Senator Marshall Statement on OSHA Pausing COVID Vaccine Mandate

Statement

U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. issued the following statement after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suspended implementation and enforcement of their COVID-19 vaccine mandate for employers with more than 100 employees pending future developments in the litigation. The suspension follows the Fifth Circuit Court putting a stay on Joe Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate last week.

"While I am pleased with the actions taken by the court and that OSHA has subsequently suspended President Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate for now, I will continue fighting to put a full stop to his efforts to fire Americans for choosing to not get the vaccine," said Senator Marshall. "Joe Biden's mandate is slap in the face to so many people, including our essential workers, who answered the call last year. These are real people working to feed their families and pay their mortgages. We are going to do everything in our power to fight for Kansans who are rightfully concerned and uncertain about their futures."

Support for Senator Marshall's pledge to oppose ALL efforts to implement and enforce Joe Biden's vaccine mandate particularly on upcoming spending measures considered by the U.S. Senate has grown to include over a dozen Senators with the additions of Senators Rand Paul (KY), Marco Rubio (FL), and James Lankford (OK). In their letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Senators said in part,

"…President Biden is waging a cruel campaign to punish unvaccinated Americans--depriving them of their ability to provide for their families. This is nothing short of immoral. There are so many humane ways to defeat this virus. Depriving law-abiding citizens of their livelihood must not be included among them… To that end, please be advised (many weeks in advance of the current spending period, which ends on December 3, 2021) that we will not support--and will use all means at our disposal to oppose--legislation that funds or in any way enables the enforcement of President Biden's employer vaccine mandate. Nor will we vote for or support cloture on any continuing resolution in the absence of language protecting Americans from this action.
