A coalition of 10 states has filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping the Biden administration's mandate ordering health care workers at facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is leading the charge on the lawsuit filed Wednesday, which states that the diktat recently issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "imposes an unprecedented federal vaccine mandate on nearly every full-time employee, part-time employee, volunteer, and contractor working at a wide range of healthcare facilities receiving Medicaid or Medicare funding."
"Unfortunately, with this latest mandate from the Biden Administration, last year’s healthcare heroes are turning into this year’s unemployed," Schmitt said in a statement announcing the suit. "Requiring healthcare workers to get a vaccination or face termination is unconstitutional and unlawful, and could exacerbate healthcare staffing shortages to the point of collapse, especially in Missouri’s rural areas.

The attorneys general of Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming also joined in on challenging the mandate.
The filing argues that "by ignoring the facts on the ground and unreasonably dismissing concerns about workforce shortages, the CMS vaccine mandate jeopardizes the healthcare interests of rural Americans."
It also claims that the new regulation is illegal on a slew of counts including violating the Tenth Amendment, and notes that the Biden administration itself acknowledged as recently as July that vaccine mandates are "not the role of the federal government."

Seems there are a number of groups that are taking a stand...
Vaccine Mandate Ping
Forget the suing. Biden don’t care. Try a Convention of States!
Whyare people who are vaccinated and are ommune care about those who do not want the vax? It makes no sense.
That is a great long-term solution; however, I doubt that would be accomplished as quickly as what Fifth Circuit Ct. did.
Immediate relief thru a court would be helpful to health care employees who are being let go and the patients getting less or inferior medical treatment due to labor shortages.
It should be at least DOUBLE the number of states joining in, on this suit!
Interesting comment, at link....

The first thing done by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was to deliberately create the Ukrainian famine and starve millions of people. So the survivors understood their choices were “obey the Party” or “die”.
The Biden / Obama staffers and advisors are just following the model their heroes created.
There need to be more. I may need to move.
I hadn’t seen comments...
Gee ,I just figured they wanted to bring in more National Health Care/Obamacare—guess I am an optimist ? ;(
Thank you!
Which is one reason why this federal overreach makes no sense, until one finally concludes that it’s all about control, nothing else, and a weeding out of those who will not let the “new world order” control them.
Was there a massive ‘normalcy bias’, with the majority of the people, when the Bolsheviks first began taking over Russia? Is that simple human nature?
First you scare (FEAR) then you provide the *solution*, then you mandate the *solution*, then you control, by rationing healthcare, FOOD, etc.

In addition to the Ukraine genocide, I think what you are describing in second paragraph is M.O. of a “Color Revolution.” Top Down/Bottom Up. Planned and initiated from the top, chaos is carried out by the bottom—poor uneducated, etc. and the middle class clamors for order through obedience to authoritarian moves meant to solve the problems top caused.
Sound about right?
BTW, your first post was one of the more chilling I have read.
