HOUSTON – Two dozen Republican attorneys general warn the White House of imminent legal action if a proposed coronavirus vaccine requirement goes into effect for up to 100 million Americans.
The letter sent Thursday is the GOP’s final resistance to the sweeping new federal vaccine requirements for private sector employees, healthcare workers and federal contractors announced earlier this month by President Joe Biden. The requirement, which must be issued by a regulation of the occupational safety and health administration, is part of a comprehensive effort to contain the increasing COVID-19 delta variant.
Prosecutors, led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, described Biden’s plan as “catastrophic and counterproductive.” They wrote: “If your government does not change course, the undersigned prosecutors will seek all available legal means to hold you accountable and uphold the rule of law.”
In addition to South Carolina, the letter was signed by attorneys general in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio. Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
WAILUKU, Hawaii – Proof of vaccination is now required for patrons planning to sit in Maui bars and restaurants.
