Joe Biden’s new OSHA rule requiring businesses to have their employees vaccinated against COVID is a dangerous overreach of federal power and opposed by Newsmax. The new OSHA rule is set to go into effect Jan. 4, 2022. It will require businesses of 100 or more to have all employees fully vaccinated or undergo weekly testing.
Newsmax has no vaccine mandate nor do we require it for employment.
We have informed our staff of the upcoming federal rule. At the same time we have notified staff we will create an easy opt-out for any employee who does not want to be vaccinated.
Under the rule, any employee who is not vaccinated will be tested for COVID on a weekly basis.
Newsmax is going beyond the OSHA rule to provide free weekly testing on its company premises. No Newsmax employee will be forced to receive the vaccine or be fired for not doing so.
Still, the federal work rules are not good and probably illegal. Newsmax has encouraged citizens, especially those at risk, to get immunized. As a company we have seen first-hand how those at risk have suffered without the vaccine. In 2020, Newsmax lost its contributor Herman Cain due to the coronavirus. And radio hosts like Dick Farrel, Phil Valentine, and Marc Bernier have all died as a result of not having taken the vaccine.
While the vaccine works, so does natural immunity.
Several studies show natural immunity provides even more protection than the vaccine. The major media has berated us to “follow the science,” but they ignore the science on natural immunity. Why?
And why are employees, for example, not given an exemption if they have strong antibodies?
At Newsmax we do not ignore the science nor the facts.
Original story is below…
Newsmax told its staff Friday it intends to comply with the Biden administration’s company vaccine mandate, flying in the face of its daily programming attacking the mandate. Newsmax employees will have to either submit their vaccination card by Jan. 4 or undergo weekly testing, according to a notice obtained by Mediaite.
The announcement came the same day the conservative network sidelined Emerald Robinson.
In response to the company’s mandate, Newsmax host and former Trump adviser Steve Cortes, tweeted on Friday that “I will not comply with any organization’s attempt to enforce Biden’s capricious and unscientific Medical Apartheid mandate. I will not be forced into the injection, nor will I disclose my vaccination status. No one should be pressured to choose between medical privacy and their job.”
