There is no guarantee the courts will allow this to move forward. The lawsuits against companies that ignore the stay would be ridiculous, and saying the POTUS said to ignore the court ruling would not be an excuse. There is no emergency anymore with vaccines available and a higher percentage of the country being vaccinated than not. This is crazy.

Biden Admin Tells Businesses To Ignore Federal Court Ruling That Halted Vaccine Mandate

The White House on Monday advised businesses to ignore a federal court’s temporary halt on the vaccine mandate, saying they should continue to abide by the mandate despite the legal ruling.

Last week, the White House announced a vaccine mandate run through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration – or OSHA – which would levy fines of up to $14,000 per violation for companies with more than 100 employees.

It is set to take effect on January 4th.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, responding to a petition filed by the Texas Attorney General, businesses, and several other states, temporarily blocked the administration’s coronavirus mandate, suggesting it raises “grave statutory and constitutional issues.”
