The court was later chosen via lottery to consolidate and oversee the numerous legal challenges over the rule.\u201cOn November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA\u2019s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) (\u2018ETS\u2019),\u201d the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\u00a0announced\u00a0on Wednesday morning. \u201cThe court ordered that OSHA \u2018take no steps to implement or enforce\u2019 the ETS \u2018until further court order.\u2019 While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.\u201dThe Daily Wire has launched a\u00a0petition\u00a0for Americans to sign and show support for The Daily Wire in its legal battle against the Biden administration.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
