Federal judge blocks Biden vaccine mandate for health care workers nationwide
The judge said 'indefinite states of emergency' pose 'grave risks' to civil liberties
By Jon Brown | Fox News

A federal judge in Louisiana issued a nationwide preliminary injunction Tuesday against President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers.

Judge Terry A. Doughty in the U.S. District Court Western District of Louisiana ruled in favor of a request from Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry to block an emergency regulation issued Nov. 4 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that required the COVID shot for nearly every full-time employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor working at a wide range of healthcare facilities receiving Medicaid or Medicaid funding.

Louisiana was joined in the lawsuit by attorneys general in 13 other states.

Doughty argued in his ruling that the Biden administration does not have the constitutional authority to go around Congress by issuing such a mandate.


"If the executive branch is allowed to usurp the power of the legislative branch to make laws, two of the three powers conferred by our Constitution would be in the same hands," he wrote. "If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.

"During a pandemic such as this one, it is even more important to safeguard the separation of powers set forth in our Constitution to avoid erosion of our liberties," he added.

Landry praised the ruling, saying in a statement: "I applaud Judge Doughty for recognizing that Louisiana is likely to succeed on the merits and for delivering yet another victory for the medical freedom of Americans. While Joe Biden villainizes our healthcare heroes with his 'jab or job' edicts, I will continue to stand up to the President's bully tactics and fight for liberty."

Doughty's ruling echoes one from U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, who issued a 32-page order on Monday blocking the Biden administration from enforcing their vaccine mandate on health care workers in 10 states.

Even better in the last hour.............. Federal judge blocks Biden vaccine mandate for health care workers nationwide. Judge Terry A. Doughty in the U.S. District Court Western District of Louisiana ruled in favor of a request from Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry to block an emergency regulation issued Nov. 4 by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that required the COVID shot for nearly every full-time employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor working at a wide range of healthcare facilities receiving Medicaid or Medicaid funding.

I :heart; Q

Individual medical institutions will still require being vaxxed for a job. All the convention centers and theaters require them. Masks are mandatory.
But, as always, the repiglicans say no interfering with businesses.....and then try to impose their agenda.
Leading to yet more needless, preventable sickness and death.
Period

It's a democratic hoax

We should definitely ban all vaccine requirements for everything. Health care workers, school age children, and members of our armed forces should be all vaccine free across the board.

Nope...you fucking hypocrite!

They get their choice.

You know your mantra...'my body my choice'!

Stop being a douche bag hypocrite!

As for children...that's their fucking parents choice.

Look, FK is fucking proving himself stupid again. I said ban vaccine requirements for all vaccines. That means that there is a choice to do it or not. Idiot.

Anyhow, fuck public health. I am all for stupid people paying consequences for being stupid. Though it is unfortunate for children with stupid parents I suppose.
