A coalition of 22 states, including Alaska, have formally petitioned the Biden Administration to cease its Covid shot mandate for healthcare workers and all related guidance. Even though the justification for the rushed mandate has disappeared, it remains in force.
The coalition of attorneys general filed a petition under the Administrative Procedures Act requesting the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services take immediate action to repeal its rule, which requires participating healthcare facilities to “develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that all staff are fully vaccinated for COVID-19.”
“My administration will continue to fight for the right of all Alaskans to make their own choices about medical care without unnecessary intrusion from the government,” said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy.
The petition charges that the objective of the Covid mandate is to “coerce the unvaccinated workforce into submission or cause them to lose their livelihoods.”
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had ordered many healthcare providers to force their employees to take the Covid jab, or risk losing federal Medicare and Medicaid funding. Specifically, the mandate required nearly every employee, volunteer, and third-party contractor working at 15 categories of healthcare facilities to be vaccinated against COVID and to have received at least a first dose of the vaccine prior to Monday, Dec. 6. The agency estimated 10.3 million Americans would be subject to the requirement.
“This kind of overreach into the personal, medical freedoms of the people of Alaska is wrong,” said Attorney General Treg Taylor. “We began the effort to fight this a year ago and will continue working to stop these unconstitutional mandates.”
The petition charges that the objective of the Covid mandate is to “coerce the unvaccinated workforce into submission or cause them to lose their livelihoods.”
“If CMS succeeds in coercing states to enforce the IFR against their own citizens, these healthcare workers will lose their jobs (or not return if they already have), states will lose frontline healthcare workers, providers, suppliers, and services, and America’s most vulnerable populations will lose access to necessary medical care,” the petition adds.
ALASKA WATCHMAN DIRECT TO YOUR INBOX
Additionally, the petitioners note that the jab mandate violates the states’ sovereign right to enact and enforce their laws and exercise their police power on matters such as compulsory vaccination and it fundamentally changes the deal under which they agreed to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Attorneys general from Arizona, Louisiana, Montana, and Tennessee led the effort to submit the petition with Alaska joining attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.

Thank you Governor Dunleavy for seeing thing through this covid mess created by liberals. Now can you get Dr. Zink on board? She puts out so much miss information but writes articles in here that say she hates miss information and then says it’s ok that she does it. Life is a two way street Ann Zink. you have to go both directions but not all at once. I’m against the covid jab and I shouldn’t be chastised because of not taking it.
I want to know why South Dakota isn’t on here, they didn’t even lock down during this whole thing.
I wondered the same thing Neil! Would be interesting to hear why Kristi Noem is not pushing to drop the mandate also.
I clearly recall a group of legislators who were against any protective measures for us lowly Alaskan denizens who toiled day to day beneath their ivory towers, even voting against a bill to offer protection sponsored then by Sen Lora Reinbold, we didn’t suddenly forget.
I agree Andrew. I remember when Dunleavy was traveling around the state encouraging people to get vaxxinated. Several places online report him encouraging people to get jabbed. I have a really hard time with people who were strongly encouraging others to get jabbed for a year to two years and then finally saying that the decision should be left up to the person. I wish that he would have left it at that all along. I seem to remember when the jabs first came, Dunleavy was wanting the choice to be the peoples choice; but, then a few months later he was traveling around the state encouraging the jabs even to kids. I was so surprised that he had flipped and started trying to get everyone jabbed. It was so disappointing. I am glad that Alaska is pushing to get the mandate dropped – a little too late since many Alaskans got the jabs – but, better late then never?.
SINK ZINK!
Dr. Mercola has a video on his website about the jabs. Please share this with people who might still not know the truth about the dangers of the jabs.
