The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has asked federal officials for a temporary waiver from President Joe Biden’s CCP virus vaccine mandate due to potential staffing and supply chain shortfalls.

“Given the significant challenges that our nation’s supply chains are already experiencing, we respectfully suggest that the nation cannot afford the additional potential substantial harm that would be engendered if the ability of the Postal Service to deliver mail and packages is significantly negatively impacted,” Deputy Postmaster General Douglas A. Tulino wrote in the request to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), dated Jan. 4.
