Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra on Monday issued a grave warning if the U.S. Supreme Court were to strike down the Biden administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) mandate on COVID-19 vaccination for employers with 100 or more employees.
The court began hearing oral arguments on two separate legal challenges this week.
Becerra told “CNN Newsroom” that “people will die” if the mandate gets struck down. He added that would be on the justices’ “conscience.”
“[H]opefully the plan is that the Supreme Court will recognize that the federal government, the Biden administration has the authority to require these vaccines,” Becerra said. “We know they work. They save lives. We’ve proven it. Here at HHS, with 88,000 workers, nearly 100% of our workers are vaccinated already.”
Host Victor Blackwell asked, “And if they don’t?”
“And if they don’t, well, I think that will be on their conscience,” Becerra replied. “I think there’s some clear authority, legal authority, for us to move forward as we have proposed — both for the private sector workforce and for the health care workforce. And we understand that if we don’t get people vaccinated and covered this way, people will die, and if you’re a health care worker, for sure.”

Yep, the FDA REFUSES to recognize ANY outpatient treatment for covid no matter how many doctors are keeping patients out of hospitals with HCQ and Ivermectin.
Yep. That’s my thought as well. We shall see. Say a prayer.
If we prohibit companies from make candy and cookies people will die. If we ban tobacco and alcohol people will die. If we prohibit cars from going over 25MPH people will die.
That is life.
Becerra is an ultra leftist Mecha muchacho from California. His main skills are to lie blithely with an arrogant smile on his face. He was asked two months ago about a WIDELY REPORTED Israeli study showing natural immunity to be superior to vexing. “I am not familiar with that study” he sneered. He is not a MD., merely a leftist political hack.
Central planners know what is best.
More will die sooner if the shots are forced on them.
Sadly, the court doesn’t seem to know that.
People are dying WITH the stab and booster!
My brothers who have the same shot have had no issues after 6 months.
But for every individual who fears what happened to my cousin, we need to bury, alive and screaming if necessary, the notion that everyone must be subjected to a one size fits all approach to resolve this chicom plague.
are we threatening SCOTUS now?? This could get serious.
The issue for the court is a legal one.
It concerns the OSHA mandate.
The vaccines don’t seem to prevent omicron transmission.
The vaccines do tend to prevent infections from becoming very serious.
It is not at all a proven fact that say 95 vaccinated infected persons are less of a workplace threat than say 100 unvaccinated infected persons.
The unvaccinated persons will probably get sicker and may be far more likely to take a sick day and thereby safeguard their co-workers.
They will also probably get sick faster. An unvaccinated person infected on Friday may be very sick by Sunday afternoon. A vaccinated person infected on Friday may only get noticeably sick on Monday afternoon.
To be sure, clinical trials and mathematical analysis would need to be conducted.
Getting vaccinated is generally a good thing individually for older adults and unhealthy persons.
Yeah, but the NATION will die if the SCOTUS continues not sticking to its knitting and determine the constitutionality of LAWS. They have no business taking account of how many people might die as a result of their decision.
I’d happily accept a few more deaths if we can preserve the Republic and our form of government.
It’s so easy to determine whether a law or governmental action is constitutional that a child could do it. It certainly doesn’t take some type of “super judge”, and in fact Supreme Court justices are not required to be judges, or even lawyers. But of course, leftists don’t see the court this way. They see it as an alternative legislature, through which they can implement their preferred policies and even bend American law to fit that of other countries. Their absolute last consideration is fidelity to the intent of the Constitution’s authors.
It’s gone so far now that the Supreme Court really serves no productive purpose. When justices are constantly musing about what they believe to be the “best” result of a pending decision, instead of just calling constitutional balls and strikes, they are WAY outside their lane.
No worries, he will have us all branded as domestic terrorists and then arrest us, confiscate our wealth and property and send us to eternal prison
“Becerra has a law degree. He is more qualified to run a taco stand than comment on anything medical.”
Which is a insult to my friend Rudy, who owns a taco stand, an owner/operator who produces good food at a good value for customers who enjoy Mexican food.
Becerra who produces nothing but paper lawsuits that waste money,isn’t fit or qualified to hold Rudy’s jock.
Rudy is a producer who adds value to his community, while Becerra is a parasite who takes value from producers.
OSHA doesn’t have a damn thing to do with this.
The bastards might order me to wear PPE around 480V but i’ll be damned if they tell me to inject shit into my body.
