Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor is among 24 AGs across the country demanding that President Joe Biden drop his sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates, or face legal actions. The AGs sent a letter to the Biden administration, warning that litigation will follow the implementation of the proposed mandate on private-sector employees to either get a COVID-19 shot, submit to weekly testing, or be fired. >> More on this: Oklahoma Attorney General preparing litigation against Biden over vaccine mandatesBiden announced expansive rules mandating that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated. Biden is also requiring vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test out. That covers several million more workers, the Associated Press reported.>> More on this: President Biden announces sweeping new vaccine mandates impacting 100 million workersThe coalition of AGs outlined their legal and policy concerns with the mandate, which will be carried out through an Occupational Safety and Health Act emergency temporary standard, a news release stated. “Federal overreach has been a consistent problem, and President Biden has now taken it to the next level,” O’Connor said. “Biden’s national vaccine mandates are a clear abuse of power, and if he doesn’t change course, me and my attorneys general colleagues are prepared to sue to defend the rights of Oklahomans.”The AGs raised concerns about the expansion of a federal regulatory agency and public perception of the order’s constitutionality. They said they are also concerned about the potential to drive people out of the workforce, particularly healthcare workers.Oklahoma was joined on the letter by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming, according to the news release.
