Can legal liability for requiring an experimental drug be placed upon those entities requiring we take it?
Dear Boss,
Compelling any employee to take any current Covid-19 vaccine violates federal and state law, and subjects the employer to substantial liability risk, including liability for any injury the employee may suffer from the vaccine. Many employers have reconsidered issuing such a mandate after more fruitful review with legal counsel, insurance providers, and public opinion advisors of the desires of employees and the consuming public. Even the Kaiser Foundation warned of the legal risk in this respect. (https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/key-questions-about-covid-19-vaccine-mandates/)
Three key concerns: first, while the vaccine remains unapproved by the CDC and authorized only for emergency use, federal law forbids mandating it, in accordance with the Nuremberg Code of 1947; second, the Americans with Disabilities Act proscribes, punishes and penalizes employers who invasively inquire into their employees’ medical status and then treat those employees differently based on their medical status, as the many AIDS related cases of decades ago fully attest; and third, international law, Constitutional law, specific statutes and the common law of torts all forbid conditioning access to employment upon coerced, invasive medical examinations and treatment, unless the employer can fully provide objective, scientifically validated evidence of the threat from the employee and how no practicable alternative could possible suffice to mitigate such supposed public health threat and still perform the necessary essentials of employment.
At the outset, consider the “problem” being “solved” by vaccination mandates. The previously infected are better protected than the vaccinated, so why aren’t they exempted? Equally, the symptomatic can be self-isolated. Hence, requiring vaccinations only addresses one risk: dangerous or deadly transmission, by the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic employee, in the employment setting. Yet even government official Mr. Fauci admits, as scientific studies affirm, asymptomatic transmission is exceedingly and “very rare.” Indeed, initial data suggests the vaccinated are just as, or even much more, likely to transmit the vaccine as the asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. Hence, the vaccine solves nothing.
This evidentiary limitation on any employer’s decision making, aside from the legal and insurance risks of forcing vaccinations as a term of employment without any accommodation or even exception for the previously infected (and thus better protected), is the reason most employers wisely refuse to mandate the vaccine. This doesn’t even address the arbitrary self-limitation of the pool of talent for the employer: why reduce your own talent pool, when many who refuse invasive inquiries or risky treatment may be amongst your most effective, efficient and profitable employees? First, federal law prohibits any mandate of the Covid-19 vaccines as unlicensed, emergency-use-authorization-only vaccines. Subsection bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of section 360 of Title 21 of the United States Code, otherwise known as the Emergency Use Authorization section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, demands that everyone give employees the “option to accept or refuse administration” of the Covid-19 vaccine. (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/360bbb-3 )
This right to refuse emergency, experimental vaccines, such as the Covid-19 vaccine, implements the internationally agreed legal requirement of Informed Consent established in the Nuremberg Code of 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/ ).
As the Nuremberg Code established, every person must “be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision” for any medical experimental drug, as the Covid-19 vaccine currently is. The Nuremberg Code prohibited even the military from requiring such experimental vaccines. (Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F.Supp.2d 119 (D.D.C. 2003).
Second, demanding employees divulge their personal medical information invades their protected right to privacy, and discriminates against them based on their perceived medical status, in contravention of the Americans with Disabilities Act. (42 USC §12112(a).) Indeed, the ADA prohibits employers from invasive inquiries about their medical status, and that includes questions about diseases and treatments for those diseases, such as vaccines. As the EEOC makes clear, an employer can only ask medical information if the employer can prove the medical information is both job-related and necessary for the business. (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/questions-and-answers-enforcement-guidance-disability-related-inquiries-and-medical).
An employer that treats an individual employee differently based on that employer’s belief the employee’s medical condition impairs the employee is discriminating against that employee based on perceived medical status disability, in contravention of the ADA. The employer must have proof that the employer cannot keep the employee, even with reasonable accommodations, before any adverse action can be taken against the employee. If the employer asserts the employee’s medical status (such as being unvaccinated against a particular disease) precludes employment, then the employer must prove that the employee poses a “safety hazard” that cannot be reduced with a reasonable accommodation.
The employer must prove, with objective, scientifically validated evidence, that the employee poses a materially enhanced risk of serious harm that no reasonable accommodation could mitigate. This requires the employee’s medical status cause a substantial risk of serious harm, a risk that cannot be reduced by any another means. This is a high, and difficult burden, for employers to meet. Just look at the all prior cases concerning HIV and AIDS, when employers discriminated against employees based on their perceived dangerousness, and ended up paying millions in legal fees, damages and fines. Third, conditioning continued employment upon participating in a medical experiment and demanding disclosure of private, personal medical information, may also create employer liability under other federal and state laws, including HIPAA, FMLA, and applicable state tort law principles, including torts prohibiting and proscribing invasions of privacy and battery. Indeed, any employer mandating a vaccine is liable to their employee for any adverse event suffered by that employee. The CDC records reports of the adverse events already reported to date concerning the current Covid-19 vaccine.(https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vaers.html )
Finally, forced vaccines constitute a form of battery, and the Supreme Court long made clear “no right is more sacred than the right of every individual to the control of their own person, free from all restraint or interference of others.” (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/141/250)

Trader Joe’s Employees Say They Were Fired for Signing Affidavits Over Mask, Vaccine Policies
EXCERPT
“We’re going to create a wrongful termination lawsuit for everyone that they fire. They’ve already fired four. If they fire all six, then all six of those are going to be together suing Trader Joe’s for wrongful termination.”
