COVID-19: Chapter 9 - OMGicron

This strikes me as the step that gets law bro’d. I think a straight mandate would be upheld, this gonna fall into the government telling business what to do BAD category with current court IMO

My company is right around the cutoff point and deplorable leaning, can’t wait to hear the talk about this. Maybe they’ll just fire a few people to get under the threshold.

He’s also requiring healthcare workers to get vaccinated through some Medicare/Medicaid authority.

Yeah this court will 100© side with businesses. I’m glad theyrr trying but this won’t happen

My company is over the threshold and is quite deplorable, I can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Yeah, I can see a lot of smaller companies resisting this. But I think compliance culture at big publicly traded companies is such that they will just go along with it.

Most large companies want their people vaccinated anyway. Fortune 500 companies are run by ruthless calculating sociopaths that like to present narratives about employee “wellness” that paint them as Good Leaders. Those people are not raging deplorable culture war Republicans. But many smaller companies are run by culture war Republicans.

officials who strike down mandates are arguably aiding and abetting abortion via miscarriage.

Pretty sure that big business wants vaccine mandates

Couldn’t they just do it on their own now that it’s fully approved?

Depending on if that industry is having a labor shortage they might not be able to lose 25% of their workforce

Because it’s a coordination problem. It makes it smooth and easy for everyone if it’s a mandate. And they are not going to lose 25% of their workforce.

That article is from early February and predates the detection of Delta in the UK and US. Delta didn’t even get the name “Delta” until the end of May. You would get near complete agreement that it’s going endemic now.

That’s not at all obvious.

But they didn’t do it because someone might sue them saying it’s wrong.

You haven’t met Slow Joe have you?

LAUSD not fucking around, although I wish it began prior to January.

I would get a test for my own conscious. Yeah it’s probably a cold but you have the resources to get a covid test so why not?

Time wrote an article about COVAX. This is the group built to try and get vaccines to more countries.

It’s a pretty interesting article.

Join me on team Doomer. We ARE absolutely fucked. Our species is too selfish to survive an event that requires cooperation. Climate change is it, and we have failed. Now we wait for the inevitable fires, floods, famine, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that will ruin the surface.

California used to be an absurdly beautiful place in the summer. Its hellish now. We have lost.
