emergency temporary standard (ETS)

With this being from OSHA will the USPS be required to comply?

It's going to be a lean Christmas if employees quit in large numbers due to this bullshit.

Not exactly a deep pool of talent to draw from out there to backfill the vacated positions.

Dumbasses.

The breaking point is getting closer every day. Have these fools truly forgotten history? The French slaughtered the aristocracy with farm tools.

As well as implementing a strict COVID “vaccine” policy, OSHA’s emergency standard requires affected employers to ascertain the COVID jab status of every employee and to “obtain acceptable proof” of it, developing and maintaining a “roster of each employee’s vaccination status.”

Employers must also report “work-related COVID-19 fatalities” and hospitalizations directly to OSHA.
(But not vaccine related injury)

The standard comes into effect this Friday, at which point it will be published in the Federal Register. OSHA has included a 60-day window for employers to comply with the measures, making January 4, 2022, the effective deadline.

According to OSHA, the impetus behind the requirement is that “[t]he nation’s unvaccinated workers face grave danger from workplace exposure to coronavirus, and immediate action is necessary to protect them.”
It's for your protection.

An OSHA official said that the agency “estimates that this rule will save thousands of lives and prevent over 250,000 hospitalizations during the six months after implementation,” but provided no supporting evidence for the claim.

Meanwhile the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) continues to rack up injury and death reports following reception of the COVID-19 shots.

the statement you made in italics - It's for your protection. - that is what is ultimately even more concerning in all of this craziness and why this has to, absolutely must be, the very line in the sand for people whether you agree with the vax or not. Its about the mandate... This covid and the mandate is just a means to an end - a trial balloon of one mandate of the many mandates to come "for your protection"

Edited To Add OSHA FAQS now up

I wonder when it will come out who bought shares of the vaccine providers' and how those new share holders are related to "the Big Guy" an other politicians pushing hard for these mandates.

LEAKED CDC EMAILS: We Must Change Definition of Vaccine Thanks To “Right-Wing Covid-19 Deniers”

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/...ng-covid-19-deniers/

It is recently being learned by many that officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) changed the definition of “vaccine” in September 2021 to no longer include the shot granting actual immunity from the targeted virus. A recently fulfilled FOIA request is helping give the American people more insight as to why the CDC decided to massively redefine such an important word in the English languge.

Who do officials at the CDC blame for the change in defind terminology? “Right-wing covid 19 pandemic deniers,” of course. According to Technofog:

The prior CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination (August 26, 2021):

Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.

The CDC Definitions of Vaccine and Vaccination since September 1, 2021:

Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

The redefinition of the word back in September drew criticism in some circles, with United States Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) being one of the first to point out the orwellian language change at the time.

Documents just obtained by Technofog appear to confirm the suspicions of many that the CDC’s definition change may have had political motivations with one August 2021 e-mail showing a CDC employee complain that “Right-wing covid-19 deniers are using your ‘vaccine’ definition to argue that mRNA vaccines are not vaccines…”

Remember LTC Theresa Long? I posted a lengthy article regarding a deposition she submitted based on her findings and research on Army Aviators. Seems like she made it in front of Congress...

Army Surgeon Grounds Several Newly Vaccinated Pilots After They Develop Serious Chest Pain

“I believe the COVID vaccine is a greater threat to soldiers’ health and military readiness than the virus itself,” U.S. Army aerospace physician Lt. Col. Theresa Long said Tuesday.

Long, who is senior flight surgeon at the U.S. Army Flight School at Fort Rucker, Alabama, was addressing a roundtable discussion put together by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin). She said she was speaking under federal military whistleblower protection.

This is Senator (and physician) Bill Cassidy questioning Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the CDC. Like seemingly everyone offering Congressional testimony, Dr. Walensky is very adept at side-stepping direct questions. It might be of some concern that she appears to know very little about the agency she directs.

The race to the bottom of truck choices starts with Ford. Ford becomes the first US automaker to mandate the vaccine.

Well, fuck Ford too then.

I already disliked Ford, anyway. Now it's just reinforced a bit more.

That lady is straight up slimy. She doesn't even attempt to answer the question honestly.

Lawsuits Pile Up After White House Sets COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Deadline

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...n7IbtNt%2Bsb8wmcG9sy

Numerous lawsuits have been filed against the Biden administration over vaccine mandates for private employers and federal contractors that are set to be published in the federal register on Nov. 5.

The attorneys general of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee announced they would take legal action against the White House over the rule and filed a lawsuit (pdf) in a bid to challenge President Joe Biden’s rule affecting federal contractors.

https://ag.ky.gov/Press%20Rele...%20FINAL%20FILED.pdf

The Biden administration unveiled details of its federal COVID-19 mandate on Nov. 4, providing a Jan. 4, 2022, deadline for federal contractors and health care employees who work at Medicare- and Medicaid-funded facilities. At the same time, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a rule requiring businesses with 100 or more employees to make sure all workers are vaccinated or submit to weekly testing, affecting tens of millions of workers.

“Unless we intervene, federal contractors in Tennessee will be forced to make sense of the mandate’s many inconsistencies that require their entire workforce be vaccinated or face potential blacklisting and loss of future federal contracts,” Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III said in a statement.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said that he takes “the issue of federal overreach seriously,” while Ohio AG Dave Yost joined the lawsuit, saying that “the Biden administration may not do whatever it wants, however it wants.”

“The Constitution lays out critical rules by which the executive branch must operate,” Yost said. “Congress and the states have their own powers, which the administration can’t just take over because it wants to.”

Despite the widespread pushback, Biden framed the issue as a choice between getting more people vaccinated or prolonging the COVID-19 pandemic, although numerous studies—including some published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—have shown that vaccines don’t prevent transmission of the virus.

“While I would have much preferred that requirements not become necessary, too many people remain unvaccinated for us to get out of this pandemic for good,” Biden said in a statement.

In addition to the three attorneys general, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said he would sue the administration over its mandate on private employers.

“The federal government does not have the authority to unilaterally force private employers to mandate their employees get vaccinated or foot the bill for weekly testing,” Schmitt wrote in his statement, adding that a number of businesses in Missouri have voiced concerns about the rule.

“We will be on file first thing tomorrow morning to halt this illegal, unconstitutional attempt by the Biden Administration and the federal government to impose their will on thousands of Missouri businesses and millions of Missourians,” Schmitt added on Nov. 4. “Missouri will not roll over, we will not back down—we will file suit imminently.”

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, who filed a lawsuit against Biden’s mandates after he announced them in early September, said he would sue the administration on Nov. 5, according to a statement.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a Republican, announced via a Twitter video that her administration would join a lawsuit against the mandate, which she described as unconstitutional.

The Republican National Committee also said it would sue the administration and characterized the rule as an “attack on front-line workers, first responders, small businesses, and the rights of the American people.”

^^^^^^^^^^^
Rest assured the SEC is watching. Any untoward activity will be noted. Besides a company like Pfizer has plenty of other business.

The federal Covid vaccine mandate (not the OSHA one) has been pushed back to Jan 4, 2022 instead of December 8, 2021.

I guess President Shit-My-Pants finally saw that firing thousands of people two weeks before Christmas might not look good

^^^Happy New Year!
