Gov. Abbott challenges Biden administration’s vaccine mandate in federal court
According to this article on KXAN, by Jaclyn Ramkissoon
“AUSTIN (KXAN) — Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday filed a challenge to President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate in federal court.
The petition was filed with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. That’s the same court that temporarily halted the vaccine mandate earlier this month, and on Friday declined to lift its stay on the mandate.
Abbott’s petition calls on the court to cancel the mandate imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA’s rules require workers of any company with more than 100 employees to get vaccinated by the start of 2022 or test weekly.
The governor claims he is “uniquely entitled to judicial review,” because the mandate goes against an executive order he issued.”
