The federal government says it is dropping a standard requirement that employers report any negative side effects employees may face as a result of mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations because it wants to promote those shots.

WND reported a little over a week ago that the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, at that time, released guidance that notes, "In general, an adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is recordable if the reaction is: (1) work-related, (2) a new case, and (3) meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7 (e.g., days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job, medical treatment beyond first aid)."
