Governor takes over state's PRIVATE businesses, mandates vaccines for all

The governor of Washington has begun a process that could result in a statewide mandate for all workers to accept the experimental COVID-19 shots in order to be able to get a paycheck.

Across America already, universities, schools and hospitals have COVID vaccination mandates – even though as experimental treatments those actions remain under court challenge in many cases.

President Biden also has ordered the vaccinations for federal workers and the military. And companies with more than 100 employees.

But now Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in Washington has moved the agenda even further.

A report at the PostMillennial explains under Inslee, the Washington Department of Labor and Industries has proposed an emergency package of rules addressing the "emergency powers" given Inslee to respond to COVID-19.

"This package, which is an extension of current mandates, grants Inslee the ability to enforce COVID vaccine mandates on all private businesses in the state of Washington, according to elected officials," the report said.

It was a statement from Republicans Jim Walsh and Jesse Young of the legislature that revealed the actions.

"This mandate from L&I demonstrates a complete lack of transparency, which dilutes public trust in our government and fails to show the agency's good faith in promulgating the rule. The reality is this move by L&I is a blank check for the agency to enforce any of the governor's mandates or edicts on private employers," they wrote.

They explained if the state agency wants such a rule, officials should request it in "an open and transparent manner that allows public review and comment."

"Even if an opportunity for review and comment is not afforded the public, L&I's website should host the proposed rulemaking to grant easy access to the public," they said.

They also warned about arbitrary enforcement because of the proposal's vagueness.

"There is no clear case for 'good cause' or 'the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare' as the governor's proclamation already addresses these issues, making L&I's mandate arbitrary and capricious," they said. "We call on the governor to immediately repeal this mandate. If L&I wants to push this policy, it needs to go through the proper channels and work with the Legislature."

The report explained Inslee's recent vaccine mandate was unlike others in that it provided no opt-out for testing instead.

"His message was crystal clear, obey or lose your job," the report said. "Despite mass protests across the state with thousands of state workers in attendance, Inslee followed through on his orders and terminated thousands that decided not to comply."

The report warned, "If Inslee follows through on L&I's emergency rulemaking package, all businesses and employees in the state of Washington will be subjected to submitting proof of vaccination as a condition of employment."

Real Clear Policy earlier explained that Americans simply don't like Biden's orders and mandates.

The article pointed out that health authorities have openly misled the public, including top medical adviser Anthony Fauci's multiple flip-flops on COVID issues.

He deceived the public, for example, by saying the public didn't need to wear masks, then again when commenting about "herd immunity."
