Is the federal government going to make vaccinations mandatory?
American Thinker ^ | 20 Mar, 2021 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 03/20/2021 5:29:41 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Would the SCOTUS uphold such an unconstitutional order.

While it hasn’t happened yet, it is obvious that the Biden administration, along with the rest of the globalists, thinks vaccinations should be mandatory despite the hesitation of many millions of Americans to submit to what is essentially an experimental vaccine, approved on an emergency basis, still unapproved by the FDA.

“Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.” (Friedrich von Hayek)

Testing that would ordinarily take at least five years has been rushed even though the mortality rate of Covid is low and there are now very effective treatments. Had HCQ and Ivermectin been approved once it was known that they worked, thousands of elderly lives might have been saved. But the self-appointed Covid czar, the execrable, highest-paid employee of the entire federal government, Dr. Fauci, denied what he knew to be true, that those old and inexpensive drugs worked. And because President Trump mentioned HCQ, the media made sure it was thoroughly discounted.

There are four vaccines available, Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and now the one by Johnson & Johnson. Only the J & J vaccine is not an mRNA gene manipulator. No one knows what the long-term effects or consequences of these new vaccines might be. They pretend they do but they do not. No one does.

Federal mandates aren't likely to be the problem here. I can easily see the Federal government mandating vaccinations for foreigners entering the U.S. as a condition of entry, but that's about the extent of its power.

The much bigger issue is going to be employers and business establishments mandating vaccinations for their employees and customers. This is far more likely than a Federal mandate to be where the legal battles over mandatory vaccinations will take place.

So many false and misleading statement.

The vaccines have been approved. You may disagree with the process but they have been approved.

Yes, they were approved using an process designed for emergencies but over 500,000 deaths qualify as an emergency.

Over 100 million doses have been administered, hardly indicative of an experimental vaccine.

And, no, mRNA vaccines do not manipulate your DNA.

And of course In a free market private business may make those decisions and employees may make the decision to not work for an employer who diverges from their beliefs.

An enterprising business would set up the position of saying vaccines are not required for employees and no masks are required for customers (I would go to such a place!).

You are not suggesting the government step into this private relationship? If you are, then you sre all for tyranny as long as you agree with it.

I used to love to travel. It was one of my favorite things.

As for work, I will do the same. Luckily my industry is short on qualified people, and long on work to be done.

Nope. Just prefer people with enough intelligence to argue a point instead of being a four year old (flat earther) who is only able to name call

In TN we have to watch ads with Dolly Parton scolding those who don’t want the vax: “Don’t be a coward!” Don’t be a ‘chicken squat’!” Sheesh.

Congress Critter Ron Wright suffered from lung cancer.

His death has been classified by the media as China Virus.

I know I probably stirred up the vaxxers, Bill Gates and Ant-knee Faucci. There is a large part of the population that does not trust them anymore. They have earned the distrust.

In a truly free market a private business that mandated vaccines would also be liable for any damages incurred when one of their employees or customers takes a vaccine to comply with these mandates.

And in a truly free market the management of that private business would not be permitted to hide behind a corporate shield to avoid criminal prosecution or civil liability in such a case, either.

And in a truly free market such a business and its management facing a massive award for damages would have no recourse to appeal a jury award in the case.

If we want to get the government out of this arrangement, then let’s do it — ALL THE WAY.

I will never take any of these "emergency use" vaccines. Never, because who knows what the long term side effects, if any, will be? In two to five years we may have a good idea of that. We won't before then.

Now, if we were dealing with an Ebola pandemic, and Ebola was nearing my town, then I'd take the shot simply because the short term odds of dying from it would be far less than getting a disease with a 20-50% mortality rate. But Covid isn't in that league - 99%+ who get infected by it survive.

I'm guessing that the survival rate is actually around 99.9% since the vast numbers of asymptomatic people who have been infected are not tallied into the numbers.

LOL.... Well the Feds make a lot of shots and as a whole the
individuals have to take them, good or bad. Sometimes other
alternates are optional.

The FDA has not approved a single COVID-19 vaccine. What they HAVE done is issue an Emergency Use Authorization for various treatments that are euphemistically called “vaccines” by their producers.

The FDA explicitly states on its website that these vaccines are NOT “approved” or “licensed.”

I'm not a lawyer, but say, for instance, that one day your employer tells you that unless you provably take vitamins every day, and in the amount they dictate, you'll be fired - does such action not open the employer up for a lawsuit for wrongful termination or some form of illegal discrimination?

Any lawyers here care to weigh in on that?
