The US Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Joe Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate for businesses with 100+ employees.

However, the conservative majority allowed the healthcare worker rule to remain – Justices Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the liberals.

All they did was split the baby. No more mandates for companies that have over 100 workers however, the mandate remains for Healthcare workers at federally run medical facilities.

@Barefooter25 FORTUNATELY, healthcare workers aren't the ones not driving trucks to deliver product, or manufacturing widgets needed for every product under the Sun.

I understand your point - but if medical facilities accepting Medicare and Medicaid payments are the only ones - that's not so bad. It kind of illustrates just one of the reasons government should not be in the healthcare business. They got you by the gnads!

@Budwick Maybe the health-care workers can apply for religious exemption. But knowing the feds, that won't be allowed.

@Barefooter25 I'm not crazy about that part of the ruling, but the issue for health care workers is that there is an established precedent of having to comply to certain health care standards as terms of employment which includes vaccinations. Something that doesn't exist for most other employers. Now the argument for health care workers should be whether the mandate should extend to an experimental drug under EUA. But that's a different fight for another day.

@BizSuitStacy Pfizer has full approval, so the EUA whine is just that.

@QuixoticSoul here we go again. BNT162b2 is not the same as Comirnaty. The DOD lost it's case that the two are interchangeable. Different ingredients and different process. Read the footnote on the FDA release, page 23.
Whine away.

@BizSuitStacy

You watch too much YouTube, dude - listening to internet lawyers trying to dissect FDA’s information for recipients sheet. Branded and unbranded vials of vaccines are chemically identical, despite being legally distinct.

Keep whining though.

@QuixoticSoul Maybe you should read more and stop listening to the propoganda. Enjoy your 🍷

@BizSuitStacy Maybe you should read some.

@QuixoticSoul you conveniently left out the footnote at the bottom of the FDA release. Having the same formulation does not mean same ingredients or manufacturing process. Much like with generics...they aren't necessarily exactly the same.

“The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.”

Let me translate so that you can undrratand it. The two products are the same, but not really.

Why do you think the DOD lost their case?

Read. And more importantly, think.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@BizSuitStacy They are [i]legally[/i] distinct, because one vial is branded and one is not. They are [i]chemically[/i] identical. You’re a terrible lawyer. That bit is also not from the FDA authorization release either.

Would this be one of the cases having to do with religious exemptions?
