This latest ruling comes directly after a pair of District courts blocked the Biden administration from enforcing two different vaccine mandates that would require millions of American workers to get vaccinated.
The first from a court in Louisiana where a judge blocked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services from their vaccine mandate on healthcare workers. This ruling applies to all but 10 states nationwide, those states already blocked the mandate.
The second ruling came from Kentucky where a district court judge blocked the administration’s mandate requiring government contractors to get vaccinated. This ruling applies to Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee.
