All employees at right wing news network, Newsmax will be required to get fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or be forced to take weekly testing, as the network plans to implement a vaccine mandate.
According to an exclusive report from Mediaite, the network made the announcement in an email sent to staffers on Thursday and cited the implementation of Covid rules by Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) as its reason for instituting the mandate.
“To ensure that we are in compliance, we require that all vaccinated employees submit a copy of their vaccination card,” the email said.
The mandate is not likely to go over well with some of the network’s stars who constantly rail against vaccinate mandates.
Steve Cortez referred to mandates as an example of “dictatorial rule.”
“There is zero, and I mean zero, moral or ethical obligation for anyone to be compelled to get vaccinated,” Cortes said. He added that mandates are “insane workplace discrimination.”
