OSHA Required Employers Who Mandate COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ to Report Injuries as Work Related, Then Rescinds Requirement

Fort Fairfield Journal, June 2, 2021
On April 20, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released guidance to employers who want to mandate the experimental COVID-19 gene therapy masquerading as a ‘vaccine’. In a “Frequently Asked Questions” section of its website, OSHA stated, “If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29CFR 1904.7.”
This was widely reported by many news sites, such as the online Catholic news service, LifeSite News1 and the online engineering and construction news site, Engineering News Record.2
This OSHA guidance meant if a person is required to get the COVID-19 shot as part of their job, then any illness or death that may result from that shot would be considered “work related” and the employer could be sued.
Bowing to political pressure and a desire to uphold the left wing’s COVID vaccine narrative, OSHA soon afterwards reversed its position and scrubbed that advice from their website. They replaced it with a much more politically correct, vaccine-friendly answer by stating, “DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker related side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.”3
What this means is OSHA is now making decisions on worker health and safety based on political narratives, not actual health and safety.
The COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ are really experimental gene therapy that have never been used in humans before. The current push is essentially part of a Phase III safety test being conducted on the general public en masse - also never done before in history
All three so-called ‘vaccines’ in the U.S. (Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson) are being allowed by the U.S. FDA under “Emergency Use Authorization” this means they have not received FDA approval certifying they are either ‘safe’ or ‘effective’ at providing immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
In the FDA’s “Emergency Use Authorization of Medical Products and Related Authorities”4 document, dated January, 2017 the agency states that recipients of drugs authorized by Emergency Use Authorization must be informed “of the significant known and potential benefits and risks associated with the emergency use of the product;” and “That they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product and of any consequences of refusing administration of the product.”
Medical products that have Emergency Use Authorization cannot be compelled to be used. If your employer is attempting to compel the acceptance of these products, they still can be sued for damages in a civil action.
