A federal judge in Missouri has issued a temporary hold on the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors in 10 U.S. states while litigation plays out.
"This afternoon, we obtained a preliminary injunction against the vaccine mandate on federal contractors, halting enforcement of that mandate in Missouri and the other states in our coalition."
Schmitt and Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, both Republicans, on Oct. 29 co-led the 10 states in suing the Biden administration over the mandate, calling it "Unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise."
A nationwide preliminary injunction is already in place blocking the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for federal contractors, after a federal court in Georgia on Dec. 7 granted the injunction in a separate seven-state lawsuit led by Georgia.
The court had decided to block the mandate for the whole of the United States because a national trade organization-Associated Builders and Contractors-was granted permission by the court to intervene in the case as a plaintiff.
The COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees and contractors was otherwise going to take effect on Jan. 4, 2022.
Another separate ruling on Nov. 30 blocked Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors in three states-Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
