Courts have generally upheld COVID vaccine mandates in recent months, with the Supreme Court declining to block enforcement of Maine's requirement for health workers.
If the Supreme Court has already decided in this fashion, how could any of these suits truly hold up when all is said and done? Hasn't the USSC's decline to block the Maine requirement already set a precedent?
Declining to hear a case is not deciding the case. A decline can be for one of several reasons.
There's a difference between state mandates (gov't) and OSHA/CMS mandates (bureaucracy).
If a State can \unilaterally\ exercise its bureaucratic prerogative to establish mandates with penalties.
The State Legislature can certainly exercise its representative prerogative and declare the pandemic over, making all such bureaucratic mandates...null and void.
State Legislators ain’t got the balls to enact the will of the people who elected them.
