Supreme Court Blocks Business Vaccine Rule, Declines to Stay Health Care Worker Mandate
2022-01-14
[THEEPOCHTIMES] The Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
on Thursday blocked the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses but decided to let a separate regulation that requires health care workers to get a vaccine take effect.

In a 6—3 ruling, justices halted the mandate for all private employers with 100 or more workers, ruling the states and companies that challenged the rule were likely to succeed.

Biden administration officials had argued that the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 gave them the authority to impose the mandate, but a majority of justices disagreed.

"Applicants are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Secretary lacked authority to impose the mandate. Administrative agencies are creatures of statute. They accordingly possess only the authority that Congress has provided. The Secretary has ordered 84 million Americans to either obtain a COVID—19 vaccine or undergo weekly medical testing at their own expense. This is no ’everyday exercise of federal power.’ It is instead a significant encroachment into the lives—and health—of a vast number of employees," the majority wrote in a slip opinion.

#4  Not surprising. The hospitals I worked at, even though I was in IT and not in the main hospital, still had all staff have to have certain vaccinations and a flue and TB test done every year.

The theory is you don't want staff around really sick people and lugging in more possible germs to add to the mix.
