The White House fearmongering over the Omicron variant appears to have influenced a judicial review of the federal vaccine mandate. Perhaps, this explains part of the fear-porn motive.  [Court Opinion pdf Here]

More than two dozen legal challenges to the federal vaccine mandate for employers over 100 employees were consolidated into the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio.  That federal appeals court has reinstated Biden vaccine mandate for U.S. workers.

OHIO – A federal appeals court has reinstated the Biden administration’s vaccine and testing requirement for private businesses that covers about 80 million American workers.

The ruling by the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati lifted a November injunction that had blocked the rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which applies to businesses with at least 100 workers.

In the decision Friday, the 6th Circuit noted that OSHA has historical precedent for using wide discretion to ensure worker safety and “demonstrated the pervasive danger that COVID-19 poses to workers—unvaccinated workers in particular—in their workplaces.”

[…] “COVID-19 is spreading in workplaces, and workers are being hospitalized and dying,” the Justice Department argued in a court filing on Friday. “As COVID-19 case numbers continue to rise and a new variant has emerged, the threat to workers is ongoing and overwhelming.”

[…]  OSHA, which polices workplace safety for the Labor department, developed the vaccine and testing requirements under emergency powers that allow the agency to shortcut the normal rulemaking process, which can take years. OSHA can issue an emergency workplace safety standard if the Labor secretary determines a standard is necessary to protect workers from a grave danger.

The White House has repeatedly argued that Covid presents a grave danger to workers, pointing to the staggering death toll from the pandemic and rising Covid infections across the U.S. (read more)

Was the judicial branch influenced by a highly political medical establishment pushing the administration talking points that Omicron will kill people?   It would appear from the appeals court ruling [pdf here]; the answer is yes.

How do we know the U.S. medical establishment is politically motivated on behalf of their allies in Big Pharma?

Consider this recently released email from NIH Director Francis Collins:

A Nobel Prize winner and two renowned epidemiologists from Harvard and Oxford University refute the COVID-19 narrative as pushed by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the NIH.

What is the response from the NIH?  To get someone to quickly to publish something, anything, that will “take down” the premise of their educated argument.

That my friends, is the essence of political motivation in the medical and scientific community.

The courts are staking their conclusions on a flawed predicate belief that national health services are operating in the best interest of the public health.  As a result of that false assumption, they trust the government to be looking out for the people.

“And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them.”…

…As a result, this long national nightmare continues.
