From The Epoch Times:
A U.S. appeals court panel on Wednesday said it would not reinstate President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees, declining to overrule a lower court ruling that put the order on hold.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals declined to stay the lower-court injunction against the mandate by a 2-1 vote and asked both parties to file arguments in March.
The lower court’s injunction against the mandate was issued by Texas-based District Judge Jeffrey Brown last month, who ruled that Biden does not have the authority to impose such a mandate…
Government lawyers stated that federal law says the president “may prescribe regulations for the conduct of employees in the executive branch,” and that the act of becoming vaccinated is “plainly conduct.”
But plaintiffs said that conduct cited must be “workplace conduct” for Biden to regulate it.
“So, is submitting to a COVID-19 vaccine, particularly when required as a condition of one’s employment, workplace conduct? The answer to this question became a lot clearer after the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this month,” Brown said, referencing the Supreme Court’s finding in early January that Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses appeared to fall outside of his powers of authority…
Biden in September mandated that federal workers get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Nov. 22, or face disciplinary action or termination.
The president’s executive order removed the option for workers and contractors to choose not to get vaccinated unless they apply for a religious or medical exemption, as workers could previously choose not to get vaccinated for any reason.
“If a federal worker fails to comply, they will go through the standard [human resources] process, which includes counseling and face disciplinary action, face progressive disciplinary action,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said of the order, which impacts roughly 3.5 million government workers…
Currently, the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers is the only federal mandate in effect, with the Supreme Court allowing the rule to stand in January.

Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for all the workers that have lost their jobs due to refusing to accept the mandate requiring them to be vaccinated against their religious beliefs. I pray protection for them. I pray jobs for them to care for their families. I pray that their stand for life and religious beliefs blesses them and others abundantly. We grow through trials. Lord I pray abundant growth in the knowledge of you and following you more closely for each and every one of them. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen
