Energy companies and other businesses in Oklahoma are being urged by State Attorney General John O’Connor to ignore President Biden’s push for mandated COVID-19 vaccinations.
In a statement released Thursday, O’Connor pointed out there are no rules that require employers to mandate the vaccine for employees.
“I urge Oklahoma employers to disregard the Biden Administration’s wishes to the contrary. In the event federal emergency rules are issued that place such an unlawful demand upon employers, our office will be joined by other state Attorneys General across the country to quickly sue and seek an injunction against any implementation or enforcement,” he said.
In his statement, O’Connor said Oklahomans should have the right to make their own personal health decisions for themselves and their families.
“Employers that are mandating vaccines are unfortunately doing so upon their own initiative. Religious, medical, and personal exemptions should be uniformly approved by those employers at the very least.”
