COLUMBIA, South Carolina (LifeSiteNews) — South Carolina’s Republican Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order Thursday to ensure that state agencies not only abstain from mandating COVID-19 vaccines for their own employees, but also cooperate with efforts to legally resist federal mandates.
Executive Order 2021-38 “prohibits all state agencies in his cabinet from requiring employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” and “directs every agency in state government to immediately notify the Office of the Governor and the Office of the South Carolina Attorney General upon receiving any communication or directives from the Biden Administration concerning COVID-19 vaccination requirements,” the governor’s office announced Thursday.
McMaster, who along with state Attorney General Alan Wilson is preparing to challenge in court the White House’s vaccine mandates on federal contractors and private employers with 100 or more workers, said Thursday he is “stunned at the overreach of the Biden Administration” in “forcing South Carolinians to choose between a vaccine and their jobs … I have never seen a president go out of bounds, out of bounds of the law as this one.”
