Judge blocks Biden administration’s vaccination obligation for third time

For the third time, an American judge has blocked the obligation of vaccination for a certain profession. This time around, a Georgia federal judge temporarily suspended the vaccination requirement for employees of companies doing business with the government.

The ruling applies to all of America, Judge Stan Baker said, because otherwise it could be confusing.

It was the third consecutive victory for the Republican-led states. They oppose the pandemic measures of President Biden’s administration. Previously, a judge had also ruled out the mandatory vaccinations announced for nursing staff and for companies with more than a hundred employees.

Judge: Biden goes too far

The Georgian judge, appointed by former President Trump, acknowledged “the tragic toll” that the coronavirus pandemic has imposed on his country and the world by giving reasons for his verdict.

“But”, he added, “Even in times of crisis, the court must respect the law and ensure that all parts of power adhere to the rules of the Constitution.”

The judge ruled that President Biden had done everything possible and should have involved Congress in his decision to impose vaccination obligations on the private sector.

Clap for the pandemic response policy

The prosecutor, who had brought the case on behalf of three states and a number of companies, said after the ruling: “The rule of law won and our freedom was protected. When a president violates his authority, the law is happy to stop him. “Shout when he abuses his power.”

Mandatory vaccinations are an important part of the Biden administration’s pandemic policy. As part of his “Out of the Pandemic” program, Biden is trying to persuade the 80 million Americans who qualify for a vaccine but have not yet been vaccinated, through vaccination requirements, to do so. vaccinate.

With the decision, the three vaccination obligations linked to the private sector are now frozen for the moment. However, there are still vaccination obligations for government and military personnel.
