DOJ says it will 'vigorously defend' Biden OSHA COVID-19 vaccine mandate in court

The Department of Justice (DOJ) says it will "vigorously defend" the guidelines laid out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which seek to enforce vaccine requirements on all businesses with 100 employees or more by Jan. 4, 2022.
Following the Friday decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold a stay on the OSHA order a DOJ spokesperson said the Biden administration would fight back.
"This decision is just the beginning of the process for review of this important OSHA standard," a spokesperson told Fox News. "The Department will continue to vigorously defend the standard and looks forward to obtaining a definitive resolution following consolidation of all of the pending cases for further review."
Last week, the appeals court granted an emergency stay on the OSHA orders, blocking them from taking effect.
The Biden administration countered the move and argued the court’s decision could "cost dozens or even hundreds of lives per day."
