Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, selected simply because they work for employers with more than 100 employees, certainly falls in the latter category,\u201d the unsigned majority opinion stated.<br><br>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/supreme-court-blocks-biden-vaccine-mandate-for-large-employers-allows-healthcare-vaccine-requirement\/\">Supreme Court Blocks Biden Vaccine Mandate for Large Employers, Allows Health-Care Vaccine Requirement<\/a>\nThe majority opinion, issued without an author, argued that the mandate exceeded its statutory authority and raised separation of powers concerns \u201cin the absence of clear delegation from Congress.\u201d Moreover, the Court declared that the OSHA mandate was far too broad in treating all commercial sectors the same. While the order includes narrow exceptions for remote workers or those who work exclusively outdoors, \u201cthe regulation otherwise operates as a blunt instrument,\u201d the court said. \u201cIt draws no distinctions based on industry or risk of exposure to COVID\u201319.\u201d <br><br>\n\n(unquote)<br><br>\n\nImage courtesy <a href=\"https:\/\/cdllife.com\/2022\/supreme-court-nixes-vaccine-mandate-for-large-employers\/\">cdllife.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(quote) U.S. Supreme Court blocks Biden vaccine-or-test policy WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) &#8211; The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden&#8217;s COVID-19 vaccination-or-testing mandate for large businesses &#8211; a policy the conservative justices deemed an improper imposition on the lives and health of many Americans &#8211; while endorsing<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/supreme-court-blocks-federal-vaccination-mandate-2022\/\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,8,12],"tags":[21,36,74,59,24,35,23,62],"class_list":["entry","author-wcp-observer","post-697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-health-and-lifestyle","category-life-nature-society","category-us-and-world","tag-business","tag-events","tag-government","tag-health","tag-law","tag-news","tag-policy","tag-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldculturepictorial.com\/wcp-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
