High Noon at High Court for Vax Mandate
Townhall.com ^ | January 5, 2022 | John and Andy Schlafly

The Supreme Court takes up the issue of vaccine mandates on Friday, holding a special hearing that is nearly unprecedented in its rushed timing.

At issue are two of Biden’s mandates. One compels the vaccination or testing of everyone who works at a 100+ employee company; the other requires vaccination of every staffer at every hospital, nursing home, or health care facility that receives funding from Medicare or Medicaid.

Will we become a country of haves and have nots concerning the Covid vaccine, whereby those who sensibly decline the vaccine are segregated in cities, schools, hospitals, and concerts? The new year has rung in a slew of new “no vaccination, no service” rules in restaurants, bars, gyms, and even maintenance work in high-rise apartments.

This is not a fight in which the Supreme Court wanted to be, just as the sheriff in the famous Western movie High Noon did not want to confront the outlaws returning on the noon train after the ringleader was released from prison. Ever since the Oscar-winning performance by Gary Cooper in that 1952 classic, its title has been synonymous with an unavoidable high-drama conflict that one side must win.

Four cases have been consolidated for this historic Court hearing, two on the OSHA employer mandate and two on the Medicare health facility requirement. Biden won on his employer mandate in an appellate court, while losing on his Medicare mandate in two other lower courts.

Much of the argument on Friday will focus on legal procedure, which the Court prefers rather than getting to the heart of the failure of the vaccine strategy against Covid. Liberals increasingly disguise their politics as science, and the more they mischaracterize the Covid vaccines as good science the less willing any justice will be to challenge falsehoods by public health officials.

But a million reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), an official government database, tell a story very different from the Biden party line. Pro-Trump Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was just permanently banned from Twitter after she posted official data from VAERS on the shocking number of Covid vaccine injuries.

“Note that the total number of deaths associated with the Covid-19 vaccines is more than double the number of deaths associated with all other vaccines combined since the year 1990,” concludes vaersanalysis.info, which compiles VAERS data in a more user-friendly way. This is no ordinary vaccine that Biden and his minions are imposing on the American people for the first time in American history.

The VAERS data show that the number of reported adverse reactions from the Covid vaccine has reached 983,758; the number of hospitalizations, 108,572; and the number of deaths, 20,622. British researchers published a report last June confirming the reliability of these VAERS data.

Yet the court filings by the Biden Administration make no mention of these shocking numbers of injuries and deaths posted by VAERS, as reported mostly by health care workers. It is understandable that many health care workers themselves decline to receive a vaccine after seeing how much harm it has caused to others they treat.

The lengthy oral argument on Friday may come and go without anyone mentioning these official VAERS data, which are hard to find on the internet and apparently censored on social media. A case of “the emperor has no clothes” may be on display unless someone is willing to blurt out, “but this vaccine has apparently killed more people than all other vaccines combined!”

Each Justice will have time to ask questions and make points about the legality of mandating the same vaccine that has reportedly injured a million people, while failing to end the pandemic. VAERS is maintained by the United States government, the same entity for whom the Justices work and by whom they are paid.

A century ago, the mindset of compulsory vaccination led the Supreme Court to affirm the mandatory sterilization of women thought not to be smart enough to have children. In Buck v. Bell (1927), the High Court used a precedent upholding mandatory vaccination to justify additional tyranny, relying on the same utilitarian logic that was widely accepted by progressive Democrats in the Woodrow Wilson era.

“The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough,” ruled Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., a favorite of liberal law school professors.

The vaccine strategy for Covid was hatched by a few faceless D.C. bureaucrats in 2020, despite how vaccines were unsuccessful in responding to the Spanish flu in 1918-19 or the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s and 1990s. Their strategy has resulted in skyrocketing Covid cases in the United States compared with poorer countries that are doing better with early treatment and natural immunity.

So I need a court’s permission to not do something.

My job hangs in the balance on this, and I have zero faith that they will do the right thing and declare these mandates unconstitutional.

Zero faith. Zero.

I hope, and I pray to God, that I am wrong.

this is a no-brainer ...

“OSHA” appears nowhere in the Constitution.

not that that matters anymore, so the SCOTUS will allow this tyranny to proceed

So seemingly the SCOTUS has ruled repeatedly in favor of mandatory medical procedures (vaccination, sterilization), and two of the justices we need, Kavanaugh and Barrett, have already individually ruled in favor of vaccine mandates?

I don’t see how this swings in a favorable direction. Why would Barrett vote differently on mandates than she already has?

With a vaccination mandate for every Medicare Medicaid facility, that will lead to mandatory vaccination for every person ON Medicare or Medicaid.

God help us.

Now there's an advantage for the Pharm companies, there would be no long term study possible for anyone on Medicare.

Again...God help us.

Because the issues before SCOTUS previously were regarding vaccination mandates that were state mandates. The issues being argued on Friday are Federal in nature.

Governments grow, and grow until they kill the people they’re supposed to protect.

Since the vaccines are NOT stopping the spread, why would you mandate such a vaccine??

Malta will instruct Epstein-Roberts what to do.

It will be lauded by the MSM and “Congress (CCP)”.

I work in healthcare, and got this injection early on when it was first made available, and WAS NOT MANDATORY. I did it of my own free will, not because I was frightened, but because in healthcare, I do it for the patient’s peace of mind.

But now, it is mandatory, and yesterday, I got an email telling me the “booster” was mandatory.

My company, who I have worked for hard, enthusiastically, and faithfully for more than 30 years, has made an implacable enemy of me by doing this. I can’t just quit, and don’t want to. I love my job and the people I work with. Not everyone gets to say that truthfully. My job skills won’t apply outside of the context I am in, and all healthcare is mandating this.

Because CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

So SCOTUS will do what Deep State tells it to do.

The ruling will be less important, to my mind, than the written decision that justifies it.

I think the written decision will give us a clue whether or not Deep State will settle for a four year loot and run on the public treasury, or if it plans on sticking around...

What about the OSHA testing requirement? Your employer needn't force the shots on you per OSHA - you CAN test out.

“So I need a court’s permission to not do something.”

Pretty much. And thanks to Roberts they can tax you for not doing it.

This, normally, the test of separating the “men” from the”
boys”; in the culture we see today, the test has become
a personal decision of separating the “males” from the “females”. The differences have now been made minor.

Prayers for you!

This is a very crucial moment, and their decision will define the future of the United States. I hope they realize the gravity of this and I hope they realize it’s not “just” about the vaccine but about our whole system of government and our Constitutionally protected rights. It’s that serious.
