EPPC scholars Roger Severino, Rachel N. Morrison, Dr. David Gortler, and Dr. Aaron Kheriaty this week submitted a public comment opposing finalization of OSHA’s rule that would mandate COVID-19 vaccination in workplaces.
On January 13, the Supreme Court held that OSHA acted without Congressional authority when it issued an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requiring the vaccination or testing of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees during the era of COVID. As part of the ETS, which would expire in six months, OSHA issued an interim final rule that, once finalized after receiving public comments, would bind employers and employees indefinitely.
