Joe Biden received more bad news about his vaccine mandate.
The unwise, unsafe, and unconstitutional drug mandate was shot down by a federal judge after teachers in 24 states sued the federal government.
Biden wants to force teachers to take the injection in their arms or else destroy their means of living by terminating their employment. This includes teachers who are part of the federally-funded Head Start early education program.
The mandate also refuses to give individuals the basic right to a health or religious exemption.
U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty said the Biden administration unlawfully bypassed Congress with the mandate.
Workers in Head Start programs were given a deadline of January 31st.
Biden also mandates that students as young as 2 years old must be masked, including outdoors if they are “in close contact to others.”
This is a major victory for freedom-loving Americans.
The ruling impacts the following 24 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming and West Virginia.

Head Start is a federally funded program that promotes education for children under the age of 6 who are from low-income families.
Doughty, an appointee of then-President Donald Trump, wrote that the separation of powers is crucial to the country’s founding and quoted former President Ronald Reagan, who said “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
“If the Executive branch is allowed to usurp the power of the Legislative branch to make laws, then this country is no longer a democracy — it is a monarchy,” Doughty wrote.
Republican attorneys general who were among the 24 states involved in the lawsuit praised Doughty’s decision.
“This victory will help ensure that numerous Head Start programs will continue to operate rather than have to fire teachers and cut back services to children,” Alabama Attorney General Marshall said in a news release. “And this win will forestall the nonsensical and damaging practice of forcing masks on two-year-olds.”
It was not immediately clear whether the federal government would appeal the decision to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
