A Department of Justice (DOJ) memorandum claims that government and private corporations can mandate that employees be vaccinated against the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, even though federal law specifies otherwise.
An 18-page memorandum was issued July 27 to support President Joe Biden’s direction that federal employees be required to be vaccinated or face stringent testing and masking requirements turns around the interpretation of Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and its stipulations, regarding drugs that are issued under the emergency use authorization (EUA), which enables the Food and Drug Administration to approve experimental drugs to be administered under dire public health circumstances.
