Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita does not want the Biden administration to force health care workers in Indiana to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Rokita announced that he filed a lawsuit Tuesday morning, calling President Biden’s move unlawful.

“No pandemic gives President Biden the authority to ignore the Constitution and the rule of law,” Rokita said. “And my office will use every means at our disposal to protect Hoosiers’ liberties from this president’s gross executive overreach.”

Rokita is attempting to stop a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services rule in which all care workers at facilities that take part in the Medicare and Medicaid program be vaccinated.

This is the third suit Rokita has filed in relation to the COVID-19 mandates.
