It will be interesting to see how the new OSHA regulation will handle another issue — thus far only one of the vaccines, the Pfizer/BioNTech version, has received FDA approval. Will employees who have already received the Moderna or Johnson&Johnson vaccines still be considered in compliance under OSHA’s rule despite the fact that neither has received FDA approval?

I have two concerns about this point, one extremely compelling.

The first concern is why are the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines still being administered under the Emergency Use Authorization when the FDA itself says:

What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?

An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. Taking into consideration input from the FDA, manufacturers decide whether and when to submit an EUA request to FDA.

Wouldn't the availability of the FDA-approved Pfizer vaccine invalidate the need for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson EUA?

Secondly, and more importantly, the EUA vaccines require a patient informed consent form to be signed. United States case law says that any consent given under duress is not consent under the law.

It seems to me that forcing someone to get a vaccine or lose their jobs, their pay, and their family security, is the utmost coercive duress possible on someone.

Nobody can give a legally binding consent under these conditions, and for that reason these mandates to take the EUA vaccines should be challenged in court.

There is no fda approved vaccine available in the US.

The fda approved a Pfizer "vaccine", supposedly, similar to the one in use here, but it's not the same one.
