Arizona attorney general asks judge to block COVID-19 testing, vaccine rules in expanded complaint
Arizona Attorney General and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark Brnovich on Friday expanded his legal challenge to President Biden's vaccine or COVID-19 testing requirements for workplaces, which have yet to take effect.
In the press release announcing his new complaint, Brnovich states that "millions of public university employees, federal employees, and contractors ... are now being forced to get their first round of the COVID-19 vaccine or be fired."
Biden issued executive orders last month requiring vaccines for employees at federal agencies and federal contractors.
But nobody needs to get a vaccine to comply with Biden's requirements for companies with 100 or more workers who are not federal contractors or workers. Employees at those companies have the choice of being tested regularly for COVID-19 in place of a vaccine, according to the limited details the administration released.
Once a vaccine has been administered, it can never be undone, said Brnovich, who is running for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate race next year. The COVID-19 vaccine mandate is one of the greatest infringements upon individual liberty, federalism, and the separation of powers by any administration in our countrys history.
