4. Shifting to the proper year 2021, most of the directives never took effect, either blocked by lower courts or SCOTUS

The only one that 'stood' was the one that required medical providers who take money from Medicare/Medicaid to vaccinate their workers. There was also a Pentagon directive for vaccination that was in place for awhile.

Federal Employees and Federal Contractors outside of the above classes did not end up being required, nor was OSHA's requirement for large employers ever enforced.

More importantly, Biden was never like 'Fuck it, I'm the ultimate authority and I don't have to abide by any court's decisions". UNLIKE Mango Mussolini, who does that all the damn time.
