If enough CEOs were willing to do that, Deep State wouldn’t have issued the mandate.

The only question is whether or not Deep State will opt to stick with the mandate all the way to a SCOTUS decision that will finally make it clear to those still in denial that the US is no longer a republic.

If the workplace mandate is enforced long enough, it’s eventual overturn would be moot, as the damage would already be done.

As someone who has served in senior management roles in the corporate world, I can tell you that this is how these CEOs have been approaching this COVID fiasco:

1. What they really want is legal immunity against workplace lawsuits arising out of COVID or any related measures imposed over the last year and a half -- protection from lawsuits by employees who contract the disease, lawsuits by employees who are vaccinated under employer rules and have adverse side effects, etc.

2. These CEOs are never going to get that -- for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that tort lawsuits are covered under state law, not Federal law ... so there will ultimately be a patchwork of 50 different state laws that would cover this. Also, Congress would never pass it as long as Democrats have any say in the matter because they are owned by trial lawyer lobbyists.

3. So what the CEO wants is the next best thing: a Federal "mandate" or "regulation" that covers the employer's ass if there ARE legal ramifications to any COVID policy adopted by the employer.

4. I honestly don't think most CEOs really want a vaccine mandate. I suspect most CEOs don't give a damn if any given employee is vaccinated, not vaccinated, "immunized" by some witch doctor who gives exotic potions, etc. What the CEO really wants is to get a single uniform standard in place that covers the company's ass and eliminates COVID as a distraction. What this means it that there are effectively two options: (A) "vaccinate" everyone, or (B) eliminate almost every COVID-related measure entirely.

5. Most CEOs of large U.S. companies choose Option (A) for one simple reason: At least 75% of their employees are neurotic, gullible cowards who accept whatever idiocy is peddled on social media and buy into the Branch Covidian nonsense ... and who don't want to work with people who refuse to comply. If 75% of the workers in the U.S. refused to get "vaccinated," the CEOs would be fighting this OSHA bullsh!t much harder.

Without the cover of this government edict, I think companies could be sued by an employee for injury or death from the serum or in a class action suit for requiring a dangerous serum be used to maintain employment (an unlawful termination). Whether plaintiffs would prevail is not certain, but the companies would need to spend millions to defend their actions. Not a tenable position to hold as the risk of losing a huge lawsuit is too great as this "mandate rug" has been pulled out from under them and no longer serves as a defense.

In the meanwhile, damn them all!
