Thanks. Could you also provide the link to the page this was on? I've been using https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/class_deviations.html 

and https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/ops/policy_vault.html  but the memo was on neither.

It is listed here:

The stay on OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard is dissolved.  OSHA can mandate employers with 100 or more employees be vaccinated or tested.

The Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit opinion, issued today, is viewable here:

Judge J. Larsen delivered the dissenting decision on pp 39-57.

The dissent opinion is very compelling regarding certain aspects of the OSHA rule, in particular to rules beyond the workplace (e.g., OSHA’s authority is limited to workplace safety - not remotely, home based work). In addition, it addresses weaknesses in OSHA’s determination of the existence of “grave danger”. Looks like there may be grounds for appeal…

Yup, SCOTUS sided with you here.  There is no precedent for a permanent alteration of our bodies as a requirement for work (my words).

It is also interesting that employees of companies with less than 100 employees don’t pose a “grave danger” to their fellow employees or to the general public.

From Newsweek magazine: “According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a total of 98.1 percent of companies in the U.S. employ fewer than 100 people, with companies with less than than 10 employees accounting for 78.4 percent.”

Reported “BY EWAN PALMER ON 9/10/21 AT 9:06 AM EDT”

There is a ton of general interaction with the general public by employees of small firms or self employed persons.

So why should only certain company employees face mandatory vaccination or be subject to testing or termination??

"....agencies should not: (1) take any steps to require covered contractors and subcontractors to come into compliance with previously issued Task Force guidance; or (2) enforce any contract clauses implementing Executive Order 14042."

 

So now presumably the concept of "unenforceable clauses" will be taught in CON 090.  And Pfizer has just admitted they had zero data proving that vaccinations slowed the spread of the virus which was the alleged impetus behind the entire EO.  This is why we can't have nice things.
