On Monday, Judge Matthew T. Schelp of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri issued an order of preliminary injunction barring the United States government from implementing and enforcing President Joe Biden’s mandate, enacted via Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regulations, that millions of workers at facilities that participate in Medicare or Medicaid take experimental coronavirus “vaccines.”
The injunction applies in the ten states that challenged the mandate in the case before the judge — Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
The decision in this case — Missouri v. Biden — could lead to the US government’s suspension of this mandate countrywide. Such was the outcome earlier this month in regard to Biden’s vaccine mandate for employees of companies with 100 or more employees after consideration of the BST Holdings v. OSHA case in the US Fifth Circuit Court.
