Appeals Court Extends Block on Biden’s Vaccine Mandate

“A federal appeals court has kept its block in place against a federal mandate that all large employers require their workers to get vaccinated against the coronavirus or submit to weekly testing starting in January, declaring that the rule ‘grossly exceeds’ the authority of the occupational safety agency that issued it,” the New York Times reports.

“The ruling by the panel of the Fifth Circuit is unlikely to be the final word. Some challenges to the mandate are in other circuits, and the cases will be consolidated before a randomly chosen one of those jurisdictions. The Supreme Court is expected to eventually decide the matter.”
