Today, Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) highlighted the Biden administration’s hypocrisy by calling out the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for trying to implement a permanent COVID-19 standard for health care industry employers, reviving the previously withdrawn emergency temporary standard—despite President Biden’s admission that the pandemic is over.Republican Leader Foxx’s Remarks:
‘“The pandemic is over.’ That’s what President Biden declared in an interview on 60 Minutes.
“OSHA clearly hasn’t gotten the memo or it wouldn’t be attempting to revive a COVID-19 emergency temporary standard regarding health care workers and seeking to make it permanent.
“Our health care industry is strained enough as it is without the Biden administration demanding additional burdensome COVID-19 requirements.
“This regulation is a perfect example of the Left’s hypocrisy.
“President Biden can’t have it both ways; pretending there is a permanent pandemic when he wants to further his own emergency powers and declaring it’s over when he wants to tout his accomplishments.
“It’s time to let our medical professionals work in peace, instead of having to jump through these unnecessary hoops. After all, the President said it himself, 'the pandemic is over.’”
