Lies. Yes goog can fire people for this, but no there is no order, regulation, or rule. The government contractor thing is also on hold. I do not have a link for that, but there is no OSHA requirement period.
Most US employees will be subject to vaccine requirements as a result of President Joe Biden’s executive order.
By January 18, companies with 100 or more employees must ensure that their employees are fully vaccinated or regularly tested for Covid-19.
Litigation Update
On November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA's COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) ("ETS"). The court ordered that OSHA "take no steps to implement or enforce" the ETS "until further court order." The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit now has jurisdiction over ETS challenges and DOL has filed a motion to lift the stay. While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation. Note that the comment period is separate from the litigation.
