Tens of millions of Americans have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and with that, workplaces around the country are opening up once again.
But the rules that some employers and others have put into place mandating vaccines that are still not fully authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, have sparked showdowns with employees.
Lawsuits have been filed against a Texas hospital, a Los Angeles school district, a North Carolina sheriff and a New Mexico detention center, to name a few.
And with a portion of the population hesitant to get vaccinated, including some who outright refuse, there may be more showdowns down the line. A May report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a non-profit that conducts research on key health policy issues, found nearly a third -- 32% -- of unvaccinated adults are waiting for full FDA approval of a vaccine before getting it.
The central argument in the suits is the vaccines are allegedly "experimental" because they only have emergency authorization -- and therefore, they cannot be mandated.
Allison Hoffman, a professor of law at University of Pennsylvania who specializes in health law, told ABC News these complaints “are not very strong legal arguments," noting that employers can legally require workers to get the shots because the FDA's emergency use authorization (EUA) means the shot is safe enough for the public.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also said vaccines approved under EUA are “safe” and “effective."
'Not coercion'
In Texas, a judge recently sided with Houston Methodist Hospital's vaccine mandate for their employees and tossed out a lawsuit filed by 117 employees who were against getting the shot.

It’s very sad how many people don’t realize how involved the pharma industry is with the abortion industry. That alone is well enough reason to stay far away.
“... some who outright refuse...”. OH NOES!!!! OUTRIGHT REFUSING! Guess they (we) will “pay the price” as pedo joe threatened. Uh, warned. Uh, advised. Willin’!
Nobody tells me what to put in my body.
“The central argument in the suits is the vaccines are allegedly “experimental” because they only have emergency authorization”
“Experimental” is not an allegation, it’s a fact.
Indeed, that the jab is a “vaccine” is an allegation, since definitionally it fits “genetic engineering” instead.
And Judge Hughes (Houston) denial was based purely on personal bias and certainly not on any even remotely legal basis and is far from over. It is only the first step that will eventually end up in the SCOTUS.
Funny just a short time ago, “My body my choice” was the mantra of the day,what hapened?
I have said it before here and that is you can bet your butt those pulling the strings are working behind the scene to change that EA to Approval, despite the facts and science.
The vaccine industry is pure evil
The “immunization “ theory is complete garbage 🗑
200 year history of idiots shooting people with chemicals to achieve “
Magic Antibodies “.
“Vaccinations only prove that you can inject someone
with highly acidic toxic poisonous chemicals and that person
hopefully surviving the debilitating side effects, such as multiple
sclerosis, lesions on the brain, paralysis, breakdown of the red
and white blood cells, ulcerations of the liver, lung, kidney, pancreas,
stomach and bowels, seizures and death. Vaccinations provide
zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices.”

Yes I can see this wending its way to the Supreme Court.
I could see banning a person from work because they are contagious
I can’t see banning them because they might be contagious at some nebulous moment in time.
