Biden's Labor Department is pulling its COVID vaccine mandate

Tuesday, Joe Biden's Department of Labor rescinded the COVID-19 vaccination or testing requirement for U.S. companies employing 100 or more people after the Supreme Court blocked the regulation.

The Supreme Court blocked the OSHA mandate for companies with at least 100 employees earlier this month while allowing federal vaccine requirements for employees working in healthcare facilities.

The third major vaccine rule was implemented under the Biden administration and required federal government contractors to give their employees vaccines.

The courts generally have found the federal government lacked the authority to mandate vaccination, but state and local governments have been permitted to impose mandates.

The decision handed down by the Supreme Court last Thursday blocked President Joe Biden's vaccine-or-test mandate requiring private employers with 100 or more employees to comply.

Despite this, the high court did allow a vaccine mandate to go into effect for employees working in health care facilities receiving federal funds.

The court heard testimony from Republican states and business leaders who say Biden's mandate about businesses with over 100 employees overstepped federal authority.
