A “multi-circuit lottery” is expected to be held this week that will determine the fate of the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which set a Jan. 4 deadline for an estimated 84 million private sector workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested weekly and wear a mask.
At least 27 states, as well as private employers, religious organizations, and other groups, have filed lawsuits against the administration’s mandate claiming that it is exceeding its authority in issuing the mandate.
