governors, and various companies—”give cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate.”
