Labor Secretary Insists OSHA COVID-19 Vaccine Rule Is Not a Mandate

Zachary Stieber  |  November 5, 2021


Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, during a media blitz on Thursday, said that the new Biden administration rule that requires private employees to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or get tested for COVID-19 on a regular basis is not a mandate.

“This isn’t a mandate—this is a vaccine or testing,” Walsh, a former mayor of Boston, said during an appearance on MSNBC.

What we want to do is just encourage people to get vaccinated, if they choose not to get vaccinated, we’re asking—they’re going to get tested and then, in the workplace, when they’re around other people, they’re going to wear a mask. This is not a mandate,” he added on CNN.  .  .

Hello boys and girls.....   Today's word for the day is contradictory.  Can you say that word?  It happens every day at the white house, and all the other good boys and girls who watch the white house have to scratch their heads in wonderment.

"Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me 'lucifer', 'cause I'm in need of some restraint.

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you.  Hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

Another "let's make a mayor a cabinet secretary even though he's utterly clueless on what the job entails" move on Biden's part.

How can there be fines without a 'mandate'?

The term 'mandate' reeks of Republican white supremacy.  You have to call it something else.

This buffoon Biden is putting OSHA in charge of enforcing this "rule."
My question is this: was OSHA one of the many executive branch departments that bought up millions and millions of rounds of ammunition during the Obama years? Is OSHA now - thanks to Obama - an armed, paramilitary entity like the IRS, Department of Agriculture, etc.?