The affidavits make a “demand for correction and investigation by the State of California,” Witzeman said, and they cite alleged violations of constitutional laws, including the Fourth Amendment’s right to privacy, and other civil and penal codes including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The documents state: “By denying employment to an employee who is not wearing a mask, has not received the Emergency Use Authorized COVID shot, or refused Emergency Use Authorized PCR testing for either medical or religious reasons, you are in violation of at least eight federal and seven state laws.”
It also states: “No claim of an ‘emergency’ or ‘executive orders’ or ‘health orders’ or ‘city ordinances’ excuses you from violating the laws set forth in this notice.”
The affidavits were sent to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, and Trader Joe’s registered agent, Paracorp Inc., by certified mail on Aug. 2. Copies were also sent to Trader Joe’s executives, including CEO Dan Bane, President of Stores Jon Basalone and Customer Relations/Communications Director Nicole High, Witzeman said.
“We’re going to use any and every legal action to enforce a judgment on Trader Joe’s for breaking these 15 laws,” he said.
Big fortune 500 companies and big companies like to be the big boss and don’t like being told what they can and can not do legally. You might win in a court of law, but you might lose when they come up with some other reason to fire you, or get rid of you. It called stabbing your employees in the back.
Already have a lawyer on the hook. Got a contract written up and whomever gives me this shot, must sign it and are solely reasonable for any thing that happens to me, from the jab. How many nurses or Doctors are going to sign that and take financial responsibility for my family?
Joe Biden stated in one of his lame news conferences that he would have the private employer’s backs when requiring their employees be vaccinated.
And, interestingly, we haven’t heard them yelling at Congress it about.
Or the lack of CoupFlu liability protection for biz in general.
They are protected. Maybe not by law but by government. They seriously want EVERYONE vaccinated. Soon you will need a chip either in your hand or on your forehead to buy things or travel. The chip will be your “vaccination passport”. Proof of vaccination so you don’t infect anyone and are “safe”. Even though a bunch of my vaccinated family just had a get together and most of them are sick with it. But one thing your not hearing is the amount of people that’s had Covid and are catching it again. Don’t seem to be many of them.
It depends on which corrupt judge gives his opinion in a lawsuit.
There are these two lawyers who discuss topics like this on YouTube and Locals. Google Viva Frei and Robert Barnes.
That fact comes straight from the FDA website.
However, in most cases, your litigation must begin in a special federal court.
If you are dissatisfied with the compensation - if any - issued by that court, you may directly sue the defendants listed above.

The FDA allowed the Pharm companies to use the vaxs on an emergency basis only. Included in that “approval” is a provision that no Pharm can be sued for anything. No liability.
Your gov’mt at work. You expected different on a scam?
I think what you understand is wishful but I”m not a lawyer and that really does not matter because resolution would require a legal argument. Even the lawyers do not know the outcome of that.
We live in a legalistic but lawless society in my opinion. Intent and spirit are just ignored when they are inconvenient. The attitude is that may not be legal but prove me wrong. Burden of proof is on the accuser of course and the inability to win the argument of proof is what the lawless bank on. Right and wrong don’t make a damn bit of difference what the lawless can get away with is all that matters. Right and wrong only matter if both parties have self-imposed moral / ethical limitations. Outside of that, let the games begin.
The law only forms the framework for litigation and the ensuing argument determines the applicability and violation of the law. Just as in contracts, if either party does not abide by the contract in the opinion of the other party culpability is determined by the court. Bottom line of this is to avoid entering into contracts with a belligerent if at all possible.
Furthermore, the giverment is in on this up to their pointy head. They want the FDA approval, they want everyone to be vaccinated regardless of efficacy or even morality. That could not be more clear to me. They make the laws and the law is not a problem for them. They will continue to make the laws and control us until we stop them.
If FDA rubber stamp approves any of these vaccines every “legal” and ethical argument including Nuremberg and Hippocratic Oath are not worth much more than the paper they are written on. Moral arguments do not matter to the court or the giverment or the employer. After that approval by FDA it seems the burden of proof becomes intentional and knowing endangerment. I doubt seriously you could win that one if the defendant has the official FDA okey dokey in hand. Of course the giverment knows this and that is why they are hell bent for leather to clear the decks of resistance with FDA approval.
The only thing I see that can stop enforced vaccinations is public outcry and the politicians getting nervous about their phoney baloney jobs to raise red flags of threats against it or refusal damn the consequences. If politicians allow this to go forward, just like the nazis, the only way to beat them is to win the war against them by force if necessary.
The time is coming, may be sooner than later, when people have to make a choice. Either you give in and become absorbed into the life without freedom which offers a very bleak and scary future, or fight back. Quit the jobs forcing you do do things to your body against your will. Pull your kids out of the indoctrination schools that force CRT and health tyranny on your children.
These companies and schools exist with people showing up and working. If people say we will not be forced into a shot that has not been tested for future safety then let them worry about refilling those positions.
All of this sounds scary too. But the option of rebellion and standing for your rights even though the road will be tough, really tough, is the only way freedom will still be in America.
