Employers were induced into requiring vaccination based on an impermissible OSHA rule that made vaccination mandatory. Acting as if the federal mandates eventually being stopped by the legal process means they did not shape private action is disingenuous.
The federal government’s response to Covid is one of the primary reasons we have seen such a huge backlash to the administrative state, culminating in Donald Trump’s purported current quest to dismantle it, ironically by using its own power to destabilize and destroy it. I say purported because whether Trump’s goal is to dismantle the administrative state or to reform it as a tool for himself, his friends, and his donors remains to be seen. It’s probably the latter.
- Izkata 2y agoOne of the things I've picked up on over the years, very few people have even heard of the OSHA mandate. It was: Every employer with 100+ employees would be required to have all employees get a COVID vaccination. From memory, the series of events was: * The initial mandate was issued * It got challenged in courts and blocked * Biden went on record speaking to the public, telling employers to do it anyway while they appealed * The appeal failed and it was blocked again * Only then did that administration drop it During that interim where it was being appealed my at-the-time-fully-remote company was hinting they might be following it.
