For the third time, a US judge has blocked the vaccination obligation for a certain profession. This time, a federal judge from Georgia has temporarily suspended the vaccination requirement for employees of companies that do business with the government.
The ruling applies to all of America, Judge Stan Baker said, because otherwise it could lead to confusion.
It was the third consecutive win for Republican-led states. They oppose the pandemic measures of President Biden’s administration. Earlier, a judge also brushed aside the announced mandatory vaccinations for healthcare staff and for companies with more than a hundred employees.
Judge: Biden goes too far
The Georgia judge, appointed by former President Trump, acknowledged “the tragic toll” the corona pandemic has exacted on his country and the world in motivating 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 gone out of his way and should have involved Congress in his decision to impose vaccination obligations in the private sector.
Clap for 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 has won and our freedom has been 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-fighting policy. Under his pandemic exit program, Biden is trying to persuade the 80 million Americans who qualify for a vaccine but have not yet been vaccinated, through vaccination obligations, to get vaccinated.
With the ruling, all three vaccination obligations related to the private sector have now been frozen for the time being. However, there are still vaccination obligations for government personnel and military personnel.
