Heritage Action: Vaccine Mandate Rightfully Struck Down as Unlawful Abuse of Power

Press Releases · Jan 13, 2022

WASHINGTON — Today, Heritage Action, a conservative organization with two million grassroots activists nationwide, released a statement from Executive Director Jessica Anderson concerning the Supreme Court’s decision to block President Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandate for private employers with 100 or more workers.

“Today the Supreme Court confirmed that President Biden’s vaccine mandate is, in fact, unlawful and a blatant abuse of power from the Biden administration. His mandate put the federal government in charge of the personal medical decisions of millions of Americans and destroyed every American’s privacy. The justices were right to take this threat to our individual liberties seriously and put an end to this authoritarian mandate.

Biden’s repeated power grabs will not go unanswered; Americans will continue to hold this administration accountable and they deserve a government that respects their rights."

Background:

  • The Heritage Foundation: "Congress Didn’t Give OSHA Authority to Impose Vaccine Mandates."

  • Heritage Action led our conservative activists to leave more than 20,000 public comments opposing the OSHA rule that would force thousands of businesses to require employees to be vaccinated.

  • In November, The Heritage Foundation announced that it filed its first-ever lawsuit challenging the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandate on businesses with at least 100 workers.

Heritage Action is a national grassroots organization with two million conservative activists nationwide. Heritage Action advances the policies of our partner organization, The Heritage Foundation, and works to make them a reality.
