Are the vaccine mandates about public health or politics? That’s an easy one. Here’s the report from Darragh Roche at Newsweek:
President Joe Biden's new vaccine
mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who
work for Congress or the federal court system.
Biden issued two executive orders on Thursday requiring vaccination against
COVID for federal workers and contractors who work for the federal government.
He also asked the Department of Labor to issue an emergency order requiring
businesses with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated
or tested on a weekly basis.
However, Biden's order on federal
workers applies to employees of the executive branch. The House of
Representatives and the Senate belong
to the separate legislative branch, and the courts to the judicial branch of
the federal government.
