A Mandate Setback In New York
This is a narrow ruling--religious exemption--for the time being, but it may help open the door to broader challenges. It would seem that any decision to enforce such a vaccine mandate should be based on a true public health emergency. In such a situation, simply firing people hardly seems like an adequate response--shouldn’t forcible injection be the result of a refusal? Again, religious opposition, if the public is threatened with mass deaths?
It sounds like what we really need is an evidentiary hearing that would examine the basis for such a declared emergency. Is the emergency such as to reasonably warrant coercive measures? Where is the data--all the data? And those who oppose should be allowed a full opportunity to present their arguments.'
We may be inching toward that.
I guess I’m still a bit naive…
But the aclu coming out for vaccine mandates shocked me.
Next I’ll probably find out the top military deliberately sabotaged Trump, Phizer delayed the vaccine test results until after the election, Election Fraud is real, Covid treatments are being deliberately lied about by the science and medical establishment, or some other crazy theory….
Wait, all those really happened!
Denninger today, in "So You'd Like To NOT Have Society Collapse?", has apropo thoughts on employee boycotts of vax mandates, etc.:
< But now here comes a jab mandate! ... it's the literal threat of potential death or serious disability, which the company, of course, is *not liable for*, nor is anyone else. All for a starting wage... beginning at $12/hour....
Some of them (e.g. a married couple with kids) have figured out how to make it work on *one salary*, and there's nothing an employer can do to convince the second person to come back.
Do remember, that most of these people were screwed blind for a year and a half -- first by telling them they're essential, and must take the *risk of a deadly* disease for the benefit of others, and now by *demanding* they take a jab after they took said risk, got infected, and thus are immune!....
There are already places where WalMarts are being forced to close, to restock shelves, as they're so short of people and can't hire more, having put in place employee mandates which enough prospective and current employees are responding to with "**** that!" >
