Rep. Thomas Massie pointed out an inconvenient truth regarding President Joe Biden’s OSHA COVID-19 vaccine mandate that has to do with simple arithmetic: “If Biden’s OSHA workplace mandate covers 100 million people and 30% opt for weekly testing, that’s 30 million additional test kits per week. Test kits are already occasionally unavailable in stores. Imagine the shortages that would result from the mandate if it’s not invalidated”:

It was pretty clear from the beginning that this was going to be a problem, too:
The availability of these tests was one of the 1st things I questioned when this rolled out.
Another question I have is if those who are jabbed can still catch & spread COVID why are they not also being tested weekly alongside those who have chosen not to get the jab? https://t.co/UZBX4vRd4d

Maybe all the tests are on all those ships anchored off California?
And the new kits can't be delivered by jobless contract truckers and postal workers. https://t.co/uVrEdkC4aR

There’s also the constitutionality of the mandate to consider, of course:
Anyone who believes a U.S. President can unilaterally impose a medical treatment on all Americans as a condition of employment is constitutionally illiterate and morally bankrupt.

Massie also retweeted this video of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pointing out that the need for boosters makes the vaccine mandate an ongoing issue:
DeSantis: “Those individuals who have gone through a normal vaccination series for COVID—you will be determined to be unvaccinated very soon…They’re gonna to tell you: ‘You have to get a booster, otherwise you could face loss of employment’…This is just the tip of the iceberg.” pic.twitter.com/hGe5t4YJ8O

Massie also pointed out OSHA’s face covering mandate is also not based on science, at least according to what OSHA requires for masks and tuberculosis when compared to COVID-19:
COVID face coverings are the only government mandated safety equipment or medical devices for which there are no specifications or certifications.
But rest assured, their design and application is prescribed by highly vetted practitioners of political science. https://t.co/vwdxCkhtWH
