OSHA: “We Never Demanded Anyone Be Fired!”

They’re scared—they’re real scared of what they know is coming.

The COVID-19 narrative has crumbled like a house of playing cards made of recycled paper mâché—no one believes any of that nonsense anymore.

What comes now is the reckoning for all those bureaucrats who pushed draconian laws and experimental vaccine mandates on 84 million innocent Americans.

At the center of this bureaucratic morass is OSHA—the agency that drafted and enforced the Covid-19 vaccine mandates for workers.

These are the people who held 84 million Americans hostage with their jobs and livelihoods on the line—either get vaccinated or you will lose your job was the effective threat here.

Congressional lawmakers are now seeking answers from the agency, and during a recent hearing, they held OSHA Chief Doug Parker’s feet to the fire.

What followed was over an hour of obfuscation on the part of the OSHA head, who even went so far as to claim that OSHA ‘didn’t demand that anyone be fired.’

Doug Parker actually told the Congressional committee members that OSHA didn’t author and enforce these laws.

Does he think we are fools? You can watch the heated exchange between Parker and Reps. Mary Miller and Kevin Kiley below:

“Joe Biden tried to use OSHA to fire 84 million Americans from their jobs unless they got the COVID vaccine or showed medical paperwork to their employers. OSHA does NOT have the power to create an illegal vaccine mandate & fire Americans who say no,” Rep. Mary Miller said.

Taken directly from the OSHA page:

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is withdrawing the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard issued on Nov. 5, 2021, to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers with 100 or more employees from workplace exposure to coronavirus. The withdrawal is effective January 26, 2022.

Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard.

OSHA strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace.

Committee Chairman Kevin Kiley reminded the American people:

“The Biden Administration is rewriting the history of COVID. Today, the head of OSHA claimed  “We didn’t demand that anyone be fired” despite issuing a worker vaccine mandate for 84 million Americans that was struck down by the Supreme Court.

Previously, HHS Secretary Becerra claimed “we didn’t force anyone to do anything” despite imposing a toddler mask mandate and Education Secretary Cardona baldly denied his past support for student vaccine mandates.”

Simone Piccoli writes: “So, to be clear, despite the Supreme Court ruling against the vaccine mandate, OSHA is still pursuing the mandate, and it has now been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget.”

In case you missed it or are interested, you can watch the full hearing via this YouTube video below:

Last year, Forbes reported:

The mandate was written under emergency authority granted to the Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and would have required more than 84 million workers to get vaccinated for Covid-19, or pay for weekly testing, by Feb. 9.

Workers who chose not to get vaccinated would have been required to wear a mask while on the job site, per the rule. They also would have been on the hook to pay for masks and weekly tests.
