The Biden Administration is now asking a federal court to reinstate its proposed vaccine mandate after it was put on hold earlier in the month.
The Biden Administration is now asking a federal court to reinstate its proposed vaccine mandate after it was put on hold earlier in the month.
Why it Matters: The move shows that the Biden Administration isn’t giving up on its stated goal of imposing a mandate on businesses with more than 100 employees that would force them to ensure all their employees are vaccinated or face federal fines.
The move comes in the wake of a noticeable uptick in the number of reported covid-19 infections nationwide.
What People are Saying:
Jen Psaki has told businesses to move forward with mandating the vaccine.

Yet two court rulings have HALTED the mandate.
Since when is the Biden Administration above the law?
Biden’s vaccine mandate is unconstitutional. I’m fighting it every step of the way. I joined my colleagues at the Capitol to defend the Constitution, stand up for Americans, & support the rule of law.

Whether to receive the vaccine should remain a choice. Not be made a mandate. pic.twitter.com/NB54Ut5O47
The Fifth Circuit's decision blocking Biden's vaccine mandate gave courts a roadmap to throw out an endless array of laws by recasting any challenged regulation as "regulating inactivity." We should be alarmed. https://t.co/nU1LeU6FT1 pic.twitter.com/EQO1fpmP0b
