White House tells businesses to proceed with vaccine mandate despite court-ordered pause

The White House on Monday said businesses should move forward with the requirements despite the court-ordered pause.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, considered one of the most conservative appellate courts in the country, halted the requirements Saturday pending review.
Republican attorneys general in at least 26 states have challenged President Joe Biden’s vaccine and testing requirements in five different U.S. appeals courts.
The Biden administration asked the court to lift the pause Monday evening, claiming it could cost dozens or hundreds of lives per day.
