New: U.S. Justice Department asks 6th U.S. Circuit Court to immediately lift stay on COVID vaccine rule reuters.com/article/health… from @tomhals
DOJ filing: "The Fifth Circuit questioned OSHA’s analysis in numerous respects, but the court did not meaningfully address OSHA’s comprehensive explanations, and it disregarded the deference owed to the agency’s evidence-based determinations."
DOJ: "The Fifth Circuit mistakenly suggested that the [vaccine rule] cannot be necessary to protect employees from a grave danger because OSHA did not act earlier. Dangers can evolve, as can the need for a standard and the ability to address dangers effectively."
