Problem with Biden’s vaccine strategy from the outset:
1) He completely skipped over trying to educate & persuade vaccine skeptics & went straight to mandates, which makes many skeptics dig in their heels
2) Virtually no one thought the mandate would ultimately hold up in Court
Now I have a question regarding the other half of the decision ( in which Justice Roberts and Kavanaugh joined the liberal wing of the court ):
How are we to understand the ruling where SCOTUS allowed a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for most health care workers?
Is this only limited to FEDERAL Government Hospitals? Or do they cover private hospitals? I mean aren’t private hospitals considered private businesses? If so, they should not be covered by the vaccine mandate.
But then this ruling is vague and does not clarify.
How are we to interpret this ruling? Are private hospitals that accept Medicare/Medicaid payments covered by this mandate?
The foundational issue is still that of the premise of the lethality of Covid being so high across all ages and conditions (vs. mainly the aged and unhealthy) and that of vaccination being so effective that such a mandate could be justified, which increasingly is evidenced to not be as efficacious as promoted, especially in the long term.
“We didn’t impose ANY vaccine requirements until August, and the one the Court stayed today was not announced until September. These requirements were used only after persuasion, incentives ($100 to get a vax), and final FDA approval were all in place.”
That is the logic of a rapist. “I asked you nicely, even offered you dinner, but you still said ‘no’”. “So now I have to force you.”
Makes no difference. They rules that OSHA cannot enforce it. Biden just calls the airlines and large multinationals and asks them to please require it as a condition of employment.
They will do so.
Some poor schlub will sue, and the Courts will rule no standing. And all the Free Traitors will bray “private company rules must be obeyed”, and “go work elsewhere if you don’t like it”.
