DGovernment of the President of the United States Joe Biden In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, there have been legal setbacks in efforts to achieve widespread vaccination requirements. On Saturday, a federal appeals court in New Orleans suspended the execution of the corresponding government order in Washington. Employees of companies with more than 100 employees and certain employees in the healthcare industry will be affected. The government hopes that employers will require more than 100 million workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or undergo negative tests every week from January 4th.
The court argued that there are reasons to believe that these measures have “serious legal and constitutional issues.” Before making a final decision, the judges announced an accelerated review of the order, and the company and Republican-controlled states have filed lawsuits. The plaintiff’s Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry called the court order “an important victory.” This will prevent Biden’s “attacks on private companies.”
Who announced it a few days ago Vaccination requirements It is a core component of the Biden administration’s hopes to increase vaccination rates and defeat the pandemic. The vaccination campaign in the United States is progressing slowly. So far, 58% of approximately 330 million people have been fully vaccinated. In the summer, the United States was hit hard by the triangle wave-but now the number of infections has fallen sharply again.
