Biden advisor Cedric Richmond defends the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees, which was halted by the 5th Court of Appeals this weekend. <blockquote>BILL HEMMER, FOX NEWS: "The Dallas Morning News" writes this: "What's clear is that any company found to be in violation of the new mandates could put many companies already struggling during the pandemic out of business." So, if you win on the court challenge, do you upend the recovery? CEDRIC RICHMOND: Absolutely not. And if you look at our American Rescue Plan, we saved so many small businesses and big businesses alike. That is not the goal. And what the OSHA rule is, is by January 4th, you either you get the vaccination or you implement a testing regime. So, as described as a mandate, that’s just not true. And what we want is for people to get the vaccine. And remember, OSHA’s job is to protect workers. We lost 750,000 Americans due to this pandemic, 13,000 a day. And people should be able to go to work in a safe environment. And so, if that means doing something that is tough, that’s what this president does. He does courageous things over and over again, but it's always with the best interest of the public at heart. And so, this is where we are and we think we’re on solid legal grounds. HEMMER: OK. Let’s see where the case unwinds itself in the court.</BLOCKQUOTE>
